Avery's Crib!!!!

When Avery was born I conjured up this idea for her bedding. I would tell Mike about how I wanted it and he thought I was crazy, especially when I told him I wanted the crib black. I didn't really know how to go about making/designing the bedding I wanted but remembered I had some talented people in my family who could all help (it took me 6 months to remember that). So when I visited Oklahoma I put my family to work! My mom helped me choose the fabric and all the necessary tools needed, Kiara, Abby, and Lexi helped me cut lots of little circles for the flowers and Alisha helped me place all the different flowers and told me I needed stems (I am grateful that she is so dang crafty and can vision these things because I lack that totally). So by the time I left Oklahoma I had the easy stuff done (or the stuff that I could do with minimal help). Then it came time to sew those bad boy bumpers together and I knew that I would screw it up so my m-i-l Marilyn came to the rescue! She was so great and fixed everything and and sewed those puppies in like a day. Amazing! The bumpers then made their way to Utah and were in Salt Lake for a couple weeks and I couldn't stand it (Our dear friend Jeris forgot them a couple of times... poor guy)! So while I waited I painted the crib (Grandma helped even though she told me I was dumb for painting it black... gotta love that woman!), and made the crib skirt and the padding inserts on the end. I finally got it all put together and LOVE it. More than LOVE it. Now we have to clean up all the extras in her room (like Michael's bike, golf clubs etc.) and hang all the pictures, signs, and other decorations we have. I post the finished product but here is the best part! Avery really liked the flowers and just sat and played with them forever.
She LOVES her crib too!
Like really really LOVES it. Doesn't that smile say it all!
