The Almost Finished Product!

Ta Dah!!! Here is the almost finished dresser - I ran out of fabric so am waiting on more to arrive and then I can finish the 3rd shelf.

I am so happy that I decided to do this, it was a lot of work but am so happy with the result. I will be shuffling around some of the pieces I have placed on the dresser, as my hubby has spoiled me and bought a huge wooden buffet for the dining room for Christmas...I can't wait!

Will upload another pic once it's finally completed...now for the next project!

DIY Queen? Almost!

Am I DIY Queen? Not yet, but I think I'm well on my way!

I'm ecstatic with the way the dresser has turned out with a coat of paint, I'm only doing one coat because you can still see the lines in the wood through the paint, which is the effect I was looking for.

Phase 3 - hubby needs to cut my mdf boards tonight and I'm going to cover them with a little bit of wadding and then my gorgeous fabric - I can't wait!

Little Puddles will be at Sugar & Spice childrens market, St Alipius Parish Hall, 78 Victoria Street from 9am to 1pm. I should be spending tonight getting ready for a fabulous day tomorrow, but I can't help myself, I need to cover the mdf tonight! I'm too excited to get a sneak peek of the finished product!

I can do it all, can't I? I'm sure I'll find a way!

Hope to see you tomorrow!

Phase 1 - Complete!

Well, phase 1 of my dresser refurb project has been completed! I've emptied out the dresser, painted the undercoat and am now eagerly awaiting tomorrow to paint it a lovely soft calico colour. In the meantime, hubby is going to be cutting some mdf, ready for me to cover in a GORGEOUS piece of fabric I picked up a little while ago. I'll upload photos soon but to give you a hint, it has gorgeous shades of pinks, blues, greens and white...stunning. I bought this fabric ages ago but couldn't bring myself to use it on just any old project. Perfect for the dresser!

I'm also spending this week preparing for the Sugar & Spice Market in Ballarat to be held on Sunday, from 9am to 1pm ~ location to be advised, please see my facebook page for more updates (www.facebook.com/littlepuddles). It will be an indoor market, so never mind what the weather is like, come visit us and do some Christmas shopping!

A new project...

I am embarking on a new project...this is a gorgeous dresser my mum gave to me and I've decided that I want to make it more of a feature in my house. So I''ll be stripping it back, painting it, and putting in some feature panels.

Stay tuned for more pictures and progress updates coming soon. If you have any tips or hints, please comment below - I have a feeling I'll need them!

Little Puddles at Fairy Floss Markets, Williamstown

It's been very busy here at Little Puddles HQ! We're lucky enough to be booked into markets every single weekend up until 13 December...FANTASTIC!

Last weekend we were at Fairy Floss Markets in Williamstown and had such a lovely day. We launched the new MaeMama Headbands which were very popular with the mamas, as were the MaeBaby Headbands ~ we even had some requests for matching sets for Mama and Baby... so cute!

On Friday 19 December from 5pm to 9pm, we will be at Ss Peter & Paul's Primary School Twilight Market at the Community Centre corner of Beverly and Leeds Streets, Doncaster East. Please come and join us, it will be a fabulous evening of shopping and the weather is gorgeous at the moment!
