A Spotty bed Skirt

On the weekend, I finally made a bed skirt for my daughter's bed.  Another project that has been on the 'to do' list for about 2 years.  We recently bought the bird bed linen from Adairs.

A quick visit to Spotlight on Saturday and we had all that we needed to make the bed skirt.  So while I did this

and she did a lot of this 

We ended up with a new bed skirt.  I bought a plain white single bed pleated valance that had splits at the end so it would go around the bed legs.  As the bed is an antique and is a lot taller than a standard ensemble bed, I added the pink spotty fabric to the bottom to lengthen the bed skirt, and covered the join with pink ric rac.

The antique brass bed is from Ireland and was already over 100 years old when my mum and dad bought it for me.  I had it re-sprayed and polished the brass before my daughter started using it.

Everytime I look into her room, I see it and think, Oh that's pretty.  Does anybody else do that when they make something?

So another project done, and one very happy little girl (and mum).
