{ho-hum} Patchword parade

Time and energy seem to be disproportionate to inspiration and motivation in the winter.
So while I have the time, I have no motivation.
I hate it when that happens.
It seems like whenever I am pressed for time and energy, I get explosive bursts of creative ideas and I just want to be in my studio making art.
But this weekend, (with Friday = snowday bonus) I haven't made a single thing. I've tried looking for inspiration, but I just want to be curled up under a quilt.

So I am taking the week off from blogging to try to gather up some mojo and hopefully I will feel inspired again soon.

On Wednesday I will have another inspiration parade for you. ;-)

For now, I've got a lovely collection of quilt and bedroom pictures from We Heart It. Enjoy!

Thrifting the weekend away.....

Last weekend was so nice! Well, it was rainy and foggy...but I stayed up late crafting and slept really late...I also got some great finds at thrifty shops around town. Here are some of my favorite finds:

This owl was gold...I turned him green...lime green...isn't he so cool!!! I am still trying to find the perfect place for him.


These owls are going in my bathroom...on a shelf...they will look so cool in there!





Okay...I have wanted to create some spray painted birds every since I saw the idea over at Rachie's Place. Read more here.



In addition to all the cutie birds, I also found a box of vintage fabric at the flea market.....for $10...these are my favorites:

I already used that green polka dot stuff on my colored pencil sketchbook!

But there are tons of them....perfect for practicing my new sewing skills....

...and she even threw in some really cool quilt blocks!


Well, I hope you are having a great weekend too!!

A few sweet cards for you!

I really fell in love with that corduroy fabric that I used on my apron...I had some scraps left over so I decided to sew it onto some cards...a few are Valentine cards and the rest are jut for fun. Enjoy!!
