It is snowing outside, and although the weather forecast says that we will not get as much snow as NYC, it is really coming down out there. The winds are gusting and the snow is coming quickly.
I chose a favorite movie to listen to while I design Spring pillows.
I didn't know that David Bowie gave the introduction in the movie, The Snowman. I shared the full version, so why not get a cup of hot cocoa and watch, while the snow falls outside.
I was so excited when my pillow designs were also available in a rectangular (lumbar) shape. The Rectangular Pillow is a lovely companion to my square pillows.
They are made from 100% spun polyester poplin fabric. These "Lumbar" pillows feature a double-sided print and are finished with a concealed zipper. They include a faux down insert, and are available in small, medium and large sizes.
Small 17" x 12"
Medium 20" x 14"
Large 25.5" x 18"
As an artist, shapes speak to my designs and I find inspiration when I am offered a new product to hold my artwork. I feel like someone just gave me a new coloring book and crayons.
My Cape Cod Hydrangea Nosegays will be a nice combination with my square pillows.
I just sold my first Daffodil Rectangular Pillow on my Etsy Shop, French Script. My customer is from Pennsylvania, so I think she might be dreaming of Spring, like I am today.
Well I am back to work designing as I listen to The Snowman and watch the snow fall outside my window.
I just opened the front door and took this photo. I know they are saying that Boston is only supposed to have an inch of snow, but it looks pretty powerful already out there.
Have a beautiful day and keep warm. Just think when the snow stops. we can go outside and build our own snowman.
until we got the sudden weather report earlier this week that a Blizzard was on it's way.
There have been years where we had tons of snow. I think that they are predicting several feet of snow. I love to memorize Winter Enchantment. So, I have my camera ready for the next few days.
I just came back from the supermarket, so there is food in the pantry.
While it storms, I have some new projects that I am working on, like needle-felting landscapes. It's painting using roving, I just started collecting samples on a Pinterest board.
This was my first attempt. I will be taking a class in April and I have been practicing, so the snowstorm will give me a chance to practice even more.
We are creating a Grandson Retreat for the little blueberry, RJ. I searched and searched for ideas for a little boy's nursery. Here are some designs I created for the wall decal, fabric on the throw pillow and framed print on the bureau. So, I have a few more things that I would like to make before the unveil. We put a twin bed in there along with the crib and bureau.
I have been collecting ideas for decorations for a graduation party. My daughter Sarah and her boyfriend Mike are both graduating in May from College. They wanted to give a graduation party together, since they attended the same University. So his mom and I are busy creating for the party which will be held in June. This is the invitation I designed for them.
If we lose power, I can still needle-felt by candlelight. How about you? Are you expecting Mr. Blizzard, or are you one of those people who is somewhere sunny and warm?
