Bedtime Story

This whimsical bedtime story inspires imagination,
stirs the adventurous spirit and
fuels wonder with magical fantasy
and a sprinkling of humor!
It’s the stuff sweet dreams are made of...

Each chapter is defined by the changing seasons, the tick of time, unconventional wit and quirky characters: an idea generator that envisions a pile of roadside rubble morph into an inviting boudoir; concrete sculptors that transform the vision into reality; and multitudes of colourful neighbors that succumb to the snooze appeal. A matress not too soft, a duvet rippling in folds and a retro headboard that invites awe make for a spot of fun community gatherings!

Jozi's Yarn Bomb Squad arrived, intent on vandalism. Squares of upcycled knits were threaded into fiber graffiti pillowcases of coziness with calming wafts of perfume from crochet blossoms.

This is a rejuvenating place to let your eyelids close and dream under the foliage of glorious trees, birds twittering, majestic sky and twinkling stars. Even with cars zooming past and game rangers that hang about like peeping toms, bedbugs would never bite in a scene of sublime serenity such as this...

*A few days later, when the summer showers soaked the pillowcases, The Yarn Bombers (code names Heartist and Champaign Queen) gifted the pillowcases to the inspirer of the bedtime story, Johannes.
