Hang....

And then there was bunting....

I'm quite sure it's illegal to decorate a nursery these days and not include bunting.  And who am I to rock the boat?!  I've made a couple of metres and have cut enough to make twice as much again.  It's great to get back on the sewing machine - it's been a while!

Settle Down....

Ok, it's not often (or ever) that I talk about music at the sunday project, but I am loving this song by Melbourne lady Kimbra.  And the video is pretty sweet too.  Plus, I dance kind of like Kimbra, and get a lot of laughs from my friends for it, so it's nice to see someone else pull it off (though with slightly more finesse and a kick-arse dress).

Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Nesting?....

Well no, I don't think I am nesting yet, but I am trying to get some things done around the house before Pikelette arrives.  One area in which we're lacking is bedroom storage, so I was super happy to find this fantastic dresser on ebay recently.  It needed a bit of a clean up, so I followed these brilliant instructions from The Brick House (also seen on design*sponge) and I think it's come up a treat.  Not having the same American products as recommended, I instead used a regular household cleaner (suitable for wood), delicious orange oil, and then some furniture wax.

Hmm, this photo makes me realise how stark the bedroom is without any art on the walls.  Plus, I need to make proper curtains (and stop putting up with some fabric stapled up!).

And yes, that is a bear on the bed.  Don't judge me!
