We shall see, but for now, I am totally in love with my pouf from the Zazzle website!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Its an exra seat, a footstool, a side table for a tray with tea. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So many possibilities!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Use at a wedding shoot for a lovely bridal perch, or in photo shoots to display product, or a very comfy seat at your craft and sewing room work table. </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">(my current use)</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Also would make a </span></span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(11, 83, 148);">fabulous, durable seat for a children's play room.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I am creating several versions for my LilyOake shop on the Zazzle website.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The sides are pink and white wide stripes with the same rose bouquet while the base is faded basil green gingham.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Best yet, the polyester canvas cover is removable and washable!</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I am continuing my love affair with wallpaper and have stepped it up a notch by choosing a jumbo-sized print for the spare/2nd bedroom in my tiny Virginia cottage.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">EMALYN in aqua is my choice - a slightly different blue then the one I usually use but I felt it would work best in the NW room where its not always the brightest.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">This aqua blue also reminds me of the glorious summer days spent at the beautiful beaches of Virginia, where I recently moved.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Nothing but wonderful memories to carry me through the winter months!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I splurged and bought the new chaise by Shabby Chic, in pool velvet (a heavenly shade of pale minty green on a soft, low-pile velvet). But because I am a fur baby mama, I need to be able to wash everything because of cat hair and an occasional barf, so I prefer slipcovering my furniture.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">And slips work out so well!! I can freshen up anything with one washing.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I prefer the linen cotton canvas by Spoonflower because its a pliable, soft canvas that is durable and washes well. I also love the look of linen and this delivers on all points!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Emalyn will also be the fabric I use for the curtains (also in linen cotton canvas).</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I'll coordinate the floral print Emalyn, with a soft aqua and white stripe (MERLE STRIPE). It will edge the curtains and be the custom piping on the chaise slipcover.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Aqua gingham and an aqua toile on white will also sneak into the room on various accessories.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I will begin the work after the new year - need to get through the holidays first, but the planning is part of the fun!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Any projects planned for January?</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I love Jane's Rose Bouquet in faded blueberry.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It was the pattern I chose for my old Seattle cottage dining room.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I decided to use it in my new bedroom too. Then I can recycle the gorgeous curtains I'd made to coordinate with it.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So far one wall has been completed - need to put a bed together and organize my boxes of clothing before I can hang the rest around the room.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">But what fun I am having and how gorgeous the room will look when its all done!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The clock was a Goodwill find. It was dark stained, hand made and plaid when I found it.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I added ormolu and painted, gilded the clock.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The interior is lined with a soft blueberry and white rose paper I decoupaged on.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I need to change the battery in order for it to work but who cares if its not keeping time? It works wonders for my soul, for its beauty alone. lol</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I usually add color to my rooms with flowers (whether fresh or faux) and accessories.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I know pillows are accessories too but I had always chosen blue and white pillows too, not wanting too much alternate color changing the mood of the beach blue rooms I was creating.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">But now in a smaller home with white slip covered furniture, and a need to find homes/new uses for several pillows I pulled from my ETSY store stock, I decided to use them in my own living room.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'm so glad I did!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">They added a new life to the room and actually enhances the blue and white I already had going on.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Now I realize the full potential pillows can make in a room!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I think the burst of color through my floral pillows (even though my color ways are pastels) can bring a sense of romanticism to the room.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The pillows are in linen cotton canvas in the pattern ROSEWITHA on peony pink, aqua, or basil stripes. Its a favorite look of mine, flowers with stripes.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I also experimented with one yard samples of other patterns, tossed over the back of a chair.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Harald Check in peony and Bridal Suite in buttercup.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Both lovely and possible choices for future slip covers!!</span><br />

