to celebrate, well, make your bed! if this is not your habit, perhaps doing so will cause you to discover the joys of bed making.  other ways to celebrate "make your bed" day might include washing the bed linens or changing the linens to refresh the bedroom decor. look through catalogs, magazines or online store sites and enjoy browsing the variety of bed linens. what would you select? would it be similar to what you already have or would it dramatically alter the look of your bedroom? do you prefer a particular type of sheet? maybe you'll discover something new! share your "make your bed" experience with the whimsey project. 


i won't just make my bed, i will wash the bed linens and then make the bed! sheets. when flannel sheets were first available i thought those would be grand. however, i did not find them to be grand. sleeping encased in flannel caused me to roast as if i were in an oven! knit sheets aren't quite as heat inducing, however, regular cotton sheets offer the best sleeping comfort.  there are plenty of beautiful spreads, comforters, quilts that could cover my bed and i have several in the linen closet. they are in the closet because nice bed linens and pets do not mix.  i enjoy looking at them on the shelves! i prefer pets to fine bed linens.
