At days shy of 5 months (how did that happen so fast?), we finally have Meara out of her cradle and into her crib. She absolutely loves her crib. Probably because now, she can roll around and it is a lot comfier to be on a mattress than that thin cradle pad.

| The Skip Hop Complete Sheet |
I needed sheets for the crib, and after deciding I didn't have appropriate materials on hand I came across the beautiful
Complete Sheet by Skip Hop and thought, "I want to do that." Me, being me, I decided that she needs a nice matching bedding set. So of course, I have fallen in love with a nice set of coordinating designer fabrics, the
Michael Miller Norwegian Woods Collection. I have ordered four 1 1/2 yard lengths from Etsy seller
Spiceberry Cottage for a pretty good price and I have at least designed in my mind what I will be doing.

Today's post is more a list of links and inspirations and a telling of my plan. This will be a series of posts as I put my crib set together but I have a feeling I will be posting the tutorials with an increased frequency (weekly, rather than biweekly) because I am just to darn excited for this.
I have decided not to make a bumper pad as I find them unnecessary, they are a SIDS risk, and after a while they become a climbing hazard. So meh to bumper pads, I will be sewing a sheet, crib blanket lined with minky, and a crib skirt (possibly pleated).
Details after the break...
