I have gotten so much more done than this but well here are some highlights.
I cut wood
I turned said wood into a bed and I only hit my thumb once. But I could not locate my drill charge cord so I got to build this old school. Yeah - 2 inch nail lots of glue and a hammer. I couldn't even find the big hammer so I had to use one of the kids Lowes kiddie sized hammers.
Then I built another...
And thanks to my trusty helpers painted everything in the process of painting them.
Scrap fabric bedding!!!
What little lady isn't a shopkins fan?
Hopefully she isn't too bothered by my crappy hand embroidery work on the cookie pillows but that's not my best skill at all.
NOW - for the details. The plans for these cute little beds that basically ANYBODY can build. I mean seriously let your daughter build this. Or have your son build it for your daughter if looking for a good homeschool wood shop project.
The ANA WHITE website has detailed plans and instructions.
What is that you may ask? ok you know its a merry go round. That's an early Christmas gift because where the hell was I suppose to hide a merry go round?? And getting it delivered closer to Christmas wasn't going to be possible. Took a lot of looking to find a smaller version. This still holds children up to 12 years old only it is only rated for 4 kids where as the larger ones hold many more children. BUT they also cost a shit load more and take up a ton of yard space. I finally found a nice reasonably sized 4 foot one at this online retailer. We went with the simple 4 foot one.
