More toddler sized seating

I've decided that Phoebe and I need to host playgroup more often.  Nothing gets you more motivated to clean the house than the thought of other moms coming over to your place to inspect your housekeeping hang out.

Well, this didn't have anything to do with playgroup, but it is one of quite a few finished projects that I have finally checked off my list.  Isn't it nice to be able to spend your tiny bit of free time making things instead of cleaning?   



I saw this tutorial over at The Mother Huddle and knew that I had to make one for Phoebe.  She just loves Phoebe-sized furniture, but kid furniture is so darn expensive.  Why the heck is that anyway? 

I won't take you step by step through the process (the tutorial does an excellent job of that), but in case you were wondering; I got the bench legs at Home Depot, along with a board that I cut down to 9"x3' for the top.  The fabric is part of a tablecloth from Target that I stalked until it finally went on clearance.  Sure the original price was a steal at only $15.99 for an entire tablecloth worth of fabric, but everyone knows that if you bide your time and go to Target every other day for a couple of months, you'll eventually get it for only $3.24.

My daughter decided that she was not in the mood to model it for me today, but she found a willing stand-in.
