Doll house bookshelf

I saw a picture of this adorable little bookshelf made to look like a doll house. I thought it would be perfect for L's new room, so I put Mr. C to work again. Luckily this one only took about a week in-between finishing our bed and work.

I think part of the reason Mr. C likes building things for me is because he gets to buy fun tools to do it.

I just love the way it turned out and can't wait to put it in L's new room.

Master Bed

Ever since Mr. C and I married, we never got a "real" bed. We have our mattress and box spring just sitting on a metal frame. The furniture we picked out when we got married only came with a sleigh bed and it just seemed too big for our room. We have decided it was time for a bed and Mr. C wanted a project.

I love this bed from Pottery Barn! But it is a bit expensive. Mr. C thought he could make it for much less. He did make it for less, but it was still expensive and took a long time. Mr. C is a bit of a perfectionist and we had a couple accidents with both the head board and foot board falling over.

Clean up.

I have not been able to park in the garage for months!

I was so excited when Mr. C said he can put it together in our room.

C enjoyed putting it together too.

All that time my garage was taken up was SO worth it. It is beautiful!

I love it! It is our first adult bed, now Mr. C just has to make the night stands and dresser.

Quick Birthday Bag

It was crunch time! I had no time to sew lately and about 15 minutes before we had to leave to a birthday party. I still needed a bag for the present. We got the little girl school supplies, a wipe dry erase board, dry erase markers, pens, pads, paper, markers, crayons, etc. I wanted a little carrier for all of it.

I decided to go ahead and see what I had and this is what I came up with.

I had these two fabrics so I thought I would make a reversible bag.

Remember I said we had 15 minutes, can you tell in the picture? That's me going, "Wait, stop! Let me take a picture."

"Wait, don't go, let me see the bag. Wait! Don't move" (snap) "K, let's go!"

I know terrible pictures, but it's the only ones I have.
