Since it’s a boy, we’ve decided to go with a blue, white, black, and brown sheep theme.

We had some time to ourselves today, so I began researching and organising things for a sheep themed nursery.

Last night I researched sheep mobiles and found that they were at least $80 on ebay, and none on gumtree, so I asked around if someone could make us a sheep and cloud mobile, and a friend of a friend is willing to make us one for material costs, which is excellent. I’ve set a budget for this at about $30

Today I asked a crafty vocal student of mine if she would make us some crocheted sheep to put on a cot and bassinet blanket, and she agreed. I’m really thankful for this, as the cot set I was looking at seems impractical, and was around $200!!!

This is what she’ll try to replicate I think;

Today I spent about 3 hours making clothing tags for his nursery. We decided to personalize them with his name, so it’s pretty much set in stone now – unless he turns out to be a she 😛
