So inspiring. </p> <p>I'm in the process of putting my LO's nursery together. Right now I'm in the middle of a sewing a quilt and a few cushion covers and crocheting another blanket. I have some fabric coming in for a crib sheet and changing pad cover. I'm hoping to paint a couple of pictures as well, but that depends on how quickly I get through my other projects (baby is due at the end of May). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-diy-for-the-nursery-if-so-what-did-you-make#post-106294 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 08:41:30 +0000 heffalump 106294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blushink: I did the pig in college for a painting class.

I still plan to DIY some accessories like a bunting, name or initials for the walls, change pad covers and I think that's it!</p> <p>Don't be afraid of your sewing machine!! I was a total newbie with mine (my Nana's vintage machine from '64) I had to teach myself right down to threading the silly thing and am sooo glad I did! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-diy-for-the-nursery-if-so-what-did-you-make#post-106289 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 08:34:44 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 106289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: did you paint that pig?! it's adorable.

I did a huge canvas with lyrics from bye bye birdie's "everything is rosie" since lo is named rose. I painted a lot of piggy pictures in college that we used in her room. And I made her a piggy mobile. I'm sure there's more but I don't remember. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-diy-for-the-nursery-if-so-what-did-you-make#post-105843 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 19:32:18 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 105843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an artist so crafting is fun for me, even if i don't have much time to do it. But when came time to decorate Mavrick's room, I DIYed seeing I was on a budget.</p> <p>I made Ceiling Poms, Clothes dividers, lamp shade, graphic posters/wall art and pinwheels. I will also be DIYing for bebe girl (details coming soon)</p> <p>Did you DIY for the nursery? If so, what did you make? </p>
