The sun is shining brightly this chilly morning.....but I think rain is on the way!
Guess we better enjoy these days when we can....it is still Winter!!
Well.....I came up with what I wanted for over the bed....finally!
One of my sweet blog pals....Loretta over at "Under The Wild Cherry Trees" Blog suggested on one of my posts that I put a blanket crane over the bed.....I had to laugh when I read that because it was kind of a thought I'd had....but I still wanted a shelf to display a few things too!
So, after some searching on the net....I found one that was a crane/shelf combo.....
I liked it quite well....showed the two choices to DH....then while I was gone running errands and checking in on my cousin that had a stroke and her parents (my daddy's sister is her mom) I came home and bless my DH he had made three blanket cranes!
Two were like the one's Kris over at "Simply Prims" had made & shown a tutorial for a while back and the other was the one with the shelf!!
Wow!! He had it painted for me and all I had to do was finish it out.....
Here it is!!!

I'm lovin' it!!
I have since changed the arrangement of what I have on the shelf.....I added a neat tin light and a boxwood candlering....like the one's I have on our selling blog "Backwoods Country Primitives Furniture and Goods" and added a couple other things too!
I PLAN to have the pie safe ready to move in this week.....I hope!
The painting is all done....praise the Lord! All that trim was a JOB!!
I did it all by myself too!
Still need to stencil....but it's so hard to find the time....
I am expecting a new customer today and readied the shop for her and hopefully more!
Took all the Christmas things down and packed them away....then had to do some re-arranging from that and where we had taken pieces to another shop to see how they'd sell...
I'm so grateful to say we've already sold a small sidetable/drysink piece, a candle paddle tray, another wood dough/noodle board tray, a three drawer cubby and a candle!! Just since Thursday afternon there!! I sure think that we're off to a good start and I pray it continues!
I have got a couple more things to do before my customer arrives.....so I'll say til' next time!
Have a great day!

What a guy! I love it. I've never seen the shelf version of the crane, but it's wonderful. I'm anxious to see the finished room. It's going to look great.
