Birthday and Sewing Happenings

Posted By on April 20, 2010

THIS IS A FAMILY POST  🙂

Leanna redecorated her room and moved from teeny-bopper to high school decor.  She packed her rubber ducky collection into glass vases (we got the idea from Aunt Chris who put her collection into a tall glass vase!)

First, do you want to see Grandangel Leanna’s Breakfast Table?  I put out 14 birthday candles (actually 15 if you count the little one on her cupcake!!)……DD Christi is wondering if I will be able to produce 30 plus for HER BIRTHDAY!  LOL.

 

14 Breakfast Candles

Actually, Nanna filled TWO of these tall glass vases (from Michael’s)…..but I only took a picture of one.

And two tall vases were not enough – there were duckies left over to put into a covered jar!!!!!

Nanna picked out some fleece for a blanket and some brown fabric for valances for her room………now decorated in hot pink and CHOCOLATE BROWN.    She did a great job of matching her new bedspread and sheets!!!

Fabric for Fleece Blanket and Curtains

ta da....Grandma Shirley Fringed the Fleece

And the valances are up…………it went pretty fast – I made this after I got home from school!!  Now the FUNNY PART is that in typical sao style I didn’t measure anything – I just GUESSED that we would need about 3 yards of fabric.  TOO FUNNY because in the end I had EXACTLY one inch and one/half strip of fabric left over.  TALK ABOUT A CLOSE GUESSTIMATE!!!!!  whew!
