Little jobs
October 29, 2009
In my creative space this week:
A pile of prints ~ Destined to be my very first teeny weeny quilt for the smallest poppet’s December birthday. It’ll go with a little dolls cradle that I’m repainting.
I think these fabrics made up in this style will be so cute. I’m just waiting for my copy of Patchwork Style (ie: moral support in a book ) and I’ll dive right in. Yikes, did I say December?!
Yummy catalogues ~ They’re underneath the acorn munching squirrels and are the yummiest I’ve seen in forever. Freshly delivered… actually forget the ‘freshly’; I’m pretty sure if something is posted 2nd class from the UK it has spent time trudging over the Himalayas on the back of a disgruntled yak. Anyway, it finally arrived. The styling and photography is gorgeous! One quick flick through the pages and all yak spit on the packaging was forgiven. Ahh Toast! Contented sigh!
Plans and schemes. ~ We are planning a move in six months and the whole flat has to be tarted up. I love this palette. The grey background in these shots is our couch and I’m thinking that zingy mustard could be the perfecto cushion colour. Cushions don’t scare me. I’ve made them before but now Lara has posted this, it should be a total cinch.
And sketchy birds. ~ I haven’t made up my mind on what to put on the cradle ends; but birds have been the frontrunner so far… although butterflies may be making a come back, unless of course dinosaurs burst forward from the back of the pack… Oh, lets face it, it’s still anyone’s race!
Be sure to head on over to Kirsty’s for gazillions more fabulous creative spaces and crafty people.

The quilt will be stunning. The fabrics you have chosen are so beautiful. I especially love the little squirrel one!
Love your bird too. I think I’d bird the cradle. It will look beautiful

The doll’s cradle will be adorable! I love those fabrics you have chosen.
I’m loving grey with yellow at the moment, in all my time decorating it never came into fashion… My hands are itching to do a display with those colours!
I have also been tempted by Lara’s tutorial. I need to get me a zipper foot.

Your sketchy birds on the cradle end would be totally adorable, but I’m also partial to a butterfly or dinosaur. Sorry, that’s not really helpful at all now is it.

Your pics are looking amazing. Even more so than usual. (Did you get a chance to read that camera manual after all?)
I love those fabrics too. Great colours
