Today I am a gimpy typist. While cleaning Z's room, I unearthed an outlet cover...ya know, those little plastic thingies you stick in the outlet to keep little ones from zapping themselves? Well, our chocolate lab found it and was chewing it up, so I tried to get it out of her mouth. She chewed one last chew while my fingers were in her mouth and WHOA MAMA she caught my right index finger in between her teeth. ow, OW, OW! I jumped up and ran around and jumped up and down and tried really hard not to say the dirty words I wanted to say. She broke the skin in one spot and my finger is throbbing and swollen now. OUCH....and eeeewwww! I slapped some antibiotic stuff on there, so hopefully my finger won't turn green and fall off. Yuck. Also frustrating, because I have mountains of sewing to do! UGH!
Anywho....let's move on, shall we? I have a great project to share with you! The Nusery Valance Makeover!!!
Z had the CUTEST bedding set in her nursery. It was green gingham, trimmed with red gingham and scalloped eyelet lace with little ladybugs embroidered on it. When we changed her room to Little Girl instead of Sweet Little Precious Baby, I couldn't bear to get rid of the bedding..the fabric was just too cute! Soooo, I decided to do a little refashioning, using this:
This was the window valance. So cute! I opened the side seam from the top down about an inch, and inserted some elastic cut to fit Z's chest. I removed two of the ties and put them an inch down from the top of each side seam...and VOILA!
A seriously cute little apron style top! YAY! Here's the back view:
It's also majorly twirly. She loves twirly. She covets twirly. She DEMANDS twirly! Mama delivers!
