Each year I like to begin the process of making again {after the break} with a new apron....It is the one thing that is always with me each day. It keeps me clean, warm and protected from flame and chemical. I love my new apron this year....a heavy cotton {almost denim type material} with striped in colours like lime, grape, heather pink and scarlet. Each colour is slightly 'off' the norm...which I love. This is, by the way....my 150th post. :)Some links that I am loving....
::Yayoi Kusama and her crazy, wonderful world of colour and art....I especially love her stuffed pumpkins...
::Philippe Cramer...I admire this man because I know how hard it is to make one discipline work for you...never mind furniture, ceramics, silverware, jewellery and glass all at the one time!!....
::Klippan's fabrics and textiles have me oohing and ahhing this week....love the table linen especially.
:: Carol Ann Wachter's clothing designs are so beautiful...I especially love her looks for fall.......her work was brought to me via Montmartre's Sketchbook, a blog I am enjoying immensely.
:: I have just ordered one of these...and am so excited about it coming. Can you guess why that might be?? ;)) [yay!!!]
Happy Monday everyone!!....later in the week I hope to have some new pieces to show you that will be going up for sale in the shop {Valentines Day approaching and all ;))}
