GO MAMA!!!

I bought Hailey a toddler size duvet from IKEA last time I was home in Florida, I love my duvet and figured what better for Hailey when she had a big girl bed than to have one just like mommy and daddy. They sold covers there too but if any of you know IKEA, then you know their patterns are a little on the funky side :) So, I decided I would just make my own! Pretty bold for someone that has a hard time folding a piece of paper in half and hasn't touched a sewing machine since the 6th grade!
Well the conversion to the toddler bed came sooner than expected and I was tasked with making her duvet long before I thought I would have to ... I decided to go with the "animal" theme in her room and bought several fabric swatches from Hobby Lobby. I had a vision in my head, and thanks to my girlfriend Heather I had a sewing machine ... now to just bring it all together :) I will admit I wasn't expecting much ...


but even Karl was impressed with my domestic abilities :) Just 1 day after starting I was done and super proud of my finished product :)



By far my biggest reward was hearing Hailey say "WOW" over the monitor when she woke up to a new bed cover with all her favorite animals on it :) I'll let her give you the details ...

I'm already trying to decide what to do next ... although I should spend more time studying for my RN program and less redecorating! But if it earns me smiles like this then it's hard to resist...
