Linen Napkin Quilt ~ Bedroom Set...

It's crazy what evening boredom can do...

Yes, I was bored a couple weeks ago, so I dug through my material stash. I drug out some linen, monogrammed table napkins, a few yards of really thick flannel I got on clearance for $2.59... Two polyester banquet tablecloths, a linen, monogrammed, table runner and a set of vintage lace curtains received from Wisconsin...

And... 

A pair of sharp scissors~!

Yes, this girl...

Just for the pure excitement of getting away with it~!

(=

Oh... 

My mind does wander... 

Especially when the sun is setting...

And, there are 'vintage linens' to whack up~

redo and re-sew...

Like this linen table runner that was folded in half, stuffed and crocheted around the edge for a really, upscale look that cost me $2.00.

This blonde mind  comes up with some crazy ideas~

Like sewing 2 vintage, linen, table napkins together. Stuffing them with pillow stuffing and crocheting around the edge for very expensive looking, small throw pillow that cost $0.50...

Then, this bored blonde made a bedroom set 

out of eight, linen, table napkins...

Some thick, clearance flannel...

Pieced together strategically on the kitchen floor...

Some old vintage lace curtains... 

~that arrived from my best friend in Wisconsin~

 And, two polyester 

banquet tablecloths from my Grandchildren's baby showers 

for the ruffle and backing...

A couple hours at the sewing machine...

Add some vintage and antique cut work and needle lace throws

to the bottom of the bed...

(Throws = tablecloths ~ shhhh ~ don't tell the natives...)

Some massive, "Hand Carved Russian Pine Furniture"...

(How do I move all this furniture to paint these ugly walls soon?)

And well... 

You end up with something beautiful ~ 

Even though it doesn't match the rug real well...

(=

I'm going to let you in on a secret, besides the ugly color of my bedroom walls that will be a beautiful ivory color soon...

Please don't tell anybody... 

But I have a fan light stuck up above my canopy on my beautiful bed.

It wasn't suppose to happen this way, but it did... 

And, now I don't know what to do about it?

~It's embarrassing~

*blushing*

The good news is that the bedroom re-color is starting soon...

I think this room has needed a good paint job for about 35 years~~

Hey, I've only been here 2 years and let's face it, 

I've had a lot of work to do just to make this place livable for a girl...

So, hopefully soon, I will get a solution for the 'fan light' problem'...

Actually, that's a fake ceiling obviously. It's been dropped down about 4' trying to preserve some warmth in this room. This room is FREEZING in the winter because of the rock walls - 

It really makes a person contemplate taking the time to move the ceiling back up just 2 more feet, to give the canopy top a little breathing room and then, maybe put a support up there, to hang a chandelier on a chain in a really pretty corner I'm working on in here, where the "Oohh La, La Chair' now resides? 

But, the tv is in the way still, so I refuse to show you today...

(=

It will be beautiful when it's finished...

To match the new 'Shabby' pics I acquired a couple weeks ago.

 

So, stay tuned~~~

It will be a testament to my 'will power' to get this done.

And, my strength moving all of this HUGE furniture...
