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 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!

Breaking it down because oh golly I love this one! Amazing garland made by the ever-so-lovely Meghan aka blufairy19 of coloriffic lore. Little yellow doll from France that I picked up at the now defunt Uncle Jer's in Silverlake. Headboard made by my brother. Top pillowcase made by me from some of my most favorite fabric ever...I cannot recall who made it but it's fairly recent (2011?). The yellow pillowcase is a recent Target find (I wish I bought an orange set as well) and the orange polka dot is a one time purchase from Delia's because orange and polka dots! The red and pink pillowcase  (and the awesome orange quilt) from my favorite partner in coffee and the green was a thrift score. The fun pink and orange patchwork dealio was made by me sometime in 2008 or 2009 with some new, vintage, and repurposed fabrics in what we like to call jek colors. This whole get-up is chockfull of jek colors and makes me stupid happy. And if yer peeking at other parts of the (so very tiny) bedroom the domo was a Target valentine special, the paper flowers were a gift from Susan of West Coast Crafty. The salmon pink shelf was a thrift find that I asked the mister to paint for me. The inside of the shelf has been papered with green scrapbook and origami paper by me. The W was a gift from a student and the blue buddha was a thrift score at fifty-cents. The mister made the bedside house shaped shelves and yes, there are three books on my currently reading spot. They are this, this, and this. I am also reading this but it is in my purse.
