Beth's Bed

Beth's bed was pretty simple to make. I wanted to have under the bed storage, so I didn't make it like a box. The bed measures about 20" by 10" and about 5" high. I was able to make it from one piece of foam board from the Dollar Store. I cut two of each piece and hot glued them together to make the bed more sturdy. I may eventually add a simple headboard.

The bed length gives a little bit of room on every side, as you can see below. Since Beth's room is kind of on the smaller size, a compact bed was essential.

Here you can see the doubled foam board.

I made a simple mattress/cushion using an old sheet. A cut a rectangle and sewed the edges close. The inside is actually folded up tulle. I had extra that I wasn't using, so I put it in there.

The bed still needs blankets and pillows, which I am excited to start on. Next I want to make a bunk bed of foam board for the other two girls. I think it will work...

Thanks for reading!

Remodel! Photostory

Today I bring you a photo story!

~~~

Maggie, Beth, and Brooke stood around talking. Their house was being remodeled and it was all the buzz.

Brooke said excitedly, "A few of the rooms are ready to be moved in to! Beth, would you like to see yours?"

Beth turned to Maggie, "My room?!"

"Yeah, you get your own room!" Brooke said pointing the way. The other girls followed her.

"This is it!" Brooke smiled.

"It is kind of small-" Brooke started to say.

Beth shook her head, "It will be cozy."

Brooke nodded, "We'll go get some of your stuff and bring it in." She and Maggie headed out the door.

Wow, my very own bedroom, Beth thought, looking around.

Maggie grabbed a crate of things and set it on the floor. She started unpacking.

Beth put up a few shelves for her trinkets.

The bed was brought in next. Beth pushed it against the wall.

"This is fun!" Maggie exclaimed as she put the mattress on the bed.

Brooke helped by putting some of Beth's things on the shelves.

When it was all finished, Beth said, "Thank you so much! I love it!"

"You're welcome! We are all excited to be getting more space!" Brooke replied. She glanced at Beth's cardigans, "Oh, we'll have to get a coat hook for some of your clothes."

"That sounds great, and I'm going to decorate and stuff too." Beth said.

"Cool!"

Maggie and Lea were in the upstairs room.

"It's funny, right now we have a whole room just for shoes!" Maggie giggled.

"It all is very organized." Lea nodded approval.

"Thanks to you!" Maggie smiled.

The girls heard a voice shout, "Maggie!"

Maggie went to go see who was calling. It was Brooke in a different room.

Brooke said, "You and I will be sharing this room."

"Cool!"

"Wow guys this room is big!" Beth said as she came in.

"That is why Maggie and I are sharing it together." Brooke explained.

Lea soon joined the other girls, as they chatted about bunk beds and other possibilities for Maggie and Brooke's room.

So yes! I have converted some space into a couple doll room's! I'm excited to work on furniture, and I already made Beth's bed out of foamboard. I hope to make a bunkbed for Maggie and Brooke also out of foamboard. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this photostory!

Beth's New Cardigan and Modeling Her Newest Outfit

This week I made Beth a black cardigan! I used the Liberty Jane pattern hack tutorial on Pixie Faire. The fabric I used was from a black sweater.

She is wearing the cardigan with the outfit she got for Christmas.
