Decorative Baby Proofing

Now that Aubrey is super mobile and crawling all over the place, she's been obsessed with our cable box which is on a shelf in our TV stand, here.

So a tension rod and some cute fabric later I came up with this.  A cable box curtain.  She watched me as I put it on and it was like she was thinking, you dummy mom I'm going to have that figured out in a second and I'll just pull it up and play with the cable box.  Well she has only messed with it twice since I put it up and it's been up for a few days now.  I used to have to constantly pull her away from it when I would put her down so this is a major improvement.

Since I had some leftover fabric, I decided to make some pillows with some felt flowers on them and I think they turned out pretty cute.

 On a side note, I don't know if I ever mentioned my AMAZING deal I got on that TV stand.  I got it the week before we had Aubrey and it was a floor model at Walmart.  There was no price tag on it so after about an hour of waiting for all the workers to figure out how much it was a manager in the back that didn't see it told the workers just to see if I would pay $30 for it.  I looked at the lady like she was crazy and said uhhh yeah I'll take it for 30.  All the stock boys were mad and they wanted to pay that much for it.  I was 9 months pregnant but still about to take it out to the truck myself before the manager came out and realized what a big mistake he made.  Luckily the mad stock boys carried it out to my truck where I tied it down and took it down like a prize trophy.  I was soooo excited to show Kyle when I got home and to top it all off we looked online and it was a $200 TV stand.  So not every day do I get to stick it to Walmart, but that day I did!
