This is our last full day babysitting Gizmo. I have a couple of silly pictures.

Apparently, he can’t decide if he wants to be in his bed or on his blankie. So he did both.

He purposefully weaved into the blinds like that. I watched him do it.

On a random note, we eat a lot of watermelon (we = Ashley and me). So I saw this awesome knife at Aldi and had to buy it!

Today I worked on a project for Kayla’s room. Her room used to have light purple paint below a purple flowery chair rail wall paper border. She had a Littlest Pet Shop comforter set to go with it. Now, her room is a really pretty shade of turquoise that she picked out. So the comforter was really clashing. The trick – she wants dragon themed things in her room now, and the only dragon themed bed sets are black and red. I got the idea that I could just use the existing comforter as filler and make a new cover for it. We went to the fabric store and Kayla found this brocade fabric. The blue matches her room!

I also picked up a turquoise fabric to make the back of the comforter. Here is what her comforter looked like this morning:

 This is the back.This is the front.

A few hours and some time with my sewing machine….

See that little pillow on her bed? That is the Care Bear pillow she has had for years! I had some leftover fabric, and now she has a matching pillow. Kayla is thrilled with her new bed, and I was amazed at how well it all matched. The materials cost about $50, which is a pretty good deal for what she ended up with. That brocade glows in light – the dragons and peacocks on the pattern look like they are on fire!
