working against me

well, i feel like i've been given blow after blow with my nursery room projects. i am just about to the point of giving up.

the craigslist crib we bought is pretty much impossible to re-stain. it needs a dye-stain which is hard to find, too toxic to use ourselves, and too expensive to buy anyway.

i screwed up the curtain. i still haven't gotten up the guts to try and finish it with the pathetic attempts i've been making at fixing it.

i screwed up the blanket. the 'fix-it' i came up with is WAY beyond my skill level, apparently.

i know there were some errors on the dust ruffle, but i have yet to see just how it fits given the crib is in above-said disastrous condition and still in parts.

the crib bumpers seem to be coming along fine so far. a little more squished than i had intended, but they look fine. and the pillows came out great. so those are my only shining stars right about now.

i feel like all i am doing is wasting the money i was trying to save us. and my pregnancy hormones are not helping right now. what was i thinking getting into this?!
