Liberty of London

In the midst of an unruly number of projects, holiday shopping, birthday planning and vacation preparation (not to mention that I can’t walk across a single room in my house without stepping on a bead or tiny toy), I’m thinking about spring.  Perhaps this is a form of escapism?  But I’ve had these Liberty of London fabrics stuck in my head all day. They are very expensive, but I’m thinking of Easter dresses now. I’ll need to hone my sewing skills a bit because it’s a different ball game when you’re working with fabric that’s $35 a yard. But aren’t these embroidery hoops such a nice display? I keep running across this image from PurlSoho.  Ahh, I love fabric!

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Not at my house, but definitely everywhere I look these days.  So today, thanks to Melissa, I’ve been thinking about crafty wreaths.  Here are a few nice ones that I’ve seen.  This recycled sweater wreath (pictured above) from Viva Terra got me thinking about fabric wreaths.

This wreath from Syd and Goose would be great re-interpreted for the holidays.  Just some stuffed fabric tubes braided?

And I especially love this Mayan Worry Doll Wreath from Mayan Traditions:
