A Few Finished Baby Projects.

Though I received a lot of positive feedback on my post about the plan to "avoid pink," I think my post confused a lot of people. To this day I still have people say things like, "Oh, but you don't like pink," or "Why did you buy that? It has pink in it." I've pinned pink things on Pinterest and posted pink things on Facebook and immediately people point out the obvious fact that the item is pink. I've been told that our little girl will look un-feminine and I've even had pink-loving moms become take offense because they love to dress their girls in pink. Please let me be clear: my post was never meant to attack anyone who loves pink. I simply don't prefer it. It cracks me up because I made sure to mention the fact that our little girl WILL wear pink, it's just that I am purposefully going out of my way to buy other colors too. I have different taste than most people, so naturally, how I choose to decorate her nursery or dress her up will follow suit. She will still be feminine and if down the road, she decides she loves pink then I will be all about it too. I honestly didn't think my post would be an issue (nor did I intend for it to be...it was just supposed to be a fun share) but I just had to type this all out to clarify what I meant and to ensure that I hopefully won't hear about it again haha. All this to say, I've been finding creative ways to personalize Baby Girl's things and break away from the traditional go-to color. Pinterest has once again come to my aid to help me find all sorts of tutorials and neat projects. Here are three projects I recently finished... (And hey! -- they incorporate some pink!)I found this green Peg Perego carseat  for FREE. It's in great condition and looks like it was used maybe once! For those of you who don't know the brand, these carseats range from $200-$300 so it was a huge blessing to stumble upon it the way I did. Although green is techinically a neutral color in baby world, I wanted to girly it up a bit to ensure that no one mistakes her for a boy. I used a vintage flat sheet I bought at a thriftstore ($2) and followed this tutorial. My only other costs were the underneath fabric ($4) and the velcro ($1.50.)I've been collecting white onesies that I find for free here and there. I used some leftover fabric dye I have here at home and mixed up the colors to see what I could come up with. I'm still debating whether or not I will use a bleach pen and add some design (inspiration here) or if I will just leave them as is. As you can see, there are various shades of pink which is keeping away from the typical hot pink and light pink you see at the stores. I love that they are all more earthy tones. Total cost? FREE!I also used the remainder of that vintage flat sheet I had and made her a fitted crib sheet (tutorial here.) This picture makes it look really busy but I know once it is flat in her crib it won't be as distracting. I love that it keeps with the bohemian themes I'm shooting for and am excited for the moment I get to place it in her crib along with all her other things I've gathered. The only additional cost I had was the elastic and that was $1.80.I still have a few other DIY projects I may or may not try to tackle...DIY baby bloomers, bibs, a feather mobile, homemade gauze blankets, fabric rattles, and cute diaper pouches. We'll see how far I get. Do you have any baby related DIY projects that you recommend? Comment below and let me know. I'd love some more inspiration!