What kept me there was a great paying job (although I was bored to death with it), and of course my house, many wonderful friends and familiarity.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>I had been in Seattle 33 years - my entire adult life.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>The only memories I had of living anywhere else were childhood memories of growing up in rural Wisconsin.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>But I decided at one point in the past two years that I needed something new, something challenging.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>After my last relationship ended, it became clear I didn't have the heart to continue to do what needed to be done to make ends meet in the expensive housing market Seattle had become.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>I had tried hosting students, roommates, working 2 or 3 jobs at the same time - all had benefits but also major drawbacks.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Then I realized it wasn't just the high cost of living in Seattle that was making my eye wander, but the fact that I was actually bored there too.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>I know, its still a beautiful landscape nestled between 2 stunning mountain ranges, on the Puget Sound. And the city, growing in leaps and bounds, has become way more exciting.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>But I never was a coniferous tree person, I rarely took the ferries or hiked the deep wood. The ocean was a long ways away, it rains all the time (the grey drizzle does get to you!) and I rarely got downtown where the excitement was happening.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>I seemed to have either outgrown the city or it grew away from me.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>My romantic, floral art seemed to be passed over for industrial, retro coldness and lack of soft colors.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>I enjoyed participating in art studio tours in my neighborhood and developed friendships within the art community I really cherish. But my style was more traditional, southern and romantic.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>So the day came when I decided to be brave, courageous and adventuress and take that leap - sell my cottage and move on to new experiences.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Leaving behind friends (whom I still text/chat with frequently, as I did when still there), and a job that was not always comfortable or guaranteed, but had become boring an tedious.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>And leaving behind familiarity of how the PNW worked, the people interacted and the weather patterns.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>But also leaving behind a dull pattern of living my days had fallen into.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Time for a change before I got too old. Time to sell before the housing market bubble burst!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>After considerable looking, reading and exploring online, I decided Richmond, VA was my target.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Its central to so many cool places on the east coast, has a ton of historical sites to explore, and is still a very affordable place to live. The housing market is just taking off (so perhaps within 5-7 years I can again sell my house for a good profit).</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>But buying a house outright would give me stability and ease of mind, too. No longer would I need to entertain foreign students who take 2 hour showers and belch at the dinner table, or roommates who treat my expensive antique china like paper plates, or work 2 to 3 jobs to make ends meet with a burdensome high mortgage and property taxes.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>So, long story short, a 3000 mile road trip, a great experience with PODS, and a tiny cottage all my own in a soon-to-be, up-and-coming neighborhood in Richmond, I have made the change I so needed to make, to try and spark some new enthusiasm in my life and art.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Of course my first thought was to decorate! LOL</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>So here are choices I have made thus far, regarding wallpapering my new cottage.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>All blue & white, but faded and soft colors that won't overpower the small rooms.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>There's a bit of work needed to the house - the yard needs to be fenced and landscaped and the majority of my boxes still need to be unpacked and put away into IKEA furniture I have been busy building. (woe to my right hand's palm, with the hole worn in the skin from using a screw driver, lol)</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>I took screenshots of the papers I will use for each room.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>They are all available in my LilyOake shop on the Spoonflower website.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>(Fabrics, wallpapers and gift wrap!)</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>As I decorate, I will be posting more images but first the house needs to be unpacked, furniture built and my studio set up - its always the last thing to be completed, for some reason, even though its first on my mind every day when I wake up!</b></span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: red;">My dining room in the last house I owned was papered in Jane's Rose Bouquet with matching curtains in a stripe. Being one of my favorite patterns and having already invested in money and time, the making of the fabulous linen curtains to match, I decided to re-use this pattern in my own bedroom. It will be a soft, lovely, romantic hide away with all white furniture, an electric fireplace, tons of bookcases with decorating and art books and a relaxing corner to read in.</span></td></tr>

