Cam's Room
It isn't often that I get to blog about something here and on my kid blog, but I took some photos of Cam's room today, since it was looking nice and neat, and thought I would post them here too. The photos didn't turn out that great, and I am not very good at fixing them, my apologies. And yes, I do realize that the same people who read this blog read the other blog, but I can post bigger photos on this one, so you have to indulge me...
The walls really aren't this yellow, they seems brighter in the photos. This was the colour when we got here, we never did get around to painting when we moved in!
The mobile is a photo clip mobile with all of the cranes Karen made for Will's baby shower.
The wonderful Expedit shelf from Ikea - so versatile.
After much searching, I made this alphabet print, as well as the Cameron hippo print. The clouds are just scrapbook paper from Michael's.
This is a movie poster for the Czech version of Damn Cat (never heard of it) that I found online.
I actually made this bunny in grade 8 Home Ec. It originally wore a dress and matching bloomers! I think I like it better as a boy. :)
Alphabet Art
There are so many beautiful alphabet prints for kids rooms and play rooms, and trust me, when I was preggo with Cameron and envisioning his room I looked at most of them! I really liked the one above from Orange Ink on Etsy, and here are a few more that caught my eye:
This one is a gorgeous wood cut from Toronto's own Bookhou, which has a store online and on Dundas West. I love that it is 3-D, not a poster. They have amazing kids stuff. But at $50 it was a bit steep.
This one is from Petit Collage ($50 USD!)
This screen-printed poster by Blinth is inspired by mid-century modern wooden toys, so you know I love it. It is $85 USD unframed.
This one is actually one of my favourite ones, from WestWillow on Etsy, and is only $15!
After looking at them all for a while though, they really didn't look that complicated to do, so I made up this one in word using the colours I wanted, and am hoping that Dan or Yara can help me figure out how to print it...
What do you think? Should I quit my day job? :)
A couple of other round-ups of alphabet posters can be found on Design*Sponge, and of course Ohdeedoh.
Done my scarf!
I just finished my latest neck warmer! It is a little longer than I would have liked, but it makes me very happy none-the-less. Not bad for a non-knitter. :) It is a herringbone stitch, and I got the pattern here.
It didn't take that long, especially considering I have spent the last two days with a very miserable little boy. You should make one too!

Here are a few more I liked:
What type are you?
It is a wonderful quiz, especially if you are at all interested in fonts and graphic design. I highly recommend you take a peek - it is only four questions.
Turns out I am Marina Script, which I do enjoy. Here is the the link to the quiz (the password is 'character'), and here is some more Marina for your enjoyment, and mine!
