It has been awhile - 6 months ! My life got chaotic and is now quieting down a bit. I have been working on a couple projects since the spring (May). I have made Little Lady a couple twirl skirts for the summer, and a pretty, puffy dress also. She has a thing for dresses, which made its apparence when the weather started to get warm. Here is a little conversation between my mother, myself, and Layna's two cents:
Me: "she has a thing for dresses. she loves them"
My Mom: "I don't know where you (Layna) got it from"
Layna: "my closet."
She is right, but neither my mother nor myself wear dresses on a regular day basis. As girly as she is in her dresses, she LOVES playing in the dirt ! Anyways, so I have been making her a couple dresses and skirts along with her little best friend Miss Aislyn. Even though they are the same age, Layna is into 3T and Aislyn is around 18months-24months, I believe. So... instead of getting rid of Layna's pillowcase dresses and tops I had made her last year, I gave them to Aislyn. Her mother appreciates handmade/sewn projects and clothing. I made Aislyn and Layna matching twirl skirts. They are so simple and quick to make !
Now, I have a couple projects going. I refinished a dresser. I sanded, and painted it white and didn't like it. And my mother found an antique white paint on our shelf of paint cans. I painted the drawers the antique white. I am debating if I should do the whole dresser dark brown or just the top. My parents have had it and are annoyed. How many times can you paint a dresser ?! I need to like it because I never have anything I really like. So I will be working on finishing the dresser along with finish tiling my brothers bedroom. (He just moved out and I'm moving into his room). I painted the walls today; nothing fancy just that antique white paint - we had two full gallons of it!
My projects include:
finishing the dresser
tiling the floor
decorating my new room
a quick refinishing to a bookcase for Little Lady's bedroom
a quick refinishing job of a round side accent table for my room
I am in the middle of making a bag for my laptop too
busy girl I am !
I will try to post some photos of the dresser and Layna's dress soon !
