White Wednesday

I'm back!

During these past days I didn't do much,
the last storm
(it's funny how this year we can actually count our So Cali storms!)
kept me inside the house
with no other fabric than burlap to work with....

It could be worse, I guess...

Burlap, stamps...
and some yummy coffee later...

and I got a couple of pillows done!

Not much, I know...
...specially after such a long break,

...just enough for a little loveseat...

A little summery for this time of the year,
but I can't wait for a change of weather...
I just hope my Country Roads customers feel the same way I do:
A little summer in the middle of January
never hurt anyone!

White Wednesday

For a few days my mind was

completely blank,
completely empty...

Tired of waiting
for Creativity e Inspiration to hit me,
I went out looking for them....

After several attempts
and lots of coffee and TV,

I started to see the light...

The fact that I didn't want to miss
another White Wednesday,
made me force myself to create something....
And I must admit,
I'm happy I did!!

How do YOU deal with the unexpected
lack of inspiration?
Do you wait for it to come back
or do you go out looking for it?
I'd love to know!

Vintage Inspiration

The old grain sacks that we all love so much

were the vintage inspiration for these
cute,
personalized,
little pillows I made...

A little softer than the original material,
mine are made of linen,
but with the same charm
and in a budget!

All initials available...

you can order yours with 2 initials if you prefer!

$12.00 each, including shipping in the USA.

I'm back!

My Getting-Ready-For-Finals time came to a stop yesterday afternoon.

When my little brain just couldn't get any more
colors,
lines,
measurements
and mistakes!
I decided to give my little brain a little break...

No, I didn't read...

because when my little brain
needs a break,
my hands get to work....

So I used the leftover sweater featured HERE
to make this cute pillow
just so I didn't have to miss another
White Wednesday!

I feel much better now!

I need help....

professional help!

The other day, Suzan from Old Grey Mare told me I should consider calling
"Ruffles Anonymous"....

Yikes!!
I think she is right!!

"My name is Marcela and I'm Addicted to Ruffles..."

Well Ladies... I guess it could be worse!!

White Wednesday

I started this project with no plan at all...
no idea of what I was going to make.

But I thought that 2 rows of fluff looked good...

and knew that 3 were even better...

The fourth one got me thinking...

and by the fifth one I couldn't stop...

The sixth one just proved it to me!

So much wonderful fluffiness out of one vintage drape panel...

Things sometimes create and evolve into something else all by themselves....

and I'm just glad to be around to help them do it.

Thank you Kathleen for hosting another fun White Wednesday.
