When last I blogged my plans were to get the materials needed to make the doll blankets and curtains for the bedroom. Unfortunately that still hasn't happened. Nor has the doll house arrived. Unfortunately people get sick and plans don't always come together.
Over the weekend I pulled out a small metal Christmas tree for Pheebe to decorate and found some small stalkings for her to hang up.
Today I spent the morning wrapping gifts. Including some of the dollar store finds for Pheebe.
The afternoon was spent finishing the mattresses and cutting out the pieces to make the pillows.
This evening I made the pillows and pulled the bunk out of hiding to put the mattresses and pillows in it only to discover I messed up on the mattresses. In order to make the nap mats fit right I needed to cut them in half and sew them into the covering. Well when I put the pieces together I turned them by mistake. As a result the mattresses are too long and not wide enough. Looks like I will have to pull it apart and start all over. Now I will need to pick up more material to sew the new mattresses.
One step forward 2 steps back I suppose.
Hopefully tomorrow I can get out for fabric, paint, & wood stain. I need to get moving on all the little details or I will be in big trouble.
Who's idea was it to have Christmas gifts that all take a lot of preparation? Time to get cracking!
