Getting Creative!

So ive been quite inspired recently. I've decided that as im officially a SAHM (stay at home mum) i have no excuse not to be creative and makes some things for bub and her room. These days parents don't tend to have the time or necessity to make things like they used to. Well i don't want to be one of those parents. Im also starting to get Harlow's nursery up and running. Up until now it's been a junk storage/office/linen cupboard type room. So my first mission is to get an actual cot. I was intending to splash out on an expensive nursery package but im thinking that my money might be spent and spread elsewhere. I've been perusing through Gumtree and Ebay looking for inspiration. 


I've decided on a white cot so it doesn't clash with a timber set of drawers. Save me the hassle of matching timber etc. From there im going to attempt a quilt and some curtains for her room. And if im feeling very adventurous i might attempt some other bits and pieces for her room. One thing at a time obviously. I should also note i am supposed to be studying during this time and at some point i should be going back to work. My car is going to die in the next 12 months i feel so need to have a bit of extra cash so i can upgrade.


So once the nursery is set up i'll transfer all of her baby things out of my room and put my desk etc where her bassinett is.


Also on the agenda is upgrading Harlow's capsule. She's nearly outgrown it and is really uncomfortable in it. I can't go anywhere without her crying the whole way unless she's completely asleep! So tomorrow where off to the hire place to switch up to something else. In a few months the lease will end and i'll need to buy one anyway im just not sure which one. Safe n Sound have recently upgraded a few of their models and introduced a few others. They all look excellent but im betting non of them actually fit in my car! These are the ones i like:

The new Compaq

The new Guardian

and the good old AHR - Adjust and Tilt

I do know that the hire place hire's out the old compaq and the AHR so i was hoping to get one of those to try out in the meantime to give me an idea of what they're like....plus who doesn't like a good old "try before you buy"?

So tomorrow we'll be off to the hire place to see what we can do. Although a lot is weighing on the fact that any of these models will actually fit in my car!

I am also toying with the idea of an organic baby skin care range, but thats all top secret atm so when i actually have something to say i'll be sure to say it here!

good night all
