I mentioned before that I was working on a coverlet for my bed. Well, meet the inspiration! I think there’s something so “bohemian granny” about a crocheted blanket for a bed, and a chevron one really modernizes it for a current style.

I’ve subconsciously been craving one of these blankets, which is obvious by the last photo in this post, and by most of this post! Fortunately, it occurred to my conscious mind that I really need one to complete my bedroom restyle. So, I’ve been spending many hours working on a queen size coverlet (I used this video to learn how.) that measures 100 inches wide. I think I have my work cut out for me, eh?

I’ve been loving the roundups of Christmas decorations in the homes of Bloesem Readers. If I had more spare time, I might even go all crazy woman in this apartment and pull out even more decorations! Well, at least I can store away the ideas for next year.

Okay, so I know I already decorated for the holidays, but I have been loving the festive decor I’ve been seeing pop up around the interwebs. I got to thinking… I really don’t have much vintage or kitsch in my seasonal decor, and I love to have little smatterings of fun things here and there. I might have to raid my mom’s stash of reject Christmas decorations!
