Cherries and Dingleberries

I have been soooooo excited to show you all Keeley's gifts for her first birthday. I loveitloveitloveit! First, I found these cute little chairs at Goodwill for 99 cents a piece! I couldn't pass up a deal like that for such small little chairs:


Kind of cute, right? They reminded me of being in a first grade class room. Then I found this cute little table at a different Goodwill for only $9.99:


I got it home and it was the perfect size!

So then I went to work with some spray paint (and when I say "I", I mean "Big Daddy"); pulled out the trusty Modge Podge and went to work. And now the table looks like this:


Here's the top:


The alphabet is cut out from some scrapbook paper, glued on with Modge Podge, a couple extra coats of Modge Podge for good measure, and a couple coasts of polyurethane.
And the chairs now look like this:


Wait...something's missing:


There...that's better. Cushions with cute little pink dingleberries (I think they're more commonly known as "pom-poms"):


And how cute is that cherry fabric? Here's one more look at it just because I love it so much:


But wait...there's more! I had started on a quilt for Keeley before she was born but it was just a hot mess. The fabric was all wrong and it kept falling apart so I started all over from scratch and finally finished it:


I love that cherry fabric! I also added some detailing...some cute ribbon and buttons:


And one last thing. I decided to try my hand at clothes. I have never, ever even attempted to make a piece of clothing but I think it turned out pretty OK:


More dingleberries!


And finally, here's a picture of the whole shebang:


Whew....that was exhausting. It was a lot of work but I love how everything turned out. Now a day's rest before starting on the next project!
