mobile update

Well hello! I hope you all enjoyed your three day weekend (if you were lucky enough to have the day off of course!). Bryan did so we spent the day buying a new couch, hitting up Babies R Us for a few last minute essentials (7 days until my due date!) and just enjoying the sunshine. We also hung up the cloud mobile, woo hoo! I previously wrote about the making of the pieces here, and we were just trying to figure out a way to hang it. After discussing wires and plastic and wood and even hangers I came across this picture mobile at Target. A few of the reviews mentioned using it for their nursery and at $9.99 I couldn’t resist! I made a modification to the center clip, making it shorter than the rest, and eventually we may remove the clips all together and just use fishing line for a cleaner look, but for now it works perfectly!!

I had the felt and stuffing on hand, so all in all this mobile cost under $20 (including shipping since I couldn’t find the item at Target). Bryan drew out the cloud shape and I just free handed the sun. Super easy and once again we have a piece that is unique, not too “baby” and inexpensive. And I love that we can easily change out the pieces at any point. Maybe a plane or a moon… add a few rain drops… who knows!
