More Jolie projects

Let me apologize for the quality of my photos--I always have my phone with me though and I'm usually too lazy to grab my camera! Plus I'm kind of researching getting a nice SLR camera and wanting to learn to take super awesome pictures, but that's a dream for another day...

So here are some other Jolie projects I've been working on lately. Here's Jolie's room. This is the entry way to her room. I got these letters off of Etsy and they match her bedding. My mom hung them up all cool-ified! Then we found a cute purple dragonfly awhile ago; it's by the 'j' if you can't see it. I took this picture at night so the lighting was kind of weird. Love it!

We got a new frame (50% off at Hobby Lobby--woo hoo) and Josh hung up a Tom Everhart Snoopy print. Then I ordered some vinyl wall thingys from Etsy as well in purple and lime green. And I randomly stuck them all over--and might have finished this very quietly white Jolie was napping! :)


Next up, Jolie's toes. I had this nice little dream that maybe for her first birthday I would take her to get a little baby pedicure. I am so glad I didn't waste my time and money with that! Instead I tried to simply paint her toes myself. Holy wiggly toes! At first I painted them while she was in the high chair thinking she didn't really do much with her feet while eating...WRONG! Apparently she kicks all over! I think we had polish spots over her ankles! But I got the basics done anyway. Then I had to touch ups while she was napping one day. Have you ever tried to dab a little polish on a baby's toes while they are sleeping in a low crib that you can barely reach! What a chore! But they turned out decent enough. Every time Jolie sees her toes now, she loves grabbing them and even tried to put them in her mouth. Even trying to take a picture of her toes was difficult! Good grief.


Maybe we'll save the pedicure for when she can hold her feet still for a minute or so!
