A Second Look

Did you ever make something, take a good close look at it, and then start over? Well, that's what I did with some things I made for Kat's room box.

I went over to visit Kat. I saw what she was stitching for her nursery room box and realized the diaper stacker I was making was all wrong.

Thankfully, I had an old pillow case that turned out to be the perfect shade of green. I didn't like the black knobs on the bench so I changed them. The panda looked too mean so I made him happy.


NOW I'm finished. If you don't count the half dozen more diapers I need to make. Oh, and the little sticks of bamboo for the pandas to eat. Can't have hungry pandas!

It's really cold again here this morning! Will spring EVER come?

Baby Gifts

Here are the things I've made for Kat's nursery roombox. I'll be sending them to Kathleen soon, along with my prayers for sweet baby Brianna and her family.

This is a little hooded bath towel. It's just folded, not glued, so Kat can hang it somewhere if she'd like. The pair of Japanese sandals are just like an American Girl Doll would wear. That's where I got the idea. They don't make dollhouse doll clothes but I wish they did!

The diaper cake is waiting for a little panda bear on top. Yes the diapers are cloth, and yes they were made one at a time!

The cake needs a panda bear on top. I'm not good with clay so I'm leaving that up to Kat or Katie? :D

The lucky bamboo plant is made with wire and hand cut leaves. It is planted in a real bamboo planter.

If you haven't read Kat's post about the roombox she is making, please go see. There are lots of people participating in this project. I can't wait to see the finished nursery!

NOW you know why I haven't been posting this week.

Panda Bench

When I read Kat's heartfelt post this morning, I immediately thought of the little blue and green bench that came with my Craig's List dollhouse.

I sanded it and put on a new coat of paint. Then I made a little panda face out of woodsie circles and stuck it on (temporarily). This one is only an idea.

If you would like to have this Kat, I'll send it to you. I promise to finish it nicely first! It is 3 12" long by 2 1/2" tall. It might be too big for what you're doing?

Thank you for making a special gift for this sweet baby's grandmother. I know she will treasure it!
