Thanks for the sweet comments yesterday about our new dress up cabinet. Kadence came over to check it out as soon as she could get her mom to drive her here
I think she liked it, too!
Then she got to come over again today. Madison and I picked her up from school and she spent a few hours here til her mom got off work.
Between you and me; I can't wrap my mind around how *Octomom* is going to care for 14 little ones. These two for an afternoon about wore me to a nubbin!
It seemed that for one to be happy, the other had to be unhappy.
Well, as in life; whether you're having fun or not, it goes by pretty fast. Kadence has gone home, Miss Madison Grumpy Pants is taking a much needed nap, and I'm going out to my private haven to do some mindless fabric folding.
I like the way the new cabinet came out! Didn't take a 'before' shot..it was brown and ugly with handlettered labels scotch taped all over. After cleaning off all the old bits of adhesive I just painted a couple of coats and added the scallop border on top (believe it or not; they had it and other wood trims in three foot runs at Michael's!) . 21 cubbies with a footprint of 9x11" each. I had a couple of plastic picnic *blanket*s from Daiso that I cut up for shelf lining. I should be able to fit a fair amount of fabric in there, don't you think? I'll let you know how it goes. :-)
have a happy weekend, and Happy Spring!

Where did you find the sweet pink ironing board? Oh my, love it!
Also love the studio!! Wow!

What sweet lovely girls. Love the cabinet. Think of the great memories they are making. I can't imagine taking care of all those kids either. I was thinking today. How would you have time to shower no less go buy milk and bread!

Jen, I'm so proud to know you. You are talented, friendly, helpful (soundls kind of like a puppy dog)and I appreciate that you are a grandma who takes her job seriously! I'd do anything for MY grandbabies and I know you would too!

Those girls could not be any cuter, even when pouting.
And if you don't tell me where you found scallop trim I'll be pouting, and possibly ranting and raving. xo
