Life's Better at a Gallop: My Nest

Olive Tree did a post on her nest, so I took up the idea. A nest is a place where you go to cry, smile, write memoirs and stories, read, and other things. My nest, though special to me, is not really unique...it's my double bed. :)

I love my bedspread - it just reflects my personality so well. Above my bed, I have a stained glass window, which I can turn on todouble as a reading light! Cool, huh?

On the left of my special soft reading chair cushion thingie - I think it's also called a boyfriend pillow ;) - you see Iceberg the polar bear, Pickles the puppy, Suds the sheep, whom I sewed myself, and my two Webkinz, Cally and Ruby Belle. I don't do Webkinz anymore - my pets expired a couple years ago and I had started growing out of it, but I kept the stuffed versions because they are so cute :) On the right side of my pillow, you see a folder for my writing snippets, my notebook, and a big stack of books that I'm reading at the moment.

What's a nest without a cat to share it with?

I usually have more stuff on my dresser, but I sort of cleared it off for when we paint my room. You can see evidence of wallpaper on the left side of the photo. :P

Terrible picture of me. Eeeggh. And I never smile while I'm reading - this is just posed :)
