Our camera has been giving us some trouble--sucking up batteries and refusing to flash--so photos have been delayed. But last night the sun was particularly wonderful, all slanty and golden through the etched glass of our windows. So I decided to try some shots around the house-mostly of naked little boys running down the shadowy hallway but also a few of projects. Here is the oldest's new door bed and patch quilt made from James' old pj pants, an aqua sheet and (shocker) a big yardage of polyester from Calvin's.
The traintracks/ladder depending on how you look at them and the simple white curtains over the bamboo shades I took from my room. I would never have bought this type of shade but it is actually perfect for a kids room--blocks the light but still gives you a sense of lightness. I made the train tracks by cutting a couple of pieces of 1x2 into similar lengths and then drilling holes in their sides and running a length of blue dollar store rope through them. I'd hoped the rope would look more like the track but alas--seems to be very tree house ladder in stead. I guess a ladder is equally as little-boyish but not quite as transportation-y, which had been the intention.
Nicely done, lady. And nice cons on James. Still putting your box together. I will get it in the mail today, tell JR sorry his b-day gift is so late.
