I feel like I have been doing a lot of this lately...dreaming instead of doing. I believe that it's partially my broken sewing machine's fault, partially my budget's fault and the rest is just because I have been so...well...careful with my time I guess. I don't want to bore you with the details of that right now because today is about my day dreams! Dreams for valentine's day prettiness, hopes of getting some of my Sadie's scrapbooking done and most importantly day dreaming about a future room I can't wait to make true.
I NEED A SEWING MACHINE FAST!
There...I vented and now I am back. Having a little girl makes for one awesome excuse to use pink. If I wasn't so obsessed with blue lately and trying to please my pink hating husband I would paint our entire room pink (jk). It's Sadie's room I can't stop thinking about and I can hardly stand it! I get butterlies just thinking about it. This can't be normal. Anyway...Let me show you what's been floating around in my head, keeping me up at night. I know. I have issues. Mark reminds me of this every time I end up on the computer late at night searching for that inspiration and motivation to create.
I love these colors...all of them! I love the little scalloped details and the soft look it has to it. So, I have started to collect fabrics that I thought would be perfect. I have not found them all yet but I do have a pretty good start just staring back at me as I drool. I really want to sew!
Here is some of my collection so far. Blues, greens, oranges, but mostly pinks! I was just drawn to the fun pink patterns.
I wanted to do her walls this pretty light aqua blue color with some sort of tree on one of them and then I found this picture and tutorial on how I could do it myself! Crazy huh? Isn't it so cute? I sound like a teenager talking about an outfit but I really love this idea!
I can't wait to try this! I think I'll add some little pink buds to the tree though. Have any of you done this sort of thing before?
Then I created this play kitchen for Sadie which some of you have seen on my personal blog. It has an old vintage feel to it and my hope is to carry on that feel throughout the room without making it feel grandmaish. I love how it turned out.
Today, when I saw this picture my mind began to race...
Wouldn't this be cute on curtains? Not the sweatshirt, of course, but the fun details: the ribbon and the embroidery and the vintage looking flowers. Yikes! I could go nuts thinking about this. I literally get more excited about ribbon and fabric and frilly fun things then I do on my own birthday or for Christmas morning. I might have more serious issues then I thought. Do they have obsessive creative therapy?
Well...that's enough for now. There is more...there always is but I will save it for another time. Pink just has a girly effect on people. It’s funny how this color has such a feminine connotation. I'm just happy I am a girl and I don't have to pretend I don't like it!
Oh! And there will be a pretty pink chandelier hanging over head.
