For My Princess

Yesterday I shared with you what I made for my little boy, today I thought I'd show you what I've made for my baby girl (well, she's no longer a baby but she's still MY baby :o)). I love making stuff for girls, as I love pinks, and frills, and butterflies.. I decided on a garden theme for the little princess, with butterflies, ladybirds and dragonflies.. sweeeeettt :o)..

This is the lamp..

The clothes hanger. This time I painted it pink :o).

I searched high and low for a pink clock, but to no avail. This clock was white in colour (the same RM5.90 clock I got for Aiman).. so I spray painted it pink! Easy! :o)

And the sweet pink mirror. Sorry for the blurry photo. Try as I might, I could not take a good photo without getting myself in the reflection :0).

And the boxes for her hairbows and clips and frilly socks.. If I can find them that is! She hides them everywhere! Usually there's one under the sofa, one behind the cushion and if you're not careful there'd be one going into her mouth (yup! the socks too!).

And another growth chart that I made from scratch. I love how it turned out!:o)

A sign for the door just like Abang Aiman's.. :o)

And last but not least, a pink wastepaper basket. Oh, I've got to share this with you. I showed the basket to Amira, pointing at the butterfly, I asked, "what's this?". To which she answered,"ba-fy". I was so proud. Then I pointed at the ladybird and asked again, "what's this?". She confidently replied "ipash, mama!" (coachroach, mama!). Hahaha! I didn't know whether to laugh or cry!

My sweet, sweet girl.. she's such a bundle of joy! I hope she'll grow to love them. Enjoy Amira, mama loves you! :o)

For My Prince

I have been busy these past few weeks decorating and making basic stuff for my children's room. They are still very young so they will be sharing a room for the time being. I had a lot of fun looking for stuff for my son's room. He loves cars, trains, airplanes, basically anything that has an engine and moves! So I've decided to incorporate a transportation theme :o). These are what I have made so far:

A mirror with a heli and a train. The mirror was on sale. It was previously SD$39.95 and it went down to SD$9.95! It was the perfect colour too! I just had to grab it!

This is a clothes hanger. Bought the hanger at a thrift shop for RM2.00. It was a natural wood colour so I spray painted it blue.

I was looking everywhere for a blue wastepaper basket and found it at a local supermarket. A car, train and airplane later.. voila!

I found these colourful boxes at a two dollar store. It would be very handy for putting his little toy cars and trains in (all 1,578 of them! :o))..

A little blue clock (shhh.. I bought it for only RM5.90 :o)).

I found this lamp at IKEA. Not as cheap as I would have liked it to be but it compliments all the other stuff so it's a good excuse :o).

Ohh.. and I'm so proud of this growth chart that I made from scratch! I went to the hardware store and got them to cut a long piece of wood for me (for just RM4.00!). Brought it home and spray painted it blue. A lot of measuring and gluing and drawing later.. a growth chart is born! :o)

And last but not least, a sign for his door :o)


Glad to say that it all did not cost very much but my son gets all excited every time he looks at them :o) Ahh.. the little pleasures of life :o) Enjoy my little munchkin, mama loves you!
