Here is the updated photo of the "Surprise" progress...I think polka-dots are out, bugs and flowers are in! Hopefully, I'll finish the cute embellishments finished this evening so tomorrow will be polyurethane coating time!I am really getting excited to do the little creative touches on it...the artsy-wannabe side of me frequently gets placed on the back burner, to motherhood (which really is probably a good thing, considering how time consuming it can be).
Then when I'm at the beginning of a project, such as this, I find myself hesitating to jump into it, knowing how much time and effort it will require. I keep looking for this enormous block of time with all of the right conditions, until suddenly I have no choice but to take the project on...forgoing perfect, timely parameters! Then, once I'm immersed into the project I get this lovely euphoria of little fuzzies that make my creative juices spark to life! Little memories of doodling with my Grandma Dilworth, practicing for hours on how to draw an eye or a perfect curl of hair, come back to me. I'm transported back to those carefree days of youth where I can day dream of princesses and lands far away...very soon I'm certain my little Popster will stand in our playroom, pan or cup in hand, and too will, drift off to the world of play where she is the prefect mommy, serving up a tasty meal for her little ones...

It's looking good!!! Can't wait to see it finished. Poppy will love it! Piper got a kitchen a few years back and let me tell you- both of my kids still play with it daily. It's a great thing to have. Plus all the fun playfood you can get with it too!!!
I like the green...It will match your kitchen!
this is awesome! it looks fantastic- she will be so excited. i like the bugs and flowers theme- now that i see the paint, that seems perfect. i am so creatively challenged that i love seeing other people do this (i get to live vicariously!).
I think popster will like it better when she is 3. You know me and toys, I always get something a little too old! However I am getting a little better, at least I look for an age on the toy. Did you know(of course I bet you know) that 95-99% of toys are made in China? I'm going to look for made in the USA type toys but that may mean no toys or homemade ones. Well its a good thought anyway. Don't hold me to that one. Its very rainy here and a bit on the cooler side. Nat has gone to the library to get one of her great cds. Something like deep space 9. Its good for her to veggie on the weekend.
