Maggie's Room

This spring we were very busy trying to get ready for a baby and going on trips (Florida, Washington, and other various places) that it was May before we started doing anything in the Nursery.  Although it took us awhile to get started, we finished Maggie's room in time for her arrival!  Here are a few pictures of the room in progress:
Although it is only Craig in the pictures, I would like it to be known that I did help and did all the painting at 36 weeks pregnant.

Anyway, here are the results:

So Craig did the board and batten/trim work.  I did all the painting in the room and made the birds for the branch.  We found the branch in the woods behind our house.  Craig prepped the and installed the branch and attached the birds. I also made the scrap-map above the bookcase and the wood sign in the bookcase.  When I was 40 weeks and some odd days pregnant I was so bored of waiting to have a baby that I would come home from work and sew, thus the dog bed (in the corner) and scented satchel which hangs from her changer. It may be hard to see but there are a few tab blankets that Great Grandma Bushey made for Maggie on the bottom shelf of the bookshelf hanging on the side of the wire basket.
My mom made the curtains, and Renae and Linda made the quilt on the chair! The picture above the changer is of Vidler's in East Aurora, NY (http://www.vidlers5and10.com/ )! There are two smaller picture frames to the right and left of the larger picture that are crib cards of when Craig and I were born.
I made the crib sheet and crib skirt and my mom made the blanket!  Excuse the tripod in the corner, it is for Maggie's video monitor.

That's Maggie's room! She also has a HUGE closet for all of her clothes and baby gear!  Lucky girl:)!
