Listening the song, What'll I do.
Blankets pulled up and comfy cozy in bed, I keep my trusty laptop nearby to read interesting things, watch a movie or design things.
I watched The Butcher's Wife on Netflix on my computer. If you haven't seen the movie before, I highly recommend it, here is the movie tailer to watch. Of course it is completely magical. Oh, and the reason for the song What'll I do for this post is...it is sung in the movie.
I have watched that so many times, but this time with more interest. The character who plays the wife is from a remote island off the coast of North Carolina. So cool, it's called Baldheaded Island, and you have to take a ferry to get there.
So, I am doing what I did as a kid when I was sick, including coloring. Only my coloring always involves fabric designs.
Spoonflower was having a weekly contest where they ask you to design something with restricted colors. The contest votes will begin on Thursday. I enjoy seeing what the challenge is, because it gives me a deadline and inspiration. This week is coral, mint, black and white. I entered the French script one: French Coral Roses with French script.
But my favorite one is called Happy Roses and Dots.
I needed a happy design to make me feel better. And my designing continued with a few more designs in this collection. The colors started with just four for the original design, but quickly became eight, as the design inspiration kept expanding.
I keep thinking what a happy quilt this fabric collection would make. I love a challenge and it always leads to so many more fabric inspirations.
Speaking of happy, here is my grandson, Brayden.
Sunday is Brayden's birthday party and I must get well, so I can help with the party plans. What a difference a year makes in a little one's life. Well, stay warm and healthy and dream of when the Hydrangeas are in bloom.
