Things are coming together for Adelaide Lillian

I thought all of you might like to see what I have been busy doing up here in the Burgh!
I made this cute "A" for her diaper bag. It is made from tapestry samples that Karen gave me!
Here is the close up. I am going to put a grommet through the top.
Here are her swaddlers and a whole bunch of burp cloths that I have made. My favorites are the ones with the African wax fabric.
These are her little bitty 0-3 month clothes with the moccasins that Mitchell bought her. The knitted things at the top of the drawer were my bonnet and booties.
Here are her bigger clothes, extra sheets, and a cuddly blanket for her.
I found this little dress at Nordstrom on great sale! I have a FuzziBunz diaper that perfectly matches this dress. The color is called "crushed berry"
This is the small FuzziBunz in Cotton Candy next to the one size adjusted to the smallest in Crushed Berry. Based on how small this adjusted we decided to register for the FuzziBunz one sizes!
This is my diaper stash so far. I have two Lil' Joeys by Rumparooz (the two in green) They are for newborns and fold down around the umbilical cord. The Lil' Joeys are all in ones, meaning that it is super simple to use, no special folding, no inserts. There are three FuzziBunz (two small and one one size) I have a fourth FuzziBunz that is an XS in light green, it is currently at my friends' house adorning the little bum of Selah Joelle Dutra. The striped one is a Thirstie Duo Wrap in size 1. It will go over a prefold or a kissaluv for the newborn period!
Here they all are in their drawer! Cloth diapers are so cute!
This is my glider (Thanks Aunt Lisa) with my ottoman. Draped over the arms is Adelaide's collection of vintage dresses that I need to clean.
Here is her little library!
This is how the room is looking! I love the patchwork feel of it all.
Another view. The blankets over the side are from Uganda.
Here is a close up of the contents of her crib. I made the doll for her way back during TAMS. She is all hand sewn and Mitchell helped do some of the stitches on the heart. The little bear was brought back for Adelaide from Scotland by soon-to-be-Aunt Caroline! The little dog was my toy "Ruff Ruff".

Still on my to-do list:
Get stuff that doesn't belong in the nursery out of there
Clean the vintage gowns
Finish the dust ruffle
Make her a quilt (I already have the fabric and it is fabulous)
Grommet her "A"
Sew some pillowcase dresses
Put up some wall art, including a fabulous giraffe print from Uganda
Hang her mobile, African elephants!

I hope all of you like it!

  1. Wow! You have been busy. Everything is soooo cute! My favorite is the diaper bag. All the little cloth diapers are also adorable. I can't wait to see you and touch that belly. You hair looks cute. You got it cut? You look so much like your Mom in that pic =)
    I love you,
    Aunt Lisa

  2. I am glad that you like all of it! I can hardly wait to get home for Christmas to show off this bump in person :)

    Yes, I did get my hair cut. Pregnancy agrees with most of me, but not my hair. It wasn't looking healthy so I got 3-4 inches cut off the bottom and added some bangs.

    Mom told me that you thought I looked like her in the pic. She is a pretty lady to look like.

    Love you oodles!
