Nesting.....

I have finally finished all of the sewing projects I had wanted to do for Ari's toddler bed. I finished the quilt and pillow sham a while ago, but wanted to use extra fabric to make a bed skirt.
But.... I got sick, and tired, and busy! aka -pregnant
Also, my dearest Ari, in a fit of rage (yep he has those moments) or possibly out of boredom- Ari decided to "hammer" the side rail of his toddler bed. It's made from a pretty soft wood and left some awesome knicks and scrapes. Nothing a sander and a new coat of paint can't fix- but in the meantime I hated looking at it. Also, Ari has recently gotten in the habit of "needing" to have a ridiculous amount of things with him at bed time.
Right now he requests:
Tag jr
Tag jr books (like 6 books)
Puppy dog night light
Light sabre (doesn't every little boy need one of those to sleep)
Regular books- these change daily usually 3 or 4
A gun - yep he is all boy!
Anyway he "needs" all these items and then throughout the night we hear little thuds coming from Ari's room- at first we thought it was Ari getting out of bed but no it's just him tossing his "needs" on the floor.
I wanted to make a little organizer that I could tie to his bed rail and cover up the knick marks. It took me a while but I finally finished.
Of course in true Ari tradition - he hates it, so it's going to take a little getting used to. His exact words were take it off, I want it all on the floor.
*I have no expectations of Ari keeping his "needs" in his organizer, but I am excited to have a place for it all so I can have a place to keep all his "needs".
Now I can finally get started on all the baby girl projects I have brewing in my brain.
