I have to thank Steve and Bex for helping me with the bed for Keera.
Steve for doing most of the construction, then both of them for helping with the painting too.
I had planned to leave it totally white, but over the weekend I came up with a little idea...
The quilt isn't finished, but I put it on the bed for the photo. I will be making a couple of matching pillowcases sometime this week too.
This morning, after I've taken the kids to kindy and school, I will be home doing housework for the morning.
There is always heaps to do after the weekend. At least the washing is up to date if nothing else.
It's supposed to rain today, rather happy it held off till now. Everyone got to enjoy lovely weather over the long weekend.
Right, that's me for now... crazy time starts.... getting everyone fed and dressed, lunch made and ready to go out the door by 8.15!
12.34: Well I got half the housework done and then I got visitors.
Kelly and one of her best friends, Amanda C.
They came out so Amanda C. could see our new home, and Kelly had a birthday present for me.
So we had a lovely visit.
Now, it's on with more housework ... then a late lunch.
8.55 pm: And it's been an awesome day. I'm loving the lovely smell coming from the smelly thing Kelly gave me!
The kids and Stew all noticed it straight away.
Dinner tonight was yummy lamb chops baked in mint sauce, a family favourite.
That's beautiful Chris - what a special bed for a special little girl. How did you do those colours? By hand ie, using a steady hand, or with masking tape? Very clever. Keera will feel so safe and cosy in her new bed.
ReplyDeleteBy hand.
DeleteOMG... that is very clever!! I would have had paint all over the place.
DeleteWOW that is just fabulous and I'm sure Kiera loves it. I love the way you put the colours on the top edge of the bed-adds a great finish to it. You all did an incredible job here.
ReplyDeleteO Chris, what a perfect idea!!!!!!! Those colors actually showcase the quilt -
ReplyDeleteThat looks very very cool. I'd like one for myself!!
ReplyDeleteThe bed is darling.
ReplyDeleteLove the touch of color on the bed. Its is so darling.

DeleteShe slept in it last night, the paint was only just dry! She loves it... and we are all very proud of it. Steve is talking about making his boys a bunk set now! *smiles*
Glad that you liked your pressie. And the smell. Love keeras new bed.. oh and Amanda C loved the house could not stop talking about it on the way home
ReplyDeleteI like that bed! Is it 6 feet 3 inches long? Big enough for me? Glad you like the "smelly thing" Kelly gave you!
ReplyDeleteI hope you guys had a great visit! You are always busy making things and entertaining people. :)
ReplyDeleteThe bed turned out lovely. Glad to see you had a sunny weekend and made the most out of the good weather. Happy Birthday again.
