making the bed: a preview

Today is a day where pretty colors and linens were needed. I splurged on these birdie sheets from The Company Store. They were quite spendy but...birds! I call them my pandemic sheets. I need to flip them around so those birdies are not upside down!

reading in the pink room

I did it! I cleaned up the pink room enough to get the bed clear and happy bedding put on it. Now I just want to stay here all day and read.

Hmmm...with this awesome pile of books, and those pretty vintage sheets, I think I just might!

the february bed {super duper late}

I never got around to editing the photos and then I had to find them! Zoinks! I made the pink cross in the same style as the cloud, though this time I stitched the patchworky piece to a linen napkin from World Market. I love that it turned out almost exactly as I imagined it would. Yay!

p.s.
Happy Easter!

the march bed

I was doing laundry today so had many piles of clean laundry on top of the bed. As I was making the bed pretty again after folding it all I realized I never took photos of the march bed and then I realized I never posted photos of the february bed. It seems I really have lost my blogging mojo (other than the capsule wardrobe which I am just finding really embarrassing right now). So here ya go, the march bed with garlands made for another march bed back in 2013. The last two pics taken with the camera phone...february bed photos coming as soon as I am able to find them.

the bed in review 2014

This year was a bit busy and the beds were a bit late but all in all I have to admit I made some pretty pretty beds, didn't I? I also have to admit I kinda miss the white walls of the second tiny casa. Shhh...don't tell the mister, he had to put quite a few coats of paint ot cover up the sister a-go-go's orange walls.

the january bed

Same pillowcases as last year. Maybe even the same bedding? I have no idea where that happy wreath is hiding and I looked or it. But then I saw that Target still had these snowflake ornaments half off and then again at 75% off so I scooped 'em all up. All season long I would see them and I would pick up the snowflakes, trees, and stars and then I would put them back because even though they were only $3 for two I could not justify the spend and of course, I couldn't just get one set so when I happened to be in the store and there happened to be a small clutter on sale I swooped in because they are perfect! Are they not?

The last bed of 2014, can you believe it? I thought I would make a garland with the wood snowflakes but only picked up one pack and have stolen away more than a few for a preschool project so instead htye are taped up to the wall with washi which may or may not take. Sometimes things stick for the entire month while other times things fall on our heads in the night.  That's why the bulk of the taped stuff goes over my head as I won't even notice in my sleep.  The top pillowcase was made by me, the two peachy/pinky cases came from Target and the printed white cases are thrifted vintage. The quilt was a gift from Ms. Za, the yellow Vera throw at the foot is the flipside to one of my wonky patchwork pieces and the lap afghan was an estate sale find in Oklahoma purchased from the dear sweet gal who made it back in the 60s. The tiny bell garland was made by me as was the retro tissue tree. The tinsel? The tinsel is retro in color and purchased from either Target or Anthropologie years ago at an after Christmas sale. Phew! Merry Christmas Eve and a Happy 2015!
