nurturing hope, creativity, family
many things. Mostly little things.
Today it’s a little stack of freshly cut fabric.
Really pretty fabric, I might add. I’m so excited to turn it into a new quilt!
I’m hoping for an early bedtime tonight…
What brought you happiness today?
My vintage blue jars have found a new home on the mantel in my bedroom.
So far I really like them there. Every time I walk into the room, the beauty of that spot makes me feel happier, lighter. I love the way the colors all work together, the aquas, white, and cream. The vintage frame used to hang above our bed. I like it’s new home.
The child sized blue chair is one of my most favorite vintage pieces. It’s getting a little rickety, so I rescued it from my children to keep in my own room. I think it’s happier there.
Doesn’t it just make you feel like spring might actually arrive? It does for me!
I’m excited to pull this room together and share the whole thing (that is, if I can find the time to finish it and if the sun will come back so I can photograph it).
Either way, I’m loving my jars!
Two new pieces of fabric arrived in the mail.
They’re from the Girl Friday line by Cosmo Cricket. It’s fun to see so many scrapbook papers licensed for quilting fabric and this was a line I wasn’t familiar with until my awesome sister gave me a heads-up. I think this fabric has been out for a while, but it’s new to me. I was able to find some at the Fat Quarter Shop .
I’m so excited to use these prints, especially the lined one. I’ve got embroidered love notes to my daughters dancing in my head… this will be the perfect thing!
I’m curious, what would you do with it?