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Well, I don't have kids OR grandkids but my oldest sister does and great auntie PK is coming to her rescue with some hand made paper stars, to fill in her empty Christmas tree this year!</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So easy to make - just check out my Pinterest boards under either Creative Pursuits or Scandinavian Christmas for instructions, or google it. I used someone else's photo tutorial and can't figure out who's it is so I won't post it due to copyright!</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I am on Pinterest under LilyOake.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">(you'll love my blue and white boards - in every category!!) lol</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So here are a few paper stars I made using my own Nordic inspired fabric designs, printed on card stock paper at home.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">They are easy to fold and glue. I added a bit of shimmer with fine white glitter on the top creases.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I love red and white kitchen twine - makes for a fun hanger.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I made them in a few short hours while I watched Rick Steve's European Christmas show on youTube.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I displayed these on two fabrics in my cottage collections. Jane's Rose Bouquet on blueberry blue and Imma Toile in sorbet pink, both on linen cotton canvases printed by Spoonflower and myfabricdesigns.com!</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Seattle has been good to me but after all these years, I find myself a little bored, not sure what to do with myself and ready for new challenges and experiences to jumpstart my heart and imagination again.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So I'm turning my attention to the east coast, but faced with a limited budget, I decided perhaps the Commonwealth of Virginia is going to be my new home.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I grew up in rural Wisconsin and always preferred rolling green fields and meadows with old oaks and maples, to deep, dark, cold pine forests and mountains.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I want to be around historical places, to explore and absorb their energies.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I want to meet new people and try my luck at building my cottage decor business in a new territory where the prevailing trend isn't mid-century modern in grey and teals.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">And where I can afford to live!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have no back up income, no husband or partner who helps pay the bills. Its just me, my instincts,talent and my get-up-and-go!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I realize all the challenges ahead of me but I feel I face the same ones in Seattle where I am bored of being.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I view this as a midlife opportunity and I am embracing it!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The one thing I will miss here are my many wonderful friends. But they all travel a lot and I am hoping they will swing by to stay with me a few days on their goings and comings from Europe!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Anyhoo - what I really look forward to, once I find a new cottage to purchase, is decorating it!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">hahaha - what artist/designer wouldn't??</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Its what's keeping me sane and focused through the emotional highs and lows of selling my current home and arranging for a cross-country move with 4 cats and a young friend I've taken under my wing.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have a lot on my shoulders but what perks me up on days when my knees feel like they are buckling, is the prospect of hanging pretty wallpapers, filling rooms with white slipcovered sofas, hanging antique chandeliers and laying the prettiest rugs I've ever seen, on the old hardwood floors.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So here is a sampling of what has been inspiring me, which I intend to use once I've landed somewhere in a simple cottage, in my new life.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">As usual, its all blue & white!! </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">(Although in my new place, I am contemplating wallpapering my art studio in a soft, buttercup yellow damask...)</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">What really gets me excited right now are the new French Blue rugs by Dash and Albert, in herringbones. Both cotton or indoor/outdoor rugs, they are beautiful, quality rugs in a simple, fresh. clean Scandinavian style. The two herringbone rugs are must-haves for me. As soon as I buy a house, I will know which sizes to order. They will be my anchor from which I do all the other decorating around!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Here's a link to the site where you can explore all the gorgeous rugs available: <a href="http://annieselke.com/c/dashandalbert" target="_blank">Annie Selke</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">And for this who want to see my latest cottage-fresh designs for fabrics and wallpapers, here's a link to my Spoonflower shop, </span><a href="https://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/lilyoake" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">LilyOake</span></b></a><span style="color: #0b5394;">.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Its a seasonal tradition around here, in the neighborhood founded by all the Nordic immigrants who settled in the PNW because it reminded them of back home, with the snowcapped mountains, cold blue waters and pines.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Yulefest is a holiday bazaar and craft fair where you can find anything Nordic related, including rosemaling, nordic sweaters, foods, painted Dale horses, straw or painted wood ornaments,woolen yarns and knitted masterpieces, Danish porcelain and even my own Scandinavian tea towels (I was vendor last year!)</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I look for one dealer in particular who sells her beeswax tree shaped candles. I look for them each time, but this year she surprised me with a small inventory of pristine white ones, besides her yellow beeswax trees too.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I think both colors are gorgeous but this year I got a white one. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I love how beautiful they are on a dark, rainy Seattle night when candlelight really brings a warmth to a room.