making the bed: 2012

In 2012, I brought back making the bed with a so much purpose I created a new bit of art each month. It kept me crafty, creative and sane. Here's to 2013! The new january bed photo will be up as soon as my lens comes back to me. Not taking pcitures is trying and no, I don't own a smartphone...or a tablet...or an ereader. Just call me old fashioned you know...or funds challenged.

 I was late on pulling it all together but here ya go, the november bed! Featured are two new to us pillowcases from Stacey and a fantastic quilt from Tara. How lucky am I that my friends give me vintage linens?

the february bed

 

 

 

 Eeps! It's the last day of February and I finally remembered to post pics of The February Bed, you know, the one in the tiny casa. I have no idea what I am going to do for March. The mister and I are leaving for L.A. tonight and I'm feeling a smidge under the weather. I am also feeling utterly defeated in the crafty job realm but I'll save all that mess for later...or not. Happy Leap Day!

the stand-in for the february bed

 I have yet to take a picture of the February Bed and being that I spent a good two weeks down at my brother's, not to mention that he is the guy who built my bed, I thought his would make for a nice stand-in. He even said I should take a picture of it. 

 

 If you thought my bed was nifty wait till you check this out. Mine is just an awesome headboard, his is the whole shebang. Four posts, crystal door knob details, iron work and scalloped wood all has me swoony-swoon-swooning.

  I'll get you a picture of the February Bed at home later but for now, enjoy!

**if you live in the Los Angeles or Pasadena area you can order up a headboard from this guy...he's awesome. Yay for recovery!
