Preparing for Baby

The time has come and I am out in beautiful British Columbia assisting my daughter in her transition to motherhood.  We have been doing yoga and walking daily to get this labour  started and it has not happened yet (her due date is actually March 18).   
PictureMy view when I landed, lots of mountains to surround us!

"Crafty" Prep for Baby

I thought I would share both my daughter and son in laws' crafty preparation for baby.  Some of it is quilty, some wood work, some purchased and  thoughtful  items to make their nursery very special.

Let's start with wood work.  My son in law is a talented woodworker and he made a really special piece of wooden wall art for his new baby.  He painted, stained and wood burned it to provide a very special message to his little one......  Have I got your curiosity ?  Check out his work below:

Love this little quote!

Another of his painted and wood burned wall art, this one was made for their home and not for the baby but I thought I would share it with you because it is so beautiful.  See below:

My daughter Katie shown below, made the lovely hexi quilt below for her baby to be.

Check out the quilting, she is relatively new to machine quilting and English Paper Piecing, she did such a great job!
The rug they purchase is indicative of their life style, it's all about the outdoors, mountains, wildlife, camping, hiking and fishing.

The crib ​(provided by Chad's Parents) is a mini crib because their home is small and right now it's in their bedroom , so adorable!

The baby supply organization of course will be endless, however they have thought of a clever idea for a tiny home that is moveable. If they are changing baby or bathing baby, they can move products/supplies around.  It is a basic utility cart from IKEA but such a great idea. See below:

Some natural watercolour paintings painted as gifts by my husband (and grandpa to be Rick) prior to baby.  
​These make a great addition to baby's room.  See these below:
I gave you a sneak peak of the baby quilt/wallhanging at the top of this blog post and it is currently hanging in the baby's room.  Made by myself, I had purchased the pattern at the most recent quilt show in Waterloo.  I left out the pattern in my studio purposely quietly to see if my daughter liked it and .......she loved it.  I then had to get all of the fabric from the quilt shop and they still had it (lucky us!).  The quilt was quilted on my long arm with a leaf free motion pattern.  After all Bears are in the woods!