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Shown in white on my mantle with a backdrop of my Kane's Rose Bouquet wallpaper in blueberry blue!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">And in yellow beeswax on a linen cotton canvas tablecloth in my Edwina pattern in blueberry blue.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">But unfortunately it was a burnt orange velvet from the 70's palette! ECH</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Luckily, footstools are a snap to recover or sew a quick slip cover for.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Since I have kitty cats who sleep on everything, I always slip cover my furniture for ease of laundering.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">A slip cover for this was a no brainer.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I wanted something simple but with some feminine gathering, even though I was using one of my more masculine stripe designs, SIGNE STRIPE in pale blueberry and white.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I had it printed on the linen cotton canvas, which sews well and launders well too!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It turned a nicely made, but very ugly footstool into something I can proudly place in any room in my home for use.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Did I mention my entire house is this shade of blue so anything I slip cover will fit in, in any room, as needed!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Saves money and also allows you to have functional, pretty furniture without cluttering up a small cottage with too many pieces.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have always been fascinated by monochromatic paints not only because I can overdose on a particular color I am obsessed with, but also its really easy to work with!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Instead of concentrating on color and shade, you just work with shades, to bring about depth and emotion.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I chose a cobalt, straight from the tube (because its....duh.... monochromatic!). Cobalt also suits my subject - blue and white china!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I also love the crisp contrast and clean, fresh look monochromatic cobalt blue and white gives to a piece of spot art.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">While i was at it, I also created a few European-inspured folksy art florals to use in a new collection of fabric I am working on.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I was in the mood for color, having been influenced by a visit to a Portuguese friend's home where everything is bright, colorful and fresh!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I also love how pinks, tangerine oranges and bright garden greens all mix together.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">You cannot help but smile at the combination.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So I set myself up in my favorite spot, at my dining room table in front of a large picture window overlooking some gorgeous lilacs, turned on some romantic music and just began painting.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">As you can see I also play dangerously...using old teacups as my water dish has caused me confusion on occasions where I am not sure if I dipped my brush into the right cup, as I also enjoy a cup of tea when I paint! LOL</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I put it away in warmer months because there's so much other stuff to do outside AND who wants a ball of hot, wool yarn in their lap? lol</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">There's nothing more relaxing for me right now, in between office work and house projects, then to sit for 30 minutes in the sun on a quiet Sunday morning and just knit.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Here is a current new project, color coordinated with one of my pillows I designed. I didn't plan that, it just happened. hahaha</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The pattern's name is ELVIE in blueberry, printed here on the eco canvas.</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">They featured some of my fabric designs and a brief blurb about what inspires me.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Honestly, I get inspiration from a variety of things, including this magazine! lol</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">But hopefully seeing my work in it, has inspired some other artists out there to go for it and design their own fabrics.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Its such a fun way to further explore art and design and express one's style.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Its been so long since I have posted, I am not sure where to even begin. </span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I think just starting where I left office best.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have endured many changes (most for the best) this past year since I last posted.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have had new experiences and learned a lot from all of them!</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">From escaping an abusive relationship to dating again, reclaiming my home for myself, participating in new art shows, fairs and embracing the welcoming publicity of 2 magazine articles!</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">In the spring I decided to try moving renters into my home.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Seattle has become a very expensive place to live.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I felt like I needed to seek help in keeping the day-to-day expenses paid up and instead of finding a second job (once again), I chose to lose some privacy instead of lose my free time.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">While my roommates are nice people, they aren't necessarily the types I want to live with, except for one person who has become my very good friend and partner-in-crime. A young Persian nicknamed Arash.