this whole not knowing if the baby is a boy or girl makes it a bit difficult to find neutral ideas & items (dont even get me started on the lack of neutral clothing) but we have decided (or more like i have decided and the hubs hasnt said no...) that we are gonna go with blue and green and then if its a girl we can add in some pink pieces. so thats that. ive really wanted to make a mobile for above the crib and came across a few ideas & decided to combine em.
so i bought some scrapbook paper to make some pinwheels. easy peasy. cut a square. fold to make an x, cut on the x lines to almost the center. punch holes. bend in and attach with a brad. it seriously was pretty easy.
i had already bought a mobile thing aka a photo mobile from target but anyways. after i had made all the pinwheels and attached them to the mobile i realized this was not gonna work. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too busy. i kinda get overwhelmed looking at it from the bottom, so i would assume baby would too.
so heres to trying to make this work. maybe ill detach parts of the mobile to use less pinwheels? or maybe hang the pinwheels like a banner in the room by the changing table. or come up with something completely different. who knows. all the supplies and mobile thing were about $15 so it didnt really break the bank.
so nursery attempt 1: prime & paint = in progress
nursery attempt 2: semi-fail but can (hopefully) be saved.
