Riot and Frolic

Sometimes, I don't write mah blog for the people, I write it for myself.  Like resolutions and goals and to-do lists, maybe if I write some ideas down, they'll actually happen.  So, let's pretend the following project is going to happen, shall we?

The older ladies share a bedroom and sleep in a bunk bed.  I kind of adore their room, probably because it has all four walls intact, is painted, and has a decent-looking hardwood floor.  And a tree fort. 

I finally got them coordinating sheets for their beds and it's just all adorable up in there.

And yes, owls.  Owls are everywhere in this house.  It's a little creepy.  Because have you ever seen a real owl?

not so cute, more creepy

I mean, they can turn their heads all the way around.  Doesn't that happen in The Exorcist?  (And no, I will not link to that movie, because that would require looking up that movie in a search engine and I don't even want to see images from that flick because of the eventual nightmares I would have from seeing them.)

I digress…

The sheets.  

V has a cute matching comforter, but Mae Cake does not.  And because I'm crazy, I want to make her one.  

I figure it'll be mostly decorative (as opposed to practical) because no matter how cold it gets, that girl never sleeps under the covers and just has them mashed up underneath her, body pillow-style.

I looked through my stash and found these complimentary colors…

why do i have so much yarn?

But I'll definitely head to Michael's to grab some of these…

GAH!  SO PRETTY!

I want to do something relatively easy, with no "pattern" per se, but maybe a few rows of a simple stitch in each color with a row of these crocheted flowers  every foot or so.  

HOW AWESOME WOULD THAT LOOK?!

Really awesome, people.  

maybe he crochets
