I am trying to ease myself back into being creative.
I've been working on Eggs for Shara's swap.I think this might be a purple year for me after all.
And I finally made Jack a new place mat. He had a plastic one that was doing the job of protecting those wood countertops, but I threw it in the dishwasher and warped it. He said it was making him spill his milk so I tossed it.After he got paint ALL over said countertops yesterday I kicked it into gear and made him a new placemat.
I had forgotten a few things. 1 - quilting takes a long freaking time! Even on a placemat. (There is quite a lot of quilting, but it's hard to see in my crappy photo). 2 - Playing with print and pattern in fabric is fun! And 3 - the shhhhhhhhh shhhhhh of the needle passing through fabric is cathartic.
Last, but not least, Jack choose a name for the heart to heart giveaway. Congratulations to WENDY!
I love your glittery eggs. Such a pretty color. Emma's soon-to-be bedroom is a pale purple. Keep up the craftiness. You're such a good mom making a quilted placemat. I'm pulling out all kinds of Easter crafts this weekend. We've got a another snow storm here in MI and I need spring NOW!!
ReplyDeleteOoooooo, purple glittered eggs! Yea!
ReplyDeleteLove the placemat! I can imagine an aqua bowl of cherries sitting on it. That would be adorable!

Love the new blog header and lavender background. I think this is a sign that more of this color needs to come into your house. Bring on lovely luscious lavender!!
