I've been pulling out the baby gear from storage the last little while (and remembering the insane number of C and D size batteries all these gadgets take!) in preparation for our little man's arrival. We went with gender neutral prints for pretty much everything (the 1-2-3 Tea for Me Exersaucer was the exception, but I bought it in a moment of weakness when our daughter was 5 months old, cutting her first teeth and hubby was on a business trip to China).
Our carseat from last time around is still good - you know that carseats 'expire' like sour milk, right? I decided to whip up a simple car seat canopy to keep the sun, rain, and germy strangers' hands off the kiddo. I would use a receiving blanket over the seat last time, but this looks so much cuter. I used the same fabrics I bought for his baby quilt (which is nearly finished as well - stay tuned!!).
The project turned out to be really simple. The finished canopy is about 35x40 inches, and I used the interior print to make the handlebar attachments, which fasten with velcro. It only took a couple hours to put together.
The nursery is almost finished - once we've got everything ready, I'll post some pictures.
