Another great thing that happened this past weekend was the completion of a (very small) project! As a mom I really treasure my ‘me time’ for creative outlets like painting and sewing. I knew having a new baby meant projects would be on hold for a while, but this past weekend I got a little project finished that’s been on my to do list for a while. I don’t know if you remember this doll bed I got at a garage sale, but I’ve been wanting to make a mattress for it ever since I bought it. It didn’t take very long at all but I was so happy to finally have it done. It’s funny how the completion of a little project feels so good. So here it is.
For the inside padding I used two different layers. One of extra thick batting and the other being some foam the hubs brought back from work. Then I just made an envelope style pillow case enclosure out of the blue ticking fabric and ta-da! I think the blue ticking fabric looks vintage-y and cute….my husband thinks it looks prison-y. To each his own.
And look who stopped by to give the new mattress a little test run.
Silly Lamp.
Look at that sweet face….I think this might be my favorite Lamp picture yet.
I actually think it looks great. I didn't even think about a prison bed. Love that Lap is testing it out. 🙂
Oh my, that little model is a cute one.
First of all, the picture of Lamp is simply adorable! Second: what a great bed! You're so talented, I'm jealous. Third: tell B he doesn't know diddly! (Just kidding!) That's such a B thing to say…he's still so funny, after all these years 😉
mine too.(favorite lamp pic)
Oh my gosh…she is such a cutie pie. So tiny. The mattress is a little prisonny, but way cute. What can I say, we have the same genes. BTW I very much enjoyed the yogurt body wash while I was at your house. I think i just my pick myself up some.
OHmygoodness, she is gorgeous!
Definitely such a cute picture of a gorgeous baby girl! She looks so sweet in that darling bed.
dear miggy, gosh that little baby can't hide her spunk. good work.
I loved scrolling down and seeing that face! She is beautiful!
I love the bed. And Lamp is just beautiful. She looks so much like your Beanie.
She is outrageously adorable. It's darling that she fits in the doll bed.
I LOVE the look on Lamp's face! What a little pixie!
That sweet face! I love it! Is she a blondie?
It doesn't look like a prison mattress! I saw it and thought, "Oh, a vintage mattress!" Cute.
And Lamp is so small and sweet! That's a picture to treasure.
love the bed. love the baby. love you.
the bed is cute, but I am way too distracted by the adorable baby:) She is perfect and looking so alert! Give her a kiss from me, and tell her big sis that Graham says hi!
Thanks all…and I'm glad more of you think it's vintagy and not prisony. And yes that Lamp is a cutie-pa-toutie.
Too cute! Love the look on her little face.
adorable pic of lamp.
That is a sweet face! Her eyes looks so connected and cute! Kudos for finishing a project. That is one tough thing to do with two kiddos.
I want to make a lamp doll! too freaking cute (and amazing bed, so jeal!).
