A SKIRT FOR BED

I have a best friend and her name is Bed. She is actually my bed but I love her like a best friend. She is so good to me. 

So I made her a skirt.

 

I bought 12 Birch 1 x 4's at the 'Po. They even cut them to my dimensions. Eight boards cut @ 85" and 4 boards cut @ 73".

[Bed is a Cali King]  

[Bed should really be a boy]

[I'm aware this is getting ridiculous]

Next step! 

 

Bare feet and you bet I had a beer next to me!

I call this "rail roadin"!

I do believe the technical term is rail roading.

I stained the 3 pieces using left over stain I had and once they dried brought them into my bedroom for assembly. 

I used metal straps to re-enforce my "rail-roading" and 

L straps to join side pieces to the front piece. 

 

I only did three sides so that I can still pull the "skirt" out from the wall and stuff store things underneath Bed.

Just her size! 

 

Now what I really need is a rug. 

 

And one of those Moroccan pom pom blankets.

Easy no sew bed skirt!

 Now for Christ's sake take a photography class, Courtney. 

HIT ME BABY ONE MORE TIME

Annie and Greg are having a baby! 

I made super easy paper pinwheels to decorate her Baby Shower gift! 

Then made a few more for my wall for the 

"grown up girls dinner" decor... 

A little Bundle of Joy for invitations!   

  

Dinner time! 

King Cake! Si delicieux! 

We played the game that you list all the songs you can think of  with "baby" in the title.

The #1 answer across the board was no surprise.

 Britney Spears.

Congratulations Annie and Greg! Can't wait to meet the little guy!

CHEERS TO 2014!

Happy New Year! 

 [Nevermind that it's the ninth] 

I hope the last nine days have been full of celebrating, goal setting and closet clean-outing. 

Mine have been! 

I found a bunch of old cheap yarn that I would never knit with and thought... let's get crazy and ring in the new year with yarn pom pom balls! 

I've always wanted to make them. 
Made a bunch, then made 'em into a crown. 

Totally like Kate Middleton. 

Nope. Not even close.

Happy New Years. Good things are ALREADY shakin' down over here and I feel that great things are about to happen for everyone in 'Fourteen.  

Wishing you the best year yet!
