Waves of creativity
We went into a super expensive store in Canmore a few weeks ago and I found a little sweater tank top deal that I loved for $140. No thank you. But I thought, I could make that. So I went to the thrift store and got this lovely sweater for $5. This was the outcome:
I am quite happy with the result and I can’t tell you how fun it was to cut the mamoth sweater into bits. It was really quite theraputic.
We are five months pregnant, so I have been trying to use what I have for clothes and alter here and there as not to buy a totally new wardrobe. I have been really fortunate to have some good friends lend me some things as well.
I saw a beautiful mobile on this website and I thought I would try it out for our new little one. I love it because it doesn’t look like a Winnie the Pooh mobile, but it is still interesting and I think our little babe will like looking at it. I tried to use more manly colors for the birds (since we are having another little man). I found this drift wood on our camping trip this summer and I have been saving it for this occasion.
I have to get some hooks to put it all together and hang it up.

I love that idea for a mobile (and that you fashioned your own version!) We were given a disney mobile, which lasted about a month in our thrifted vintage-style nursery. We don’t buy character toys/ products, but we have somehow been handed down enough winnie the pooh clothes for an item a week. Congrats on the soon to be new little one!
