DIY fabric ornaments.
A couple of months ago, Chris came up with a solution that works really well.It’s not only sturdy and effective at caging in our little wild animal, it’s also pretty too!
So here he is with his tutorial for the baby gate made from an old crib!.A few weeks ago we posted a Christmas Home Tour to showcase the Christmas decor around our house.As is common here at The Creek Line House, at least one picture inadvertently revealed a little of our ‘reality’, that is, reality of life with 2 young children.
Let’s play spot the baby gate:.Luckily this time, our reality generated a little interest and we received a few requests on how we salvage-DIYed our baby gate to cover such a large opening.
This is a tough one to put into words and the success of the project – as with most salvage projects – is incredibly reliant on your access to the appropriate recycled components, but let’s give it a shot anyway:.
For our DIY baby gate we used the 2 long identical sides from an old disassembled crib.pretty entertaining, if I do say so myself.
So I wrote to them to tell them that I was fine to go ahead with the no photos thing, and maybe if we could just do a few sparse illustrations here and there as visual cues for flipping, that would be perfect.And then I didn’t hear from them for three weeks, so I just assumed that was what we would do..
So, I was kind of enjoying all of the quietness on the book-front and getting back into thinking about focusing all of my efforts on my blog again, kind of stressing over that crazy title, kind of stressing over whether or not they were going to make me re-write the whole book, and just not thinking about the photo issue at all.But mostly just trying to enjoy the quiet.
