"Oh whistle while you work..."

Well I got some things done this weekend and others started. Saturday we went and looked at the shop space that my parents are interested in for their business. It's a pretty decent space, but it definitely needs work and heat! That's right, there's no heat in the building.

Matt spent Saturday afternoon brewing and I ran to O-town to pick up some different yellow fabric and some paint for the nursery.

Here's the (almost) finished quilt top. Last night I stitched all of the blocks together. Tonight I'm hoping to get the border (which is the darker pink) done, and the binding will be done in the blue.

Then I have to quilt it. I still haven't decided on that. I don't really want to send it out, as it would about $50 for that, but I don't know if I want to deal with it myself. I have 2 months before the baby shower, so I'm thinking I might try and hand-quilt it myself. The finished size will be around 40".

Last summer I spent part of my vacation painting the room we plan to use as a nursery. I had wanted a Beatrix Potter border around the middle of the room, but there doesn't seem to be any Beatrix Potter stuff in existance. So I decided to paint a middle strip around the room and put wallies (bought from ebay) on that part, to create me own border.

The paint I bought this weekend was the middle color, it's Palm Breeze, by Behr. I think it should work quite nicely. I have some of the wallies already, but I think I want to get one pack (if I can find them) of just Peter Rabbit.

The rest of the stuff for the room (crib set etc) I'll end up having to make, but not right now.
