We've taken a break from school these last couple of weeks. We've done school at least 2 days each week plus any co-ops we've gone too.
The girls made windchimes at 4-H last week. They really turned out cute! And they sound so pretty. It took about 2 1/2 hours to put them together but so worth it!Last Monday my dear friend Candy and I painted the girls bedroom. The new color doesn't show up well in the pictures but look so much better than what it was! Our plan is to get bunk beds and do a lady bug theme with pictures and such. I have one twin duvet cover made for the beds. The other material sits in my closet waiting on me to make it. I chose red and brown twin size sheets to make the duvet cover. It cost about $8 per cover...can't beat that...well...I guess free might...smile! I put one of their older comforters in the duvet and sewed
little ties (with bias tape) to the inside of the duvet cover and to the comforter to keep the comforter from slipping down. Here are before and after pictures.
These are the pictures of before we painted
These are the pictures afterwards. You can see the red duvet I made...it only covers 1/2 the bed b/c the bed is a queen and I made it for a bunk bed. This took 3 coats. The color looks snotty in the pictures but it is a nicer shade of green in real life.
The girls used some acrylic paint paper and painted ladybugs to put up on the walls in nice white frames I had from their princess room. NOw I need to get some ladybug or some type of red handles for their dresser.
