Movin' On My Mind
I guess that is why I haven't been posting. Somehow it's already Wednesday? Sheesh. I have been packing, selling books, and trying to find various home accoutrements all over town. Finished stenciling the back of the chair cushions, so that is one project down. I think that today I will pack my bazillion teacups and find fabric to make these floor cushions (warning: pdf. also, free amy butler pattern!) out of. I sort of want to sew everything for the new place, though I realize that this is not really feasible or aesthetically desirable. J says that it is a waste of beautiful fabric to make something like a laundry bag out of it, but I am not so sure. I mean, do I really want to look at a boring blue canvas thing from Target when I have to lug it all to the basement, or do I want to be soothed by the harmonious tones of Amy Butler? I know that it is a bit extravagant, but do I really need another dress? Well, yes, but that is not the point. The house needs dresses too! Um, you know what I mean.
Also, I taught the first session of the Crafty Planet shirt class on Sunday! It was really fun. I hope I'm not leading these poor ladies astray with my cheater sewing skillz... Their shirts look really good so far, so I think they will pull through in spite of me.
Ok off to pack some dishes.
I leave you with an Evil Squirrel to brighten your day.

I think even your laundry bag should be beautiful to look at. It makes doing those boring chores a bit less boring:)

I agree! I do like doing laundry... though I wish it didn't eat up so many damned quarters!
