to make, to do
Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night and experience a moment of crystal clarity? Suddenly your mind starts racing with a million ideas, all of which seem positively FANtastic at the time? The other night I tossed and turned, but mostly in a good way, my mind churning with things I wanted to make or do. Of course I could not go back to sleep until I jotted the ideas down. So now I have a list!
***Make these fabric nesting cubes with my friend Heather. She has some great fabric for the project and I'd love to help her get started sewing for her baby.
***Sew a mini scrappy bunting to soften up my photo collage in the dining room. It really needs something with soft edges.
***Paint the kitchen "spring linen" peach. Quick, while my husband says it's OK!
***Make a bouquet or two or three of fabric roses. Because somehow I've never yet made fabric flowers. Do you think they'd be pretty or silly?
***See if a friend from Florida might be like to come up for a visit and paint a mural on that big blank wall behind my piano that looks quite a lot like this Anthropologie wallpaper. (Yeah, that one's a little far fetched, but remember, it was 3 am.)
***Make Aria sleeping bag like Liam's in Heather Ross' soon-to-be-reprinted unicorns. Fabric not expected until July though...
***Plan a homeschooling road trip for next spring. Because, if I'm going to take so long getting pregnant, I may as well use the time wisely.
***Consider a new hexagon project. Now that my dress is finished, I can start a new English Paper piecing project totally guilt-free!
Well then, time's a-wasting! What's next on your list?
