Projects

I get these little ideas that pop into my head every now and again and find myself with a few projects. It depends though, I don't always have projects to do or do I want to have one. This time around I have thought of several and am trying to get them completed. First, I wanted to change Hailee's room a little. I have wanted to do this for some time and started to make the steps. I pulled her name off the wall and put paper on the letters with ribbon.
I completed this task, now to tackle the others for her room, I want to make or get a table with a couple of chairs. I want just the wood and I want to finish it with paint and decor. I also want to make a stool for her to stand on. She is all about standing on things to look outside or get something she can't quit reach. I want to make Hailee's room more of a big girl room. The next project that I have completed is my Valentine blocks.
These were easy, although I have learned not to use gorilla glue!!! I needed to glue the heart and Jimmy suggest gorilla glue, so I think ok no problem. I glue it on and put a heavy object on top, I come back to check it and it has foamed all out the sides onto the paper. I tried to wipe it off, all I have to say is it was not pretty. Jimmy says it looked fine no one could tell, but I can and if you know me I am just a little bit picky with the way things look and turn out!! Anywaya, that was fixable. I also found some way cute eyelet material, which brings me to my next project. I am so in love with the pillow case dresses, so I am attempting to make a cute spring dress for Hailee, and yes I said spring, I am done with winter now!! I haven't started this one quite yet, but will soon. So I have a little bit to keep me busy for a while and then maybe by then I will have thought of new ones!!
