Project Progress

Julian wants to show how his car is coming along.  I changed the color from black to red, once I found this material.  

I still have to do a pillow case and find something to use to make a blanket.

There's even enough room for Jacob.

I'm still on the fence as to whether to add things like lights and decorations on the side.  These are just stuck on with tape for now.  I will mod podge them on if I decide to keep them.

I like the headlights.  Again, they are just stuck on with tape.  I think I will add them for good.  The grate needs to be a little larger.  This item will be 'made to order', so as soon as I add the decals, I will be listing it in the store and taking orders.

I am working on a new crib for those of you who are waiting for one.  I will be designing a matching changing table after multiple requests.  I'm listening!

I am halfway done with the production chair.  I am even using the same material as shown here.  It will probably be listed in the store sometime this weekend.

I'm also doing a few small unique decor items for the store.  This still needs a couple more coats of stain and a protective coat.

And this morning I made my favorite cheesecake.  I really made it to use as a bribe to get my neighbor to mow my lawn.  You definitely need two hands to mow the lawn.  My arm is getting better, but it's not mowing the lawn better.

I have a few more projects that I've started, but they aren't ready to show just yet.

    1. AG Lanc - Great. Glad you like it. I have an idea about price, but I won't know for sure until I completely figure out the bedding. It will be offered at an introductory price which is less expensive.

  3. Julian's bed look even better now, when it's red. I often see such boy's bed in furniture magazines, they must be very popular right now. Your is really great, looks like real one!

    ahh, cheesecake! I;m sure your neightbor would happily agree to help you even without such bribe, but now you made it really worth working for :)

    1. jewel snake - Thanks. I like the red much better.

      My neighbor said the same thing, but it's a great way to bake without eating all the goodies.

    1. Valsays - Don't start talking about that cherry cheesecake. It's 3:40am and that cheesecake is still in my fridge. Maybe I'll just wait for breakfast. lol.

      I don't know how Danielle thinks she's going to get away with just getting one car bed.

    1. DBG - Jacob may be bunking with him a few days a week until Danielle can' get Jacob's bed. Who knows, Jacob may want a totally different kind of bed.

  15. I'm glad you went for red for the car bed. It seems to be really popular for little (real) boys and is obviously popular with Julian. As for the cheesecake - at first I wasn't sure if it was for dolls or people but it looks yummy.

    1. Carrickters - The only reason I painted the car black was because of my initial idea to do a batman car. I made brownie cookies yesterday. Talk about delicious! But they are already packed in a tin can and ready to go away to someone else. I would be big as a house if I ate all the stuff I baked. I will be delivering treats and business cards to offices real soon.

    1. Heather - Thanks. There is going to be a white wooden backdrop for that map, so it's going to make a really nice wall hanging or something to sit on top of a fireplace.

    1. Ms. Leo - Thanks! Yes, you will see it finished. I've been wanting to do kids furniture for my store for some time now. This is my prototype that will stay with Julian. This was supposed to be listed in my store a few days ago as a "Made to Order". I'm hoping I can get it listed this weekend.
