World of Love
Yesterday was one of the longest days ever.
Waking up at 5:30 am and going at full speed until 11pm.
We started a new preschool, we had dr's appts. errands beyond errands to run.
It was go go go and at dinner time I sat and decided to pick up my hook and yarn.
I worked on it in between making dinner, tending to the boy and doing laundry.
Every time I would sit this would happen...and then again later.
Seems not only do I love this yarn, so does my fatsy.
I had a blogger ask the other day if it even gets cold enough here to use an afghan...the answer is yes and definitely when the air conditioning stays on freezing :/
I love curling up with a blankie in the evenings to watch tv. It is the best way to end the day.
Now back to the title of this post.
I have been cleaning out supplies and stumbled upon this little vintage dress. I instantly put it in the laundry and thought I need to make something with this.
So my hands went to work and laid out some pieces.
Little muslin sacks stamped with birds make the best little pockets, a vintage original photo tacked in place, paper ribbon flower garland and a crown to top it off. But the best little saying that I have been holding on for years. I have had this even before I had a child of my own. "A World of Love Awaits You Here" so sweet.
I think this is just a wonderful addition to a new nursery.
It will be in my SHOP tonight.
What have you been up to?
A lot of you have been saying I got my creativity back. I say it was my body not excepting caffeine for the longest time that put me in a grand funk. Now that I can partake in the beverage and chocolate again, I feel a zing for life and creativity again. Boy I have missed it. I am thrilled to have it back. I did go through the same creative depression when I was pregnant, so I should have linked it together, no caffeine = no creative inspiration.
Somethings are just meant to be together in life.

Totally agree about the lack of caffeine....it's actually supposed to be good for you! So drink up!
I love your creative little dress, so darling. One of these days I'll get back into my studio....one of these days.

We had an overcast day that was just lovely...windows open with a cool breeze.

I agree, i have to have my coffee of watch out world. Love your art dress, it's precious.
