We are Fingerprinted

Turns out they don't use ink any more, just water, a glass plate, an imager and a computer. Pretty cool. We are in the system now so we better stay on the right side of the law! Hopefully we will now get our I71H within a month.

Celebrated by buying this Maclaren Stroller:
And this crib set:




I also bought a whole bunch of Chinese paper lanterns. I came up with a lighting installation design idea where I cluster them like grapes. Should be cool I think and visually interesting. I bought all of the colors in the crib set: in brights--fuschia, mango, golden yellow, and also chartreuse, turquoise.

Recall that my design inspiration is a bold graphic fabric I purchased in high school. I actually purchased it because one of my friend's mom had a color combo like the one above in paint and fabric in her kitchen. I really liked it, it was "mod", and when I saw the fabric that was similar I grabbed it and used it in my dorm room (my dorm room was totally happening!). And you know what? I still love that fabric and the combo. So I figure if I still like it, I won't stop liking it any time soon, and hopefully baby girl will like it too!

I've been stripping the wall paper in baby girl's bathroom, not fun but not hard. I hope to finish this weekend. Then John will repair the walls a bit and I will paint. This nesting is so much easier to do without a baby on board!
