about a year ago my sweet girl started asking for a new comforter. she had the same one since she was 3 and it was definitely "little" girl. i had big dreams of making her a quilt. we talked about it. we looked at different ideas. we talked more about it.
thankfully...this summer we were out and about and there on the clearance rack she spotted a comforter she fell in love with. since i could never make it for less we bought it and brought it home. as fall set in we started talking about making the rest of the room fit the color scheme.
today we made that happen.....
here you see the comforter...and we made these hoops with some leftover fabric and scraps she picked out today. saw it on pinterest :)
she spent about an hour creating her own canvas painting this afternoon to hang. i love her desire to create! she knew exactly what she wanted to do and did it!
when we hung the other things up i noticed she had this board that no longer matched. so we took it down and recovered it. she was very happy with how it turned out. and i love using a hot glue gun.
thanksgiving weekend i had made her curtains to match. so those were already done but she sure does love them.
and well, this is just because i love that she needs to keep this sweet nativity in her room. baby jesus lost an arm a long time ago and we have lost a few wise men and the shepherd boy. as a side note - she is hoping for a new clock at christmas. she says she is well beyond dora now.
this is something i've been wanting to do for a long time now so it feels good to have it checked off my list. plus she loves it and helped with each and every step!
