Noticing : :

I was really excited to read that so many of you are loving the tangerine and teal as much as me. My hubby even noticed the stack and commented that they were "nice." YES! Pillowcases here I come! Finally. I've been hoarding my Outfoxed with hopes to turn them into new cases for us, but since my stack from yesterday has a few in there, I think it's meant to be! I already have a lampshade that will match perfectly, too!

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?
