Guess who is FINALLY out of school!?
This wonderful thing actually happened last Monday at 1:30, but I've spent the past week getting things organized and taking it easy. I didn't feel like messing with any blog posts, but I'm getting back into it.
Anyway, last night I started getting things ready for my little flower garden plot. I've decided I want it to be a fairy garden this year, so I'm making mini furniture to decorate it. So far I've made chairs and a bed... anybody want to see how? I'm going to show you anyway. ;)
The chair instructions I got from this website that I found on Pinterest. For the bed, I just randomly glued things together based on a Pin I saw and hoped for the best.
For the chair, you'll need:
a glue gun
wire cutters or something similar
some twigs of your choice
a ruler (optional)
Follow the link above for instructions. They are clear and relatively simple.

For the bed, you'll need
a glue gun
wire cutters or something similar
some twigs of your choice
a ruler (optional)
thread (I used good old quilting thread)
moss
1. Cut the twigs. For the head of the bed, I used two three-and-a-half-inch sticks. The foot of the bed were one-inch twigs. The leg braces for the bed were about two inches. The two long sides were four-and-a-half inches.
2. Glue them together.
3. Weave the string around the bed frame. I tied the knot near the head of the bed, then wove the strings in an under-over fashion where the mattress would be.
4. Add moss. Pile it on top of the thread you've woven. You can add a leaf blanket if you'd like, or leave it as is. I made a pillow by folding a leaf in half and stuffing it with more moss.

Aaaaaand that's pretty much all I have to say for today. What did you think?
See y'all!
