Oooooo! Loves! and Thank you!

Thank you all for your tender remarks on my last post. Payton was born yesterday. There was a knot in his umbilical cord right next to his navel. My heart hurts for his family. Thank you all for your prayers and kindnesses in their behalf. Our hearts were further saddened by the passing of a dear neighbor in our area. She has struggled with cancer for the last 2 years, and yesterday, on her birthday she lost the battle. Once again I'm so grateful for my Testimony and knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

It's the month of "LOVE" and with that in mind I decided that this month, I would share some of my loves with you.

I'll start with my bed. The Mr. made our bed. (you are about to see a sight that not many eyes have seen....and it's plenty scary!)

This is underneath my bed. I wanted it built so I could store things under it. AND there certainly is stuff stored under it! LOL There are two cubbies on each side of the bed. I don't have a box springs, just a good mattress. It was tooooo tall as it was, even with a stool on my side, I didn't want the extra height. The bed skirt has to fit on the frame, and not the mattress itself. (poor unpainted bed)

My daughter and I started the headboard, and the Mr. was kind enough to finish it. See that door? I love old doors! I love this headboard!!! I know it's not my "usual" style, but I care not. I love this bed. We are going to be moving our bedroom upstairs when we are done with the remodel, and we are going to have to cut the headboard down. Can you believe it? It's too tall for the walls up there! #2 daughter said she would gladly take it off my hands.....

......NOT even! I know some guys who could help her build her own though.... :-)

So...What do you think of our headboard?

I fell in love with this quilt the minute I first saw it, but didn't get it for almost 2 years.

And after I got the quilt, I didn't put it on my bed right away because I didn't have a bed skirt. I looked everywhere to find one that I liked enough, and just couldn't find that elusive item.

The next best thing was to make one. One day I was in the TS, and there it was, the bed skirt of my dreams. Except it was too short for my bed. I lucked out and found another one I could live with, and sewed them together.

Here it is on the bed frame. (the unpainted bed frame) and then below, with the quilt over it. I love it!

BTW....the quilt pattern is the RED FEATHERED QUILT and is from the victorian Heart Company Inc.

What do you "LOVE" at your home?

You should share you "LOVES" with us!
