i had a fun time making thank you notes this weekend and finally finished up writing the last of them from all of our awesome baby showers. the new work room set-up is GREAT! next project: felt mobile for nursery…

we are almost done with the nursery, as the baby could arrive anyday now… gub is 38 weeks along, so just two weeks away from our due date. we are adding some final touches to the nursery…

gub made some paper garland using red and white baker’s twine and two different sized circular die cutters. it turned out super cute! she might make more to hang from the wall shelves.

we also hung up some more artwork, including a little grouping near the file cabinet corner: one of our vintage paint by numbers, a lisa congdon collage and a few other fun pieces. we put up a couple of little gocco screen prints by matte stephens as well.

have you noticed the coca-cola building near georgia tech is completely covered in some sort of white fabric? what’s the deal?

red hook brewery recently revamped their graphic and bottle design and i’m digging it! the bottles are now more rounded and look like stretched out red stripe bottles. the graphic design is also greatly improved and features a screenprinted look with a much simpler, yet catchy design. take a look for yourself, but to me these bottles stand out way more than they used to on the beer aisle.

in case you were worried, long hammer is still the same ipa you know and love, it just has a new look. it’s a light bodied, full tasting ipa, brewed with cascade and willamette hops for that great floral aroma and flavor. it’s not my favorite ipa out there, but it is a tasty one!

the little one is coming soon…. less than three weeks to go, so we washed all of our baby clothing and bedding this week! in doing so, we were also able to see what we have and what we still need for clothing. she will be a well-dressed little newborn!

we also hung our baby bath in the back of the shower. we are running out of space and needed a spot for it.

happy nesting!!!

so… we ended up putting the crib back under the window where we had it in the very beginning. it leaves more open space in the center of the room, which we think will be better.

we also got a new hanging lamp for the corner over the file cabinet, which brightens the room quite a bit without having to use the overhead light.

we have reclaimed gub’s art supply storage cart (really a shop tool cart) and will be using it as a changing table. we had to find a smaller changing table pad than the standard size, but it seems like it will work well and we can store diapers below and supplies in the drawer.

the new arrival will be sleeping in our room for a while in this cradle that’s been in gub’s family for over 40 years. her great aunt joanie originally bought it for her cousins and gub and her brother both used it when they were babies. gub’s mom refurbished it a bit and we’ve got it all set-up and waiting….
