I have been working as diligently as I can to get my studio in order. Liesl has an easel in there now. She loves to paint and draw on the chalkboard. I am hoping that she gets tied up in the painting and allows me to do the same on my easel or drafting table with my project of choice. I now have a "new" desk in the studio which I am loving. My dad basically created a new desk from an old one. I say this because he did so much more than refinish it. he routed a beautiful new edge on it and refinished and lacquered it to a beautiful new shiny blonde. Gorgeous! I am currently waiting for some new pretty little Martha Stewart handles for it.
I cant wait. Jim brought 2 wonderful dressers into our house from his parents which I am going to try and refinish for various purposes in the house. Currently they are storing Liesl and my craft supplies..... some of them. I couldnt possibly fit everything in 2 dressers! What were you thinking. One of those dressers is going to be put into Liesl's room. I am aspiring to paint her room like Pixie Hollow from Tinker Bell and the dresser too. Some of the drawers have fallen apart and I am toying with the idea of making the top 2 drawers into shelves.
I found a few blogs out there that have great outdoor crafting and activities with kids. really fresh sites and I am really excited to visit them. I am hoping to make a fairie garden for Liesl this spring in our garden. I found this wonderfully simple but gorgeous 3D star to hang for the holidays and I am hoping to make a fleet of them for our house.
I have also been working on felt story boards for Liesl. She now has a Farm board with farm animals and zoo animals and I am working on a princess storyboard for her currently. She now has one at both Oma's houses and at Home. She loves to play with them as she potty trains :)
