Hey, Look What I Can Do!

With a lot of tape, gianormous amounts of patience, and a great husband here is what has been accomplished as of today in Kiddo's room.

After a rocky start of JUST working freehand, I migrated to making tape lines again to help make the edges of the triangles better. The first set of bushes will be complete tomorrow (ok, not with the black outline, but there will be no more triangles to paint)! Next to the shrub is the first question block with its first coat of paint. It will need several coats, but I like the color so far. Aaron painted all of the blocks in the photos below too.

Here are a few more of our blocks, painted orangey-yellow and red. They'll need second and perhaps third coats of paint to ensure coverage.

Here is the large set of bushes, aka. "the forest." It's half complete and I plan on finishing the rest of the triangles tomorrow so I can work on the black lines on Friday. No progress on the warp pipe; that will have to wait until I get the bushes done.

First coat of paint up on some of the floating blocks thanks to Daddy!

You can see the red block just by the door and the second warp pipe that I added yesterday. The one coming out of the vent will have the piranha plant coming down from it.

Other new, but not very visible additions to the nursery are several small shrubs and the clouds. They are just pencil now, until I can get some of the other work done; plus, I don't have the paint for them yet, though I DO have plenty of green with which to work!

I hope this satisfies your need to know how things are going at the moment. Aaron felt Kiddo kick again and my small, precious tormentor has decided that Momma's not a Momma without heartburn, so I'm growing accustomed to the taste of chalk (aka. mint flavored Tums). Next week brings the doctor's appointment with the glucose test, so keep your fingers crossed that I am sans GD! More updates to come!
