Leslie has just returned from Danielle's. She now needs to think about dinner. Not her favorite thing to do.
"Mommy, can I go outside and play?" (Ciana)
"Not right now. We have to start getting dinner ready." (Leslie)
"Please, mommy." (Ciana)
"Ciana, I said no. You just spent the last 3 hours playing. It's time for you to rest your little body." (Leslie)
"After I rest, can I go outside?" (Ciana)
Leslie knows she is not going to win this battle. She chooses not to answer Ciana.
"Hello my handsome little devil. You were so good for mommy today." (Leslie)
Ciana stares out onto the bedroom balcony. She loves being outside.
"Mommy are you sleeping?" (Ciana)
"No. I'm just resting for a moment." (Leslie)
"Hello? Is anyone home?" (David)
"Daddy!" (Ciana)
"Ciana!" (David)
"What's that honey?" (Leslie)
"It's the trophy we won at the basketball tournament. I wanted to bring it home so you can see it. I'm going to keep it in the display window at the gym." (David)
David gives Leslie a quick kiss and then gives his kids a hug.
Ciana proceeds to tell him about her time at Danielle's.
"....and then Licia and the bike fell on me." (Ciana)
"Oh no! Are you okay? Where's your boo boo? I'll kiss it and make it better." (David)
"I haven't fixed anything for dinner yet. I was just getting ready to head to the kitchen." (Leslie)
"Mommy, I want to help!" (Ciana)
"Stop shouting. You can help. Go wash your hands." (Leslie)
Leslie slips her shoes on, and Ciana heads to the bathroom.
"Honey, I'm thinking about firing up the whirlpool tonight. You interested in joining me?" (David)
"Ohh, that sounds nice. Count me in." (Leslie)
EPILOGUE
- I decided to work on the Anderson's bedroom instead of the rest of their house. This was a quickie dio, just to get started. The bedspread is a table napkin that happened to be the perfect fit. Plans are to make new bedding, add a bench at the foot of the bed, make lamps, and add more accessories.
- The closet in the corner is the one my mom just recently found at the thrift store.
- I recently made the little nightstand on Leslie's side.
- Yes, we will get to see them in the hot tub.
- It's times like this that I can really appreciate those Fashionista knees. I wish my new SIS girls had those type knees.
The table napkin bedspread looks great! I will have to try that idea.
ReplyDeletelimbe dolls - The napkin idea was a last minute thing. I was desperate to get started with the picture taking. I am now on the hunt for more napkins.
Delete"Where's your boo boo? I'll kiss it and make it better."
ReplyDeleteAawwwww!!!!
Sergio - Daddy wanted to make it all better.
DeleteWell, Miss Ciana is certainly determined.
ReplyDeleteI never would have guessed that the bedspread is a napkin. It looks fantastic!
Alura - Those 3 yr olds can be relentless when they want something. My stepgranddaughter loves being outside. It can be cold as the dickens and she will ask to ride her bike. She will be three this month.
DeleteLa historia me encanto, y justo pensaba comentar que la colcha me gusto mucho, que ingeniosa forma de usar una servilleta, las fotos, geniales, hasta pronto, estamos en contacto.
ReplyDeleteMe alegro que te guste la historia y la colcha. gracias por su visita.
DeleteHere I was admiring the bedspread. LOL What a sweet family.
ReplyDeleteGrandmommy - Using the napkin was my lazy way of finishing the dio. LOL. Who knew it would turn out so well. I will have to find some more napkins.
DeleteI'm borrowing a computer with Windows 8. Thanks for the tip about a trial Adobe Elements program.
ReplyDeleteLeslie and David have a lovely bedroom. Ciana and the baby are adorable ;-)
D7ana - Yes the trial is 90 days long, which gives time to play. It seems pretty powerful. Leslie and David thank you.
DeleteThe fun never ends when you have kids I guess *grins*. Notherless, Ciana's determination is adorable, and I envy them for havin a hot tub. Oh a slip in one of those can do wonders for a person!
ReplyDeleteVerona - Kids are 24/7! Lots of fun, and lots of work. They will be enjoying that hot tub a little later after the kids are all tucked away.
DeleteLove it! I really love the bed cover to! I wish my mother understood my hobby a little better!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you! My mother thinks I have a psychtriac problem!
Deletewilliam and Sergio - Thanks. You both need to introduce your mom to some of the doll blogs you read. When they find out how many of us are out here, they may think twice about shunning your hobby.
DeleteLove the color scheme of the bedroom. Clever idea to use the napkin as a bedspread. It works well.
ReplyDeletedbg
DBG - Thanks. The color scheme will become more prominent once I add the accessories and other furniture pieces. That napkin idea was me being too lazy to sew the bedspread I had cut out a couple of months ago. Sometimes being lazy works out.
DeleteI love how you finished the room. Napkin as a bedspread, what a great idea! The familiar scene is adorable, and I enjoy the photo where Ciana is disconsolate looking out the window... haha!
ReplyDeleteFarbield - Thanks. This is only the start for this room. I just wanted to get it started and work on it as I go. Ciana wants to go outside!
DeleteVanessa, The bedroom is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteTaylor - Thanks!
DeleteWhat a lovely bedroom!! I love the colours, materials and accessories!
ReplyDeleteHow do You make lamps? I can't wait the next post :)
Rosemary - Thanks! I am going to try to make wooden lamps with some of my new wood tools. Haven't tried it yet.
DeleteGreat looking bedroom! The bedspread ties the wallpaper and carpet together nicely. Looks like something you see on HGTV! LOL Love the trophy and the bedside lamp too. :-)
ReplyDeleteCinci - Thanks. I hope I can get to all the things I have planned for this room.
DeleteTheir bedroom looks really nice! Ciana is too cute. I don't know which is my fav between her and Julian. They are both so precious.
ReplyDeleteGeorgia Girl - Thanks. They can both be your favs. There's no limit, you know.
DeleteYour dioramas always look great! It's as if Candice went there to work her magic!
ReplyDeleteV. - Thanks. Candice Olsen is my girl! I wish I had her skills. Moving forward I will try to channel her more.
DeleteI hope you soon get used to your new windows, my mum is now using it (she bought a new computer just a few weeks ago) and I looks pretty complicated. The dio looks great even it was quickly done, you have instinct to arrange things just they best way. I'm looking forward to that bath!
ReplyDeleteRossetti - Thanks. Windows 8 takes a little getting used to, but it's not as hard as I thought it would be. The Andersons have finished dinner and is now trying to get the kids to bed.
DeleteThat's a sweet room! It has a lot of dimensions and the table cloth is perfect.
ReplyDeleteMuff - Thanks. My next thrift store run I'm headed to the linens section for some napkins.
ReplyDeleteYou've set yourself a very high standard for the rest of the Anderson house if the bedroom is anything to go by. That table napkin bedspread is lovely.
ReplyDeleteWindows 8 is interesting because it is more like the interface for a tablet/touch screen. Apparently it is not very popular though as people are not choosing to buy it as an upgrade.
Carrickters - What a sweet thing to say. As for Win 8, it does have a tablet like interface, but I quickly discovered that I can operate from the desktop just like I did before. They haven't done a great job marketing Win8, but I just saw a new commercial that explained a little more and I was impressed. I need to see some tutorials so I can take advantage of all the cool features.
