So many projects....


So I have had a few projects all going on in a bit of a flurry lately!
They all link into Libby’s Room – a project that my lovely friend from work C asked me to help her with: decorating her beautiful daughter Libby’s room in time for her 5th birthday.
I had lots of things that I wanted to do my self but I limited them to making to just four things:
1.      A wall motif;
2.      Dress pillows for the bed;
3.      A bedside light; and
4.      A hanging feature.

1. The wall motif:
We decided on a tree and thought that on the end of the branches we would hang hooks for Libby’s scarfs, bags and hats.
I tried a freehand tree however it ended up looking like some sort of twisted, curling mess that didn’t look anything like any tree I had ever seen! So I went to the internet and found a tree shape that I adapted......



After making a rough grid on the MDF board I traced on the tree design.





























The wonderful J then used the jig-sawed and cut it out for me and painted it all ready to go into the room.....




Next project - 2. Dress pillows for the bed ......
