getting closer

well, things here are getting more and more ready for baby partini. this weekend has been particularly productive. things kicked off with a baby shower on friday, courtesy of my workmates. special thanks to my bff for hosting too! everyone was very generous and we came away with lots of sweet things for the babe. then on saturday, chris patiently painted the room and we set up the crib. today, i got a few things to finish setting up the changing table. all in all things are shaping up nicely.


these are a couple of close-ups of artwork in the room. the first is from my mom. she found it at a thrift store. i had it mounted and reframed. i think it's a great piece. it's hard to tell here, but this is all cross stitched.


this one i got from etsy. the owls are so adorable.

at the baby shower, i got the best, best gifts from esther. i have to wait until daylight again so i can get good pics of them. she made a sweet little quilt and sling for partini. they really are perfect and even if i had hand-picked the fabrics myself, i wouldn't have gotten them as good as she did. thanks!!
