Orphaned bumper pads....

I sit here and realize that it has been almost a month since I have posted. Bad blogger, bad blogger. Now, just so that you know, I have not been sitting watching soaps and eating bonbons.

I have been busy creating new nursery sets for the orphaned bumper pads that you find at the thrift store. I am feeling pretty proud of what has come out of this adventure.

I started with a lone bumper pad that I got for .99 cents. Headed to the fabric store to get matching fabric.

Was able to make comforter, dust ruffle, and 2 valances.

Originally it was going to be boy directed, but when I took a closer look at the toile like fabric that I picked out, I discovered that there is a girl and her mom on it. Talk about a change of plans. I then decided to add the dollies and yo-yo's to add a more feminine touch. I do think it worked.

Now I am on to my 3rd orphaned bumper pad project. Bring on the boys.

I will get photos posted of my first advanture in orphaned bumper pads lated today.

March...

How can it possible be March already? It is just surprising how quickly a month flys by. February has been busy.

I did 26 boyshorts for Anderson-Hoxie Dance Project in Waverly. I didn't take any pictures of them and I really need to get better at that one.

I have been working on items for our annual Nebraska Bowhunting Association Banquet auction that is at the end of this week.

Then I have also been busy purchasing fabric to match 3 bumper pads that I bought from the thrift store for the Take 2 Kids Consignment sale at the end of April.

I have also been thinking of all the items that I would love to make for sale on either Etsy or Winkelf. So many ideas, not enough time.
