Hammocks and Beds

 

My melons are growing 

up a trellis this year . . .

 

so I'm creating little hammocks

to cradle them as they grow :)

 

 

 

The other day I found this 

red and white polka dot fabric

on sale for $3.99 a yard.

 And decided to make bed skirts

for my twin beds.

 

 

 

Then I remembered that I couldn't

make them until I raised the bed height,

something that I have wanted to do 

for two years. 

So out to Steve's shop 

to look for wood.   

 

 It's amazing how one little job,

leads us into more than we 

expected, but I couldn't do all

that sewing and still not be 

satisfied with the height of

the beds. 

Four inches made a huge difference.

 

 

 

I'm happy to have both jobs

done and behind me . . .

 

And I'm delighted with the new 

height, the bedroom looks so

grown up now.

 

 

 

And ready for guest.

 

Two decorations that are in

this room that I love

are these vintage pillow cases

on this old antique hanger,

given to me by a dear friend.

 

And these two pieces of art

done by our granddaughters

back in 2011 when they were

4 and 5 years old.

 

 

Thanks for visiting . . . 

and for being such 

lovely blogging friends. 

 

God bless you all!
