Demmlet's Abode

The east facing window draws in the morning sun.  Light green walls, wood floors and pine trim  accent the local art on the wall.  Inside the crib, dresser and changing table are quilts, hats, sweaters, blankets, booties and moccasins; all made by our loved ones and friends.  Their generosity still overwhelms me!  Even the mobile is hand made.  The cradle was built by Amy's father.  The flooring was installed and walls painted by Amy's moms.  My parents gave us the dresser.  The books, not to mention the lamp to read by during the long winter nights were thoughtfully given by countless friends and family.  





The baby's room is complete.  As with everything that goes with homesteading, it took a lot longer than expected.  That doesn't matter, our "nest" is ready for the little Demmlet's arrival.  It may be early, however, I am already convinced in the validity of the old saying "it takes a village".  Thank you!!!
