MaryLynn's Bed

After Kaitlynn got her doll for christmas Ryan said something about making MaryLynn a bed.  Kaitlynn was all over that project.  Between her enthusiasm and Ryan's need to try out his new saw, they had a bed built in couple of days.  Next step was to paint it.  I now have a few small spatters on my new carpet downstairs.  Sigh.  






After the building and painting were done then I stepped in to finish off the job.  Kaitlynn measured, cut, pinned and sewed.  She really did a wonderful job.  



We used some old fabric I had.  I was really pleased to see how well it went with her bed.  


This is one happy doll in her custom homemade bed.  Kaitlynn is working on embroidering MaryLynn's name.  She wanted to make a pillow with her name on it.  We have one more pillow to make for the last finishing touches.  


It was fun to share our hobbies with Kaitlynn and it didn't hurt that it cost us a fraction of the price of a real doll bed.
