Hello and happy monday to you.  Hope you had a good weekend.  Mine was full of tasty comfort food (beets, pasta dinners, and creamed brussel sprouts ), a bit of socializing, as well as a few episodes of Big Love thrown in for good measure. Now for a new week....I hope it's a good one. D and I are doing a weekly yoga challenge -- yoga every morning this week. Wish us luck...we can use it.

I'll be back soon with some new sewing projects I'm excited to show off -- I think my motivation to sew might be returning.  I've been in a sewing slump for a while now. Maybe my desire to sew this weekend had to do with sewing while listening to good music? This and this have been on heavy rotation around here.

Until tomorrow...

whoooo? whoooo?

 

I finished this cutie owl pillow last night...just in time. it was a special order and I think it turned out quite lovely. speaking of just in time and finishing things, I had a really productive Sunday (kinda feeling proud of myself for that). I've found I can get just about any project (or projects in this case) done if I crank the music and get all jacked up on black tea (I'm not really much of a coffee drinker).  yesterday, iron and wine was the music of choice. I can't seem to get burnt out on Sam Beam.

also, I just added three log cabin pillows to the nest section. I love each of them making it is sorta hard to put them up for sale. here's a pic of one that's available.



and before I go, I wanted to post a couple of links to great stationary I've ran across lately. I always love getting paper goods for xmas, so maybe you do too.

for all the bike lovers out there.
something for the modernists (this is actually on my list).
and for the botanists.
