Weekend Recap

While I got alot things on my to-do list done, most of the big projects I had to finish aren't quite there yet.  I'm giving myself a break and blaming it on the fact that my final portfolio for my drawing class is due this week.  Excuses, yes I guess so. But in my defense that was on my unwritten to-do list.

I did manage get back to the fabric store to pick up some fabric that was haunting me.  One of those things that I passed up the first time I saw it and had been haunting me since.  Don't you hate when that happens?  I was so happy it was still there!


It reminds me of the pillows in this pretty room



I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and finished lots of your own to-do list items.

    I'm so glad you were convinced {or forced...ha!} you had to have it if you'd been obsessing! It's just as gorgeous in person. Excited for the other one too. Awesome trip to the fabric store :). Still LOVE my pillows. thank you. thank you. thank you!

    There's nothing like drawing a line through one of your action items. I completed a huge task this weekend when I painted my guest room. Amazing Gray by Sherwin Williams is a dream come true.

    Ooh it does look like fabric in those rooms. It looks so similar to curtains my Grandma had way back when. When she died I actually took them because I loved the blues in it and plus they gave me the warm and fuzzies.

    Have a great day!

    I love that room too, and the fabric you chose it darling!

    ps. I'm wondering how the Wonder Bar is working out for you??? I've been itching to try it, just wanted to hear about it first. :)

    I love how a giant pile of magazines actually looks good in this room!

    Love the fabric. What are your plans for it?

    I would say drawing class is a great excuse:)
    This room blends the prints and fabrics together beautifully.
    Have a great start to your week!

    Isn't it the BEST feeling to check things off the to-do list!? I checked a few myself today :)

    I make lists. And then I get coffee stains on the list, so I make a new list. Then I don't like my handwriting on that list so I write another list. So yes. I too am a list-maker.

    Hey Kate, I dont have any info on it, there is actually no name printed on the edge like some fabrics have. I got it at Freddy Farkles fabric showplace in Watertown, MA. Sorry I dont have more info on it.
