  • Hi. I hope you’re doing well. Everything is so strange. I’m good with staying home - if they had a staying home Olympics I would win. And this is a lot even for me. I feel confined and NYC is tense. But there are buds on the trees and my big plan today is to sew in bed, read a giant victorian novel and make soup. I hope your Sunday is cozy and peaceful too. onward, ann
  • Of course they need a bedroom too, a cozy escape from the trials of the day. There a lots more on my blog - a wire bed DIY and tips for making mini chandeliers. If you make one I’d love to see - use #mousehousediy
