My nephew Ben made this awesome nightstand/bookshelf for Henry's nursery. It's perfect for all the little board books in Henry's library!
The design is based on a piece of furniture I found on the Target website. Ben had only a single picture to guide him on the design, and it turned out exactly the way I hoped it would. Awesome job, Ben! And thanks also to another nephew, Mitchell, for lending Ben a hand. There are some very talented guys on Matt's side of the family!
Speaking of guys, I recently realized that I'm way outnumbered at home. Here are Matt, Henry and Otto napping together while I started on a sewing project.
The sewing project is Simplicity 8125 (in the shower curtain fabric with ORANGE for the reverse). I abandoned my plan to start with wrap skirts because I've already lost most of the baby weight. Today I am wearing pre-pregnancy jeans, comfortably, with only a tiny bit of tummy pooch and muffin top. Woohoo! Hooray for breastfeeding and long walks at the botanical garden!

Ben is worth cloning.
That is a great piece!
I just love the stand for the books. We are really into books since we homeschool, and I am always looking for places to put them. We have eight bookcases, and still have books stacked on the floor. I do the same thing with books that I do with patterns: buy too many and don't know when to stop. I guess you call that an obsession.
That's awesome that you've already lost most of the baby weight. Walks and breast feeding will definitely do it. I can attest to that. My baby is now 15 months, and I'm down to where I was before pregnancy; and this is my fifth. I take lots of walks and breast feed.
Your baby looks so precious all bundled up and sleeping with Daddy.

What a sweet picture of the three of them!
All the boys.... I guess you're outnumbered by one more now ;)
