It has been, oh, 2 years since I have had the time or need to reupholster a piece of furniture. But now the girls’ room needs a cozy chair to cuddle in and read books, so I scoured Craigslist to find some sort of armchair in need of some TLC.

Let me tell you, in Arkansas (at least in my experience) it was really hard to find a chair with decent lines! but I finally lucked out with this lovely 1960’s low profile lounge chair. Sure, the fabric is in really bad shape (the previous owner had paid a bundle to have it recovered, only to have their pet destroy the fabric).

I am planning on recovering this in a heavy weight lemon colored fabric. No pattern, as the girls’ room already has a large chevron rug, so I don’t want the room to be too busy.

I have less than 2 months until Lucy arrives, so *hopefully* I will have this project completed within a few weeks time and share the results with you!

Wish me luck 🙂

So I have been thinking a lot about what to bring to the hospital when I deliver Lucy. The last go around with Violet, I literally packed a change of clothes and that was it!

Recently, someone suggested that I should bring my own pillow for comfort, but be sure to get a snazzy pillowcase so that it doesn’t get mixed in with the hospital’s supply. That’s when I turned to Etsy to find the prettiest vintage pillowcase!

I found this one from seller ErikawithaK. I LOVE how sweet the floral print is.

After Lucy is born, I want to make her a little dress or skirt from the fabric. I think it will be a special reminder of the the day she was born 😉

What do you think of that idea?

Hello 31 Weeks. Surprisingly, I feel better physically this week than I have in about a month! Lucy is currently wedged behind my ribs, doing a happy dance, baking for a few more weeks 🙂

I Really am happy for the fall weather, because I can still wear some loose dresses and throw on some tights and boots! I’ve had this dress FOREVER and it seems to grow and shrink along with my body.

Love you, floral target dress.

I am trying to be a pensive expectant mom in this photo. I was probably thinking about cloth diapers. That’s right. We registered yesterday at a local shop for a stash of cloth diapers, and I am a little intimidated by the sheer prospect of using cloth diapers.

But, my mom used cloth on me, and lots of my friends do. And it will save tons of money. So wish me luck!

9 weeks to go!

Mama Mia! Lucy and I are hungry for some pasta 😉 Okay, enough cheese…. but seriously, all can think about is a giant fork wrapped in spaghetti noodles dipped in a rich creamy sauce…..

Pasta was my go do pregnancy food when I was carrying Violet. Seriously, I would wake up at 5 AM and caramelize some onions, reduce a white wine cream sauce, and indulge in some whole wheat pasta goodness.

Howdy! I completely missed last week’s pregnancy photos, but since I am now 30 weeks, I am going to try to post one every week (for my own records).

As you can see, I am looking mighty pregnant. Believe it or not, I can still fit into 2 pairs of my pre-pregnancy jeans, but none of my old tops! I feel really really big. But my midwife tells me I am looking good, so I am going to believe her 🙂

Anyways, I got a nice report from my midwife that ALL of the pregnancy concerns that they had for me and the baby have cleared up, so it is smooth sailing from here on out!

That’s all,

Stacie
