My Savage Son

Since many of my sewing projects are for my little one, Sophie, her pic makes it to my blog quite often.

However, I don't usually make clothes for my son. He doesn't need any. He's my savage son.*



*He's not really my savage son. I just can't sew bigger people stuff yet. So I buy him things like candy and Zanybandz.

Twin XL - sucks

You might remember Sophie's bed. It's beautiful but it's still in the closet. It's an XL twin sized bed. We thought about cutting it down, but I don't have the guts. Heck, I already ruined it's value by painting it.

So, we're going to buy a twin xl boxspring and matress.


Dilemma #2 - bedding.


After many Google searches, I've come to realize that fashion and interior designers do not design bedding in the size of twin XL. What's the deal? Are tall people not good enough for you? Do they break all the Feng Shei rules? Or did you just not want to waste all the good fabric on longer beds?


I'm totally bummed. I've found a few sites with some sets but most are for college dorms. Not for precious young toddlers.

Sophie's room is painted Benjamin Moore's Crisp Green





And her room is highlighted with bright pinks, green and teal.

Welp, here's what I'm thinking. Anyone have any other ideas?

These two sheets sets I found on PotteryBarnTeen.com. Thank heavens I have a gift card. I'm leaning towards the pink paisley.






I found the skulls at twinxl.com. Rad! But not for a toddler.





Target has this bright and light pink reversable quilt. I'm leaning towards this over a blah comforter.



I found one XL duvet that I liked but it was $99!!! PLUS, I'd have to buy an insert. Whatevah!