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">In the mean time, I decided to stop always playing catch up with finances, while struggling to live as a single, middle-aged artist in Seattle, and instead quit the 40-hour-a-week day job that has become tedious and boring, leave the wet, rainy clime of Seattle and head back east for a fresh start and new things to explore!</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">My house goes on the market soon - within a few weeks. I'm very excited about that too!</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The past few months have been topsy-turvy as I gently nudge roommates to move on (and out), and begin the repairs and improvements that will make my house more attractive to buyers.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Its been a steep learning curve for me - learning how to re-do countertops, install baseboard, install linoleum and wood floors and of course, stuff I already am good at, like painting everything in sight a refreshing coat of white! lol</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">But I decided to just post photos of some of the things I have been doing, creatively, the past year since I last posted.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have been busy designing, painting, attending shows and just enjoying life in my sweet cottage as newly single person.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I do hope you rejoin me on my adventures as I close the book on my Seattle chapter in life and begin a new one (probably in historic Virginia).</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Enjoy, and thanks for coming back to read up on my updates and see what I have been creating.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">:D</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>LilyOakehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05977997237071782985noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9223145905591179774.post-35846364184979212882016-06-17T14:24:00.004-07:002016-06-17T14:24:56.536-07:00Building a Swedish Gustavian Style Sofa Frame<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I first fell in love with Swedish Gustavian style in 1989, when I was starting interior design school.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I loved the simple lines, the fresh, pastel colors and respect for light. The style used simple fabrics which I have always felt more at ease with then fancier fabrics that might require one to keep up appearances to a level I did not aspire to!</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">In other words, no pretensions here, I was a small-town girl born and bred, who loves simple florals, checks, stripes and a fresh coat of paint. Cottage style.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">But I also am attracted to a bit of bling in unexpected places, like a bit of gold leaf on the trim of a chair or table skirt.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Swedish Gustavian seemed the perfect fit for my style, which up until then, I couldn't really define on my own.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Its been a dream of mine for years to own a Swedish Gustavian style sofa but up until now, I certainly couldn't afford a real one! I also have "real life" to factor in. (Pets and messy partners)</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I need everything slipcovered and washable.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I began designing my own fabrics a few years ago and have 2 places online where you can find them, to shop.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">OH MY! Exactly what I have been looking for all these years. The "X" back is a very Swedish look and I knew I could take it beyond the outdoor look it had in her blog, to an indoor look that would work for everyday use.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Well, I have yet to get the thing painted (lots of prep involved) but I did get one built, with the help of my ex, with the second one planned this weekend.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">After we get both built, I can begin filling holes, sanding, conditioning the wood, priming and painting.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">My two sofas will end up being all white with gold leaf ormolu in certain places.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">And the seat cushions will be slipcovered in one of my own check fabrics printed on linen cotton ultra through Spoonflower.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I named it "Harold Check" in blueberry. It will be a great neutral print that can travel from room to room should I need to do some furniture rearranging!</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Enjoy the construction photos and check back for more posts as I work my way through this exciting project.</span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">And here are the photos I took of the construction of the Weatherly sofa, made with the downloadable plans off the Ana White blog. The shopping list was easy to follow. I just went to Home Depot after work and bought what she had on the list. She had estimated around $35 in wood - pretty much right on! I was making 2 frames so I doubled everything, plus bought a few extra pieces in a few of the sizes (just in case) and my total was $90. Not too bad for TWO sofa frames.</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I love to design using the same color formula blue (I call it blueberry) so everything goes together, whether the same pattern or not.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It prevents the decor from being dull but its also subtle enough to not overpower the senses.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Here is a link to my Spoonflower shop, </span><a href="http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/lilyoake" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">LilyOake</span></a><span style="color: #0b5394;">, where you can purchase any of my 612 designs on 21 different fabrics, wallpaper and gift wrap!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But Memorial Day afternoon I took some time for myself to sew the slipcover for an ottoman I had found at Goodwill in Edmonds for $5!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It was in like-new condition but was an awful color (that 1970's burnt orange velveteen look).