Call me a bird, because I'm nesting!

Yesterday was my comps to begin concluding graduate school. Never in my life have I been so stressed about a test. Seriously, who do they think they are helping? Results should be back in a little less than a month. I think I did okay, but who knows really? I loathe tests. 

With all the test preparation, the build-up to redecorate my house and finish the nursery has been KILLING me! Brian has blamed my intent to redecorate, finish the nursery, clean out the closets, and declutter altogether on nesting. At first I denied it, but the more I think about it, the more I think he's right.

Here are some projects I am looking forward to now that I am free from test anxiety!

A magnet board
I love the galvanized metal look and am dying to use it SOMEWHERE in the house. I am hoping for a bit of a thicker frame, but all in all, you get the idea.  I found this one at Seed Pod Craft. It gives awesome directions!

Alphabet and number painting
I can't get enough of this letter / number combo! I plan to put something similar in the nursery, but think I am going to change the colors to match the bedding. So perfect!

A monogram for above the crib
I linked this because there are so many different looks that I like, I could not post just one. I know I will use three canvases and the colors will match the bedding. Beyond that, I'm clueless.... and indecisive!

I am also anxious to start shopping for nursery rugs. I love this look, but not necessarily the price. Rugs can be so expensive!

Finally, I have been completely distracted by these...

How precious is this picture? I can't wait to see Emily Ann's adorable toes. And I might just try to take a similar picture :) Such a great polish color!

I am picturing hairbows, accents on paintings, magnets for my new metal magnet board... The possibilities are endless!

What summer projects are YOU working on?
Have a fabulous evening!

  2. Those tests are the worst! I just took one at the beginning of the month for my Media Specialist Endorsement and I'm hoping I pass because I don't want to take it again! Good luck with your projects!
