So its up and at them I say, I said to my hubby. Get your coat and wooly hat on, were hitting the forest to get some Holly and bringing the dogs with us... Well such a crazy look I got from him.. 

No buts, NOW I SAID, he eventually gave in and off we went. Vroom Vroom

How To Make A Doll's Play-Time Bed

Another creative post :)

So I was with my little niece " Cassie "aged 3 last week and it was coming up to her bed-time. I am sure if any of you have any children you will know that bed-time is not really straight forward as you think.

A little girl with a grown up personality and bed-time was not for her unless she has her little doll with her and her favourite little doll went to bed first and had to be fast asleep before she was...

With no bed for her doll only Cassie's bed and she doesn't really like sharing a bed, I came up with the idea of making her doll her very own Play-Time bed, which will give Mammy & Daddy some time for themselves, like a bit of peace and quite and bed time a little easier..

I created this little Doll's Play-time Bed below...

As you can see it's custom made for a special little lady " Cassie "

This is a surprise for her and she does not know about it yet and I can't wait to see her little face when she get's this the weekend. I'll be sure to post a pic of her with this little doll's bed....

This is pretty simple to make and does not cost a fortune and it's custom made with name and colour's...

I also made this video tutorial on " How To Make A Doll's Play-time Bed " if you want to see how I created this, you can do so by checking out this video I have uploaded to my youtube channel below .....

If you have any question's you want to ask me do feel free to comment below or comment on this video on youtube and I will gladly respond to you, or if you want to suggest anything for me to make I will try my best to show you how I do it..
