The Bedding Has Arrived!!

Sunday - Here's the bedding.  Isn't it cute?!  The green fabric looks a bit yellow in this picture, but maybe that's because of the bright red wall in the background.  :) Thanks, Mom!  I love it!!

My bedding arrived today!! I had it shipped to my office so that I could open it as soon as it arrived. It is PERFECT!! I can't wait to get home and take lots of pictures. I'll be sure to post them this weekend for all to see.
I had REALLY high expectations because my mom has done such a fabulous job on my sisters-in-law's bedding, but this totally exceeded my expectations!! Can you tell how excited I am? Now it's really on - the nursery is officially under construction!

I have reorganized and stored everything to maximize space in our little condo. The only thing left is to get rid of the cheap crib we bought on Craigslist. We knew it wasn't our dream crib (although it is pretty cute), but it was only $25 - who could resist? We bought it thinking that it could either: suddenly become our dream crib, we could sell it (for much more than $25), or we could gift it to my mother-in-law. Well, only one of those options has panned out, so we plan to post the crib on Craigslist this weekend. Now all we need is a "real" crib and some paint in the nursery and...

(pictures coming soon)

I didn't get to see the bedding before Mom wrapped it up in a box! I was here when they were boxing it up--I should have stolen a quick peek at it.

You brought up something interesting. When you said sisters-in-law's bedding, I was wondering, would it be sisters'-in-law bedding? Isn't that funky? I know you're a grammar guru, so I thought I'd run it by you (others would make fun of me if I brought it up).

I actually published it the first time as sisters'-in-law bedding, but then settled on sisters-in-law's bedding... I'm not really sure, but it's been bugging me since I posted it.
Maybe I should just say, "the bedding of my sisters-in-law".

Jordan said...

Nope. I've decided that it's definitely sisters'-in-law. I'll change it back. Thanks for keeping me honest! Now I'm embarassed that I ever changed it to sisters-in-law's in the first place. What has become of me?

Katy said...

Psh. Now I think it's sisters-in-law's because you still say sister-in-law's such and such. Whatever! No one will ever know except the crazy person who invented English.

My thoughts exactly!

LOVE IT! SO CUTE! So, when I have a kid can I hire your mom to make my bedding as well? She did SUCH a good job!

Pierce and Stacy said...

I can't believe your mom made all that beautiful bedding! She should go into business with her talents. :) I'm excited to see how the nursery comes along.

Missy said...

Wow, your mom is so good! But I saw what she made for Erin and it was amazing so I'm not surprised! He's going to have one cute nursery!

Kendria said...

I love it! That is too cute! Baby Parks will love it... Sisters-in-law's if it is more than one sister-in-law... Sister-in-law's if it is just one! Because technically, it is one word right? You tell me! Cute bedding anyway!
