Yesterday, I made my first birthday crown orders of the New Year and I'm finally getting ready to re-list them in my shop. While I "worked," I took notice to a few things myself...
-- My little studio collections. I guess I have never shared all the different things I do collect here. There are quite a few indeed, but that deserves a separate post. These are my clothespins, spools, and some of my needles. They looked so nice yesterday sitting in the sunlight.
-- How much I love my new Anke Wechmann calendar. I should probably open it to January, eh? It's just so pretty!
-- That I subconsciously match my surroundings. alot. And I'm not sure if I do this before I begin working and choose fabrics to match me? Or that I know what I'll be working on/with, so I dress accordingly? Either way, it definitely, accidentally, always happens.
And today, I plan to make some major progress on my Scraps Quilt. I haven't touched it since Friday night when it looked like this. I was trying to catch some pretty light coming through my favorite window, but I'm sad to say I missed it.
My new plan is to make 9 large 20" x 20" (ish) blocks. I will be quilting as I go since they'll each be different and so very, super scrappy.
I'm hoping for a great sewing day! How about you?
Have fun!
ReplyDeleteDear Maureen, your studio looks so inviting and I love that block! You have been busy these last days - or perhaps I have been because missed few lovely scrap posts!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week! x Teje
Everything is so pretty, especially that window! Wow!!
ReplyDeleteI am about to start converting my junk room/office into a creative quilting/knitting/crocheting studio. I love seeing yours and talking about colors since I have not made that big decision yet. How many projects do you have started? I just realized that even if I stop right now I will probably never get the projects I have on my wish list done. And I'm not stopping! LOL
ReplyDeleteI love your sewing room - can you come decorate mine?!? I love mine too - but yours has this wonderful, relaxed, vintage vibe that I am loving. I am going to probably head to the fabric store and pick up some Kona white today to finish up my current quilt that I am working on. I can't finish completely until I can order yardage for the backing and binding.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I absolutely love your birthday crowns - they are adorable!
Funny how your clothes match what it is you are working on! :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this peak into your space, Maureen.
ReplyDeleteI know the pillow cases will be gorgeous! I love seeing the details in someone's crafting space. That is where the personality of the crafter comes through.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab idea with the crowns, and giggling just a little at matching your sewing area! Looking forward to seeing the scrappiness :o)
ReplyDeleteThat window is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThat scraps quilt is really awesome, it marches to the beat of its own drum! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos of collections! The scrap block is pretty, with nice warm colors. I sure wish I had that gorgeous window!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! I'm so in love with that window, can I move in with you?! ;) Fabulous block too!
ReplyDeleteoh, dang! Temptation got the best of me and I just bought that calendar you have photo'd! So SO cute--sorry to be a copycat, but yay for me!!;)
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric! I'd probably make myself a cute tote bag or purse because I love fun, whimsical fabrics.
ReplyDeleteAs to your little quilt, it is very nice but to my eye lacks texture. Perhaps that would be a thought for you.
Keep creating! Brenda
