A Splash of Color: The Sequel

Jadyn's room is [FINALLY!] done! I [FINALLY!] finished decorating last week. This little project was so much fun. It was a great way for me to spend Jadyn's nap time. I really loved sewing again after a seven year hiatus. I feel like my sewing skills are slowly coming back.

These pictures were taken the day we (my good friend, Michelle, and I) started the project: March 6, 2009. Remember the rules: no nails and no paint.

That day we hung the dots and the "clothes line." Later we tried to find fabric, but the color combination I used seems to be so rare! After a few trips to the fabric market, I finally found a print in the exact colors I wanted. I designed a piece quilt (my first one ever!) to be a blanket and bumper in one, because (let's be honest) I'm too cheap, lazy, and impatient to make both. It is mostly for decoration right now anyway, and I think it will be big enough to use on a "big girl" bed later. Then I made a matching valance and some pillows. Wah-lah. Jadyn's room.
