the list revisted.

Things that have been completed or added to the original list appear in this color. 

The List.
Separated neatly into the following categories:
The Have-to's.
The Would-be-nice's.
The Dream-on you sweaty, swollen, puking mama's.


The Have To's: 

• Diapers (10 done out of 36 in total)
• Wipes (about half of a hoped for 60 done)
• Crib Sheets
• Change Pad cover 
• Crib Bumper (I know, I know... unsafe you irresponsible mama, but after seeing thislittle yellow beauty I couldn't resist and a steal of a deal on some yellow striped (which reminded me of this wedding that ultimately provided the whole color palate of the room, er... corner) and linen fabric at Value Village told me it was meant to be... even if it's just for a picture or two when it all finally comes together. Plus, it's done already. Sue me) 
• a pair or two of these sweet little shoes (I guess not really a have to but I already bought the pattern and to not use it now really would be a shame)
• Find, buy, and paint a secondhand dresser to double as a change table.(thanks to a lovely husband who finished this while I was away) 
• A wet bag. 

The Would Be Nice's:

• Birdies for a mobile something like this. I figure I need 10... Three are sewn. Two are stuffed and blindstitched. I hate blindstitching. (At least four more cut...)
• Some little jersey and bamboo wool hats. Our kids never fit the standard baby head size, so handmade it must be. (I found one bamboo wool hat kicking around in a pile of go-to gifts I like to keep for emergencies. This will likely be the only hat I make.)
• Artwork for the corner. There are some ideas mulling around in my head but my skills in execution when it comes to computer illustrations are iffy. We'll see how keen the husband is to help. Instead I've found a cute little owl for the wall and some paper lanterns for the ceiling and have decided to recycle art I already have kicking around the house... 

The Dream On's:

• A stack of smocks à la angry chicken. My dream would be a little girlie who wears a daily uniform of onsies, leggings, and smocks. She will need more than the one sitting half finished in a pile that was intended to be a present for another little girl months ago. All that bias tape and those tiny little arm holes plant this one firmly in the dream on category. (One smock, still waiting for a snap and some bias tape to finish the neck)
• A stack of bibs. Again, the thought of repeatedly preforming the 'right sides together, turn, press, topstitch' thing just isn't all that appealing. 
• A mommy made quilt. Seeing as I've only made one quilt before and it was less than stellar I will leave this for a time with more patience and more bend in my body.  Completely taken off the list, in favor of a duvet cover for the baby duvet I already have and won't even think about actually using on the baby for a year or two.
