Miniature crafting challenge 14:Night time

Dear Readers:

This challenge is about the hours after the sun has gone down: a bed, a lamp , pyjamas or even a pub were some of the given suggestions.

The bedroom I made for challenge 8:"Ultra violet" would have been perfect to fit this challenge but as I was stuck for new ideas I decided to make another bed.

For this bed I followed Kyraja´s tutorial but I made my own headboard.

Any idea what did I use for the headboard?

I know a  bottle of olive oil has nothing to do with beds but its handle makes a perfect headboard. Don´t you think so?

I cut it a little bit ,I painted  it white and glued the fabric to a piece of cardboard.

I also made the duvet, a pillow and some cushions.

My daughter insisted this bed should be for Sadie Fenton. I think she is right. Sadie´s dress colours really match the bedding so she´ll be the lucky owner of this semi-double bed.

I started decorating a room in Cedar Terrace to take pictures of the bed but I didn´t have time to finish it so the pictures were taken on my daughter´s bed.

At first,I thought a semi-double bed was too  big for Sadie but I changed my mind soon.You´ll understand the reason when you read this mini story.

It´s night time and Sadie has just gone to sleep.She is very snug and cozy in her new bed.

She was about to fall asleep when she heard her little sister´s voice:"Sis,I had a bad dream. Can I sleep with you, please?"

Poppy jumped into her sister´s new bed. 

Sadie told Poppy her favourite story.

"Once upon a time there was a little girl called Poppy…"

Sadie couldn´t finish telling the story.The two sisters cuddled up together, they fell asleep and had very sweet dreams.

This will be the last challenge I´ll be able to join at least for a while. I had hand surgery  a few days ago so that means no more crafts until my hand is fully recovered. I´ll keep blogging as I have pictures to upload from my camera to write new posts.

I´m lucky the surgery was on the left hand.

Thanks for reading! 

A big hug!
