Decisions...decisions...Bedding Decision

One of the biggest parts of your nursery is obviously your crib bedding. There are so many questions you have to answer: What colors do I want to use? What style do I want? Do I want a bumper or not? Tailored skirt? Ugh. It's hard. I've been pondering this topic for awhile now. I started with a 4-piece crib set on my registry at Baby's 'R Us but decided that I didn't really like it. It was ok but I couldn't really get excited about it. Well, then I found this bedding here at Kelly's Korner. She had her bedding for Harper (and Hollis) made here and I loved both sets that she has. I really liked Harper's. Here is what it looks like...


Isn't it cute!! I love the zebra and I had already decided on pink and brown. So, I got on Polka Tot Designs and went to design my bedding...holy smoly...I couldn't justify spending $400 on bedding! I love ya, Lex, but DANG! So I reevaluated my options and decided that making it would be the best route to get what I wanted. So what did I do? Called my grandma. The sewing master. I asked her if this would be doable and of course, she said yes, like always :). The next move was to locate the fabric. I couldn't find what I wanted at a store so I finally found it online at House Fabric. Deciding on my three staple fabrics wasn't easy, but here is what I came up with.



We shall see how it turns out...but I am super excited to see! We just got the crib in and can't wait to put it together!!!

On another note, I ordered these for Lexi today off Etsy. Aren't they cute!!! You just iron them on to a onesie!

It's a super nasty day in MO. Rain, cold, yuck.
