A Beautiful New Bed

Having decided to put together another house I have been looking for furniture to fill it. It's a rather back to front way to go about things as the house is still 'flat packed' but it's typical of me and I enjoy the shopping!
This fabulous bed I bought from Eileen who makes them and sells on Etsy at My Life in Miniature.

It needs bedding and I started by making this crochet cover in soft cotton thread.
This is going to be short and sweet as it's late and I made a resolation this year to go to bed earlier. So far I've done well and been in bed before 1am most nights!
Sleep well!

Patchwork and Bedsteads

Today was Dollshouse Club and Oly came to my house where we sat at my desk, sewing and gluing, and sorting through our stash. I started a new patchwork, something easy on the hands because yesterday I started making an 'Iron Bed'.

This is as far as I got. I drew a pattern on paper, sellotaped the uprights to the paper to keep them still, then twisted and twirled wire - easy? Yes, fairly easy to make one scroll but very difficult to make another match. Then to make four or eight that all look acceptable and something like the same - not easy!
When I went to bed last night my hands, wrists and arms were aching! So today I did miniature patchwork and gave my hands a well earned rest.
We have rain, rain and more rain here so it's been nice to cosy up in my workroom with a good friend and play.
Thanks for calling in!
