Bradley's New Computer

Bradley always wants to get on our laptops and we don't ever let him. So Bryan and I were talking the other day and decided we should Bradley his own computer. Bradley likes to call his cousins and talk so Bryan lets him use his cell phone. Today Bradley got his new computer and put it on Bryan's laptop desk that he uses and used Bryan's bluetooth to call his Aunt KK and his cousins. Besides not wearing anything but his underwear, he is ready for DealerSocket.

Baby Bedding Bought

So this is a very boring 100th post but here it goes.

I bought the baby bedding. I was totally planning on making it and spending way to much money and way to much time, but we (yes Bryan went to) went to Ikea today and while Bradley played in there little play area we got to look around. I got bedding that we both really liked and it was very reasonably priced. Although it is not anything like I was going for, it is super cute and the idea's are already running through my head on what do to in the room. The bedding is lime green and white hippos. It came with blankets that are a variety of colors, so we are going to pull out the pink in that and go with lime green and pink. Very different from anything I would normally go towards, but it is really cute and fun.

Fabric

This is the fabric that I like. I know there are more samples than I will use, but I like them all and this is what I am going for. I did find some bedding that I really really really like but it is $850.00 for the set, so I am back to making it.

Colors

So I totally know what colors I want to use and even found some fabric online that I really like. I know the pattern for the quilt is in the book YOUNG AT HEART QUILTS, by Julie Popa. So does anyone have this book I can borrow? I am willing to order it from Amazon, but would just like to borrow it if all possible. I know that making it will probably be a little more in the long run, but I will get what I want, in the colors I want and know I will like it. My mom is an amazing sewer and she offered to help (kinda). She isn't gonna tell me no, even if she really doesn't want to because I am prego and she loves me. I am thinking about ording material online or just looking for it at stores. There are some awesome fabric stores in Bakersfield and I am sure I can find some fun stores around here. Now all I need to do is focus on my school work, get that done and then I can spend my free time sewing.

Baby Bedding

My parents are coming out in 2 weeks and we are going to spend the time they are to paint. I already know what I want to do for Bradley's room and I want to get the new baby's room painted too. So with that in mind I have started looking at crib bedding. I am amazed at the selection, but cannot find anything I really like and want to spend the kind of money on. I am amazed at how much sets are. Bradley didn't have a set of bedding, I just used solid color stuff and a blanket I had for him. I did end up buying Bradley a small set once we turned his crib into a toddler bed, but I really want to have a set for this baby. So I am thinking I might attempt to make something. My sewing skills are minimum at best, but I know I can sew a straight line and I know I can find fabric I like. Here is a picture of what I want to make. It is a quilt and is probably way to much for me to try to take on, but I am up for a challenge and know there are people that would answer my questions. I even found a company in Azle that does the actual quilting part by a big computer machine. So I figure I can sew everything together and then let them do what seems like the hard part.

We are not using the name Kirsten but this is what I like. I would do different colors than this, but I really like the way it looks.

For those of you that are really good at things like this, does seem like it would be too much of a project?

Thanks Teresa!!

Bryan's friend Teresa in Nicaragua has a little store and she sent us home with a bag of candy for Bradley. Here are some pictures of Bradley and his candy and one of Bryan and Teresa.

She told me to eat half of the candy so the baby will get some too.

Bradley's 3rd Birthday

Bradley had a great birthday this morning. He got his gifts and cake this morning because Bryan's mom had to catch her flight in the afternoon and we wanted her to be here.
