It feels good to be able to check things off our to-do list, no matter how small, and I can finally say that Baby Kelley’s mobile is finished and ready for the nursery. When I decided on having a Blueberries for Sal themed nursery, I knew that meant I would have to DIY a lot to pull it off, since most people have never heard of the book, much less designed a nursery after it. Last fall I saw these cute felted black bear ornaments at the Country Living Fair and snatched three of them up for “someday.” I made the ring using some wire we had, wrapped it in white yarn, and added a white, grosgrain ruffle. The blueberries came off of Etsy and I attached them and the bears with fishing line. I toyed around with the idea of adding a pail, which is very true to the book, and Danny and my mom both thought it would be the perfect finishing touch. After a few different ideas, I decided to hang one in the center and hot glued the leftover blueberries inside. As always, I have to give Danny credit for helping me with the math part. He stepped in during my frustration, helping me figure out how to evenly space everything, and he will be helping again when it comes to hanging it, so it balances correctly in the crib. I must say I’d really be pretty helpless without him. I love it and can’t wait to have it hanging above the crib and out of Harvey’s reach.
The curious little guy really wants to eat the blueberries and enjoyed the multiple times blueberries went rolling across the floor while I was working. I think he is preparing me more than anything for the baby.
