Their time together read like a history text.
All that creative gravity
that comes with war-
disagreements-
and red tape.
Book-ended
with
the quiet peace
that comes when you finally stop reading.
Picture taken at the Cyprian Garden in Second Life -- Model is Astrid de Manyet (portia.swords).
This one is from the archives. I took this picture for my Mom's quilting portfolio. Before she died, my Mother made a quilt and pillows for me and my husband. She made it entirely by hand and it was the first quilt she ever made. She even quilted her name and the year on the bottom left square. The quilting is done in hearts. I can't even count the number of hearts (they're all about an inch tall. It's an amazing piece of work particularly for a first time quilter. It took her two years to make - I know it was a labor of love and I'll cherish it forever and pass it down to my niece.
A bed made of walnut-veneered board, with legs hidden far underneath, to make it appear that it is floating.
Colour rendering beautifully acheived, scale of patterns good, nice to see some shading under bed - helps to ground it. Slight concern over velvet trim may be a bit heavy with the silk. Presentation excellent. 20/20

The first room in my house to finally be decorated, my guest room used to be my mother's bedroom. She didn't live to see it like this, and never even got to sleep on the bed because she had to use a hospital bed at the end. This is a tribute to her, nonetheless.
The entire room was designed and created by me. I did the wall painting, the coverlet, bedskirt, pillows, curtains, swag, runners, and chair pad. The art on the walls are two paint by numbers my mom had done back in the 1960's when she tried to quit smoking the first time. Had she succeeded then, she would still be with us. Somehow, it seemed fitting that those pics should be hanging in this room, and I was actually surprised that they went with the decor.
The runner on the top of the dresser looks really blue in this pic, but it is a silk look in turquoise, which is in the print, and also used in the pleats on the bedskirt. The bedskirt and curtains are a yellow and mint green pinstripe. Behind the bed, on the floor by the lamp, you can see the top of a really cool, handmade pillow I found at a thrift store! It is some kind of religious figure, and looks Mexican or Puruvian. The swag is not complete yet. It went up as an asymetrical treatment (longer on the right than the left,) in order to cover an old traverse rod that just wouldn't come down! The gap between the swag and the curtain will be filled with two runner like panels, also done in the turquoise, probably.

Our new beds. They're bunkbeds from Costco that mommy and daddy said maybe one day we'll actually stack on top of each other.
It feels like a hotel in there with the white bedding...only I don't have housekeeping to come in every day and make the bed for me :(
Thanks to Matt Haswell for the chair bed and thanks to my neighbour Peter Urey & his son for moving it from being completely stuck halfway up my stairs.
Tried to take the legs off FAILED even with aid of electric screwdriver, spanners, allen keys & will power.
lovely new 'brazil' bed got delivered yesterday, bought from a company called warren evans. all their beds are hand made and are put together without nails and screws.
they also donate beds to people who have recently re-housed themselves after being homeless for whatever length of time.
i had a lovely nights sleep last night, my new bed is so sturdy and lovely.
Today, I took Janice to a medical facility for a same-day procedure, and she ended up staying the night. With multiple sclerosis, a person just doesn't know how well she'll bounce back after general anesthesia. Janice should be fine tomorrow.
Anyway, the bed she's sleeping in has auditory signals like a voice that declares, "Brake is off!," plus visual symbols projected onto the floor.
When the brake was off, the first and third symbol, visible in this photograph, blinked red.
Of course, a photo had to be taken.
