A long time ago I used to make dressed beds so thought that I would post a couple of pictures here of the ones I still have. I used to love making these but the lovely man who used to turn the posts for me became ill and I have not made another one for many years. I still have a couple of sets of posts left so maybe one day I will get around to making more. May even find a new maker for my turned posts if I am lucky.
This bed was draped with beautiful red velvet curtains which are lined with gold silk This is one of my favorite beds. |
This is my very favorite bed made with ivory silk. |
This is a close up of the interior of the bed |
Here you can see the draped more clearly. |

My dollhouse has arrived. Not opened it yet as it is a present and I have not officially been given it . Well it isn't my birthday for 3 weeks . I am very excited and am making lots of plans. I have cut large pieces of mount board the size of the rooms so that I can plan where particular items are going This is a really handy way of doing it.
