sweet new art

Awhile back I wrote a piece on ReFormed Art Cubes after spotting them online. The artist Amanda kindly offered to make me something for our house as a gift. I'm sentimental, and like to keep a lot of things, so I thought that Oscar's "take home" outfit from the hospital would be perfect.

And close up...

Isn't it a beautiful piece? She put his birthday on the piece. It's subtle, and oh-so-perfect. To see the little guy wearing it the day he was born, click on Read More. :)

little changes

A lot of little changes are happening around here, some DIY projects in the studio/basement are coming together, but aren't yet complete. But another change that I have yet to tell you about is that Oscar has been out of his crib for some time now. Crib is gone, and he is on his own little mattress on the floor in his room. But here is the funny thing....he actually never slept in the crib. He always slept with me. I hadn't intended to be a co-sleeping family but it just worked out that way.

Sunday Afternoon

It's a quiet Sunday. Aubrey is at work, Oscar is napping beside me. There is a blanket of snow outside, and beautiful light shining through the windows. As I walked upstairs today with Oscar, I thought to myself, that I really, really love his room. And seeing this room as you walk up the stairs is a perfect scene. I simply adore the bunting flags.

On the topic of his nursery, Oscar's room was featured in a roundup of rooms that had Sharon Montrose photos over on Ohdeedoh. There was a cranky commenter over there. Not sure if you agree with them. I certainly don't! ;)
