Feathering my nest

7.18.2011

Having a happy morning, drafting patterns and stacking fabric, when I discovered that I had created a little fabric nest for myself.

Found myself obsessed with this fabric combo. Will make something lovely with it, soon, I hope.

Fabric stacking soundtrack. The music also serves to distract me from the neighbor’s noisy pool, which is mere feet away from my window. Ah, suburbia.

Realized that I had the perfect spot to store/display my colanders. Happy kitchen colors! Now, I just need a rug to match…

It’s the middle of July, 90 degrees outside, and I’m drinking homemade hot cocoa. Life is good. (Gorgeous quilted placemat by Jolene, from the SUTK swap)

And speaking of feathers…look who decided our hanging fern was a nice spot for a nest. Sweet mama dove is really braving it out in that nest, it gets so hot there in the afternoons.

Happy nest feathering to you!

  3. Jill, I'm sorry. Once I laid eyes on my first colander, I was hooked. It's an illness, really. The photo shows fewer than half of my collection, and I can't rest until I find the perfect raspberry colored colander, which may not exist.
