i can't help it. inspiration is pouring out of me. and i think i've decided to make my own crib bumper for the little lady's room. i am so bored by the prepackaged options in the stores. pink/purple hearts and butterflies just aren't cutting it. i found a tutorial at vanilla joy that is quite detailed and helpful - making me believe i may actually be able to pull it off for a fraction of the cost i'd pay to have someone make me a custom crib bedding set.
i'm totally terrified and electrified with excitement at the same time. if i can find the fabric i've dreamed up in my mind and am praying exists somewhere (as usual with me, 'i'll know it when i see it'), maybe i can start and/or complete the project while visiting my grandma in february. this kind of a project just seems like it might be more fun with a pro watching from the wings in case a crisis arises. ;)

OOOH.....I am so excited for you! You are amazing and it will turn out great!
You can make the bumper pads, Sarah. I made the ones we used in Alison's crib. I think I just measured some at the store and then tried to recreate them. I remember using double thickness of batting so they would really be firm and not droopy.
