Handmade Nursery: Wall Art Continued

I got on a roll yesterday and painted 2 more pieces for the future nursery. Here is the "g" that I was painting the other day. I used a canvas board for that one so I just need a frame to put it in. I have been in love with the state art for awhile now so I made one for the baby using a wrapped canvas. I painted around the sides so I'm just going to hang that one up on the wall as is. I have one more wrapped canvas I purchased so I might make an Indiana one too as most of our family is either in Indiana or Kansas. One of these days I'll get around to making a whole outline of the United States and put hearts all over it where all of our family lives to hang in the main part of the house.

I used another canvas board, so this one will need a frame too. The fabrics to the left are the three I made crib sheets out of so I pulled the star shape from the orange and green sheets. There's a little peak of the adorable fox on the polka dot fabric. I have more things planned for him!

Welcome to the new followers that just joined me the past couple days! I love having you here!

Handmade Nursery: Wall Art

I made up my mind over the weekend that I wasn't going to wait until baby has a nursery to start on art for the walls. I have a vision in my head of a collage wall of different pieces. Some will be painted on canvas, some will be printed artwork and there has to be at least one big painted wooden letter in there too. Since we finalized our baby name choices over the weekend and they both start with G, this was the piece I started with. It is completely ironic that we ended up with names starting with the same letter again. When we were trying to come up with names for L, the boy name also ended up starting with L. We have had the boy's named picked out for some time but were still struggling with the girl's name this time around. I heard the name over the weekend and knew that was it and so did Nick. And it was again completely unintentional that it also starts with a G! I am so excited and relieved to have baby names picked out now that I'm 31 1/2 weeks along.
