OK, maybe not a failure but I'm definitely a little slow. We went over to say hi to our neighbors earlier this evening and I had no idea what great taste they had. Their whole place is totally set up--curtains on every window, photos and artwork on the walls, accessories--and it looks fantastic. They've been in their place at least six months less than us and their place is so much more put together than ours.
And it turns out Becky is super crafty! They're having a baby in a couple of weeks and we got to take a look at their nursery. She made the artwork and the mobile in the room--they were amazing. The artwork were three large canvases, maybe 3' square, and she had freehand drawn animals onto them and painted them onto bright backgrounds. The first was a mother and baby giraffe, the second was an elephant (can't remember if that was mother and baby too), and the third was a mother and baby penguin. They were seriously awesome. And the mobile was so elaborite--lots of ribbon, painted wood squares, swirly patterns--just so, so cool! I had no idea she had such skills! I was totally impressed and jealous.
I just can't believe how far they've taken their place (they even painted literally every room in the place) and how much further behind we are. *sigh* someday we'll get there.

No worries. You'll get there. If not, you can always ask her for help! ;) Or at least to give you pointers. :)
whatever! we moved in almost 4 years ago and we still haven't finished unpacking. so far, our plans for nursery "decorating" are:
1) moving out brian's desk
2) putting in a crib or something
Haha, lag2, you crack me up! You forgot the part where you're going to frame the baby blanket I made you and hang it up (seeing as it's probably too small even for a baby to use :P).
