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!

to make.. nesting cubes
from Handmade Beginnings by Anna Maria Horner

***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.

Lovely Liberty of London flag buntings

***Sew a mini scrappy bunting to soften up my photo collage in the dining room.  It really  needs something with soft edges.

to do... paint kitchen


***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.)

Sleeping Bag Tutorial


***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.

to sew... hexagons!


***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?
