I'm Crafty!

My sweet husband and father have been helping me in the last few weeks with several "projects" for Carly's room. Sometimes they think I am crazy when I try to explain to them what I want them to do. My Dad thought I was nuts when I drew him a diagram of something I wanted built (which included dimensions). But they have been so sweet about it and they really try to make me happy. On Mother's Day I completed my bow holder project and really wanted to complete the cornice board for Carly's window. My Dad finished building it and I started to cover it. They decided they would just do it for me since I am not too great with the staple gun! Once we were finished they LOVED it and were just as proud as I am of it. They finally understood my "vision." David told me later that night that he loved that I am so "crafty" and that Carly's room will be so unique!

Here are some pictures along the way....

Here is the cornice board built to my instructions :)

Here we are covering the cornice board with cotton batting.

I must have missed the step where we covered it in fabric. Then I added a solid black ribbon around the edges and trimmed it with white sparkly boa. I cannot wait for David to finish the paint so we can hang it up! My Aunt is making her curtains in the striped fabric from her bedding and I know it will all be precious once put together!
