Adela's Favorites

Just having a little chat with the birdies.
It really has been forever since I posted about my first venture into the world of distressing wood furniture. FINALLY, here is the finished product!


Tada!
 It was such a fun project to work on while I was waiting for Adela's arrival. I put up a homemade mobile above it for her to look at while I change her and it has turned out to be one of her happiest places. She looks at the birds above her head and talks away to them as if they will sing back to her. My sister, who is also expecting a baby girl, recently bought an old dresser so it looks like I get to try my hand at another technique! I'm thinking of using a bolder color to suit Lindsey's personality more (because I'm so fragile and delicate like the creamy white and feminine antique gold of mine suggests...right).
Adela's birdie friends.
 I made them from an Etsy design.
I am taking orders if you'd like one for a
special new baby coming your way!

 I had so much fun working on these projects and it hasn't really stopped there. I never thought that I would take after my mother and become so crafty. My mother is just as surprised by this considering she used to have to pay my sisters and I off to help her with craft show items. I've listed some of the websites that I regularly go to for fun ideas; usually crafting them to my personal style and supplies that I have on hand. Check 'em out and happy crafting!
