The kids were so happy to finally have a “snow day” yesterday. We had about 2 or 3 inches of sleet then last night had some snow start and got maybe an inch. Talk about happy kids! I don’t think we had any last year. Haven’t had much for five years I know- the year Jac was born.
Don’t get me wrong, I like snow, but am SOOO glad I don’t live somewhere cold where we’d have it everyday. I couldn’t handle the wet little feet prints and 20 pairs of socks from changing every time they go in/out all the time.
My dog especially loves it and wanted to spend the entire night in the snow! Nut.
Yesterday I took advantage of my homebound boredom (and small burst of energy) and broke out my new sewing machine!
I have been wanting to make the boys a closet door/ puppet theater since I took off their closet door. (They kept banging it against their other door and making huge dents in it.) I saw this great one in Pottery Barn Kids book Kid’s Rooms awhile ago and have had the page bookmarked! I used a curtain I’d gotten on sale at Land’s End for $4 made of navy canvas and cut it in half and used the second half for bits and pieces I needed.
I have to get a curtain rod still (thinking an expandable spring rod,) but this is what I came up with! The boys want me to applique some things on it, we’ll see!
Nicely done. You may inspire me toget a sewing machine. I jsut wonder if I have the patience and time to do anything with it!
I tell you what- it took me so long to make the durn thing my patience wasn't at it's best. Its strange how much you forget! I had to rip a lot out…
I'm back though and think I'll be making more fun stuff now.
Wow…that's awesome! You are very talented!
I'm not gonna lie… your version looks 10x better than Pottery Barn. And I am a PB fanatic, so that's really saying something!
I wish my family– everyone from the kids to the dog– felt the same as yours about snow. My daughter cried, and my dog refused to go outside all day long.
