The beds are done!!!

I have been blessed with a love of organization, cleaning, utilizing one's space in the best possible way, and grand visions of how to do ALL of that. I have been blessed with a husband who is extremely talented when it comes to taking on any project I might throw at him. I have also been blessed with a plethora of children and a wonderfully 'cozy' home! So you can see where all of my blessings might join into what you might call 'The Perfect Storm'!
As to my Gand Visions, quite awhile back I had this great idea that we needed a set of toddler size bunkbeds........this is where my blessing of a husband comes into play. We threw the idea back and forth and had almost decided that maybe we didn't need the beds after all........and then Tallis decided to take to standing in her cradle at five and a half months old. Plan back on, we need the beds! Craig was a sport about the project. I know it ended up being a little more involved than he thought and their was some not so gentle prodding from me to get them done, but in the end they turned out every bit as adorable as I thought they would. Organized, functional, and cute. What more could a blessed woman ask for?



Baby needs a new bed!

Those little fists atop the edge of the cradle were causing some concern. Shortly after, and I mean within minutes, this picture she pulled herself up to standing in the cradle which was then rocking rather wildly. Yeah, Baby needs a new bed.

The beginning of making the beds.


He humored me with a smile, knowing full well that it was going to be blog material.



All finished!!!

Not quite wall-to-wall beds, but close.
