McKinley's Rockin Rocking Chair & Other Cute Stuff

 My parents gave this to McKinley for Christmas.  I love it!  My mom got a plain wood rocking chair at Michael's for 60% off and painted it white to match the rest of her nursery and made that adorable flower petal cushion to go along with her garden room.

 I love it.  McKinley also got this cute pillow made by my Grandma...

 It says,"Like star dust glistening on fairies wings little girls are made of magical things".  The back has this fun, shimmery fabric.  The pillow fits perfectly on her chair.

Another fun touch my mom added to the chair is one of those tiny musical button things (I don't know what they're called), you know the kind that is put in stuffed animals.  She glued it under the arm rest so Kin has herself a secret music button.  She hasn't quite figured it out yet because the button is so small and kind of hidden but whenever she hears the music she does a little dance too it.

 Here she is modeling the Christmas pajamas I made her while she reads some sort of fascinating story.  I think she loves the new seat.  I wish you all could hear her jabber like crazy while she's "reading".  If only I knew what she was saying.

Matt's mom made Kin an adorable, squishable, bunny blanket.

 McKinley loves to hug it.  She thinks it's a baby and packs it around.

 Thanks for all the adorable gifts!  I'll be back tomorrow to show you some other good stuff!

McKinley's Nursery

I had to show some pictures of McKinley's cute nursery. My wonderful, amazing, creative, and talented mom and sister came and spent a week with me and pretty much did the entire thing! Thanks Mom and Shannon!

My mom and sister made all of the bedding.

They even made this quilt. I love the flowers. You can't tell by these pictures but they're 3d.

They made the curtains as well. One of my small contributions to decorating the room is I and my mom did the "M" canvas with leftover pieces of fabric from her bedding.

They are so creative! The picket fence wasn't a shelf before, they had Matt screw a piece of particle board on and it became a shelf! My 11 year old brother even contributed to decorating. He cut out the flower book ends. I made the "dream" picture that's sitting on the shelf a couple of years ago when I wanted to learn to embroider and it just happened to match. How convenient!

I had to get a close up of these metal birds my mom found, I love them. My mom also made the basket liner and the pink flower arrangement. My sister and I mod podged scrapbook paper onto the picture frames on both the dresser and the shelf.


They even helped me finish up other projects that I started years ago. I originally started making this quilt for my niece before she was born who is now 2 1/2! How lazy am I? Oh well, McKinley will appreciate having this.


I bought this frame and painted it green with the leftover wall paint and I'm going to hang it with ribbon on the other side of the room between the closet and door that you can't see.


And of course I had to post a picture of the star of the room! She's so stinkin cute! I love her!
The only thing left I want to do to the nursery is find some cute saying to put on vinyl decal in brown or white onto the striped wall above the window. Something about birds or flowers maybe? I don't know. Any ideas?
