Boy mode.

First of all - do you like the new look??  I'm loving this color scheme of orange and blue right now.  But I change my mind often, so don't be surprised if it looks different again in a few weeks. :-)


I need to get my brain into boy mode.  For my whole life, I've never need to think in terms of boy colors or boyish things - and now that we're having a BOY I need to forget the pinks and purples and figure out how to decorate for my little man.


One of the first things I want to make for this guy is a quilt.  I have never made a quilt, but have done a bit of sewing in my day, and I have found some patterns that look super quick and easy (which is exactly what I need).  I have been looking through fabrics to find some boyish colors and I'm LOVING the grey, orange, aqua color scheme.  So - rough draft, here are some fabric options.




It is hard to find non-girly patterns.  There is a lot of paisley, floral, and just cutesy stuff.  It is pretty much polka-dots and animals for boys.  I'll have to keep looking, but I am liking this color scheme for a quilt.  We'll see!!  But I'll have to get working on it soon, I think!! :-)