</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That had to change!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Luckily I have been teaching myself how to sew slipcovers so that ended up being an easier solution then reupholstering it.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So after considering my many designs in my Spoonflower shop, LilyOake, I decided to go with blue and white stripes.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There's a strong possibility this ottoman (and the chair I'm pairing it with) will be floaters in the house and it needed to fit in each room.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I use the same light blue and white in each room but in different floral patterns so stripes seemed to be the perfect fabric.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I designed Signe Stripe in blueberry and white, to use as wallpaper, originally. But it also makes a fabulous linen cotton canvas slipcover.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After studying various designs of slipcovers online, I decided I wanted something airy, summery and easy.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So I chose a simple, slightly gathered skirt that dropped to the floor. I did add light blue piping which picks up one of the blues in the stripes (there are 3 subtly different shades).</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As soon as my yardage arrives for the chair, I will sew a cover from the same stripe to make a matching set! (even though that fabulous wide-seat chair was found on Craigslist for $35).</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I provided a "before" photo so you could see what I am starting with, both chair and ottoman.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Here's a link to Signe Stripe in blueberry, in my Spoonflower shop, </span><a href="http://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/4621724-signe-stripe-by-lilyoake" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">LilyOake Signe Stripe</span></a></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It was full of music, lilacs, sleeping kitties, Seattle rain and the hum of my sewing machine in my studio as I took full advantage of the last few days to round out my collection of handmade pillows for my up-coming studio tour on Saturday, April 30th and Sunday, May 1st.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">I'm one of 11 studios participating in </span><a href="http://www.artsnorthstudiotour.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Arts North Studio Tours</span></a><span style="color: #0b5394;"> as studio #2, LilyOake.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'll have 2 talented guest artists in my dining room as well. One a pet portraitist in pen and ink and the other a watercolorist.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">And I'll be in my small studio with my fabric and wallpaper designs.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">One of my favorite things to make with my own fabrics are pillows because they're an easy and inexpensive way to change a room's decor without a huge commitment. You can add some style and color/pattern to any room by tossing one or two on a sofa or in a chair.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have found everyone loves the 16" x 26" pillow size - just seems comfortable! Its the golden rectangle of pillows, I think!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So I made several more this weekend. Fillers are duck-filled and the backs are thick, soft, white cotton with a simple foldover closure for easy removal to toss in the washer.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I staged these on one of my dining chairs made with my May's Rose pattern on linen cotton canvas, sewn into a slipcover.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">And with the clock I've been working on now for 2 months, all completed, I am so excited for the first day of the tour!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Enjoy the images and I'd love to hear from you! The pillows will end up in my ETSY shop next week, so folks out of town will have a chance to order.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">But if you don't see what you want, I have over 600 designs in my Spoonflower shop, </span><a href="http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/lilyoake" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">LilyOake</span></a><span style="color: #0b5394;">, where you can either order the fabric yourself or see what I have to offer and commission me to sew up pillows, curtains, table linens, etc., for your home.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I don't know if the clock will sell but if it doesn't, it already has a place in my heart and in my home!</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Its an easy way to add color and pattern to a table without committing to a full table cloth.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Its easy to change and launder and can be laid down the center, off to the side or on an end of a table as an accent.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">With my studio tour looming close, I decided to wash up sample yards of my precious linen cotton canvas and make them available as tabletoppers. I sold most of them at my last 2 studio tours so its time for new ones!</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">You can use the same filler but change out the covers by season (or not - mine are year-round!).</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Its also a great way to live with a new look for awhile before plunging headlong into a decor flip.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">For instance, I am experimenting adding some pale pink to my all pale blue and white interiors, to add color and warmth.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">So far its working really well and I achieved the look just by using pink floral pillows from my own line of fabrics,available on Spoonflower: <a href="http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/lilyoake" target="_blank">LilyOake on Spoonflower</a></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">With the studio tour a few weeks away, I have had to make some realistically-based decisions on which projects I can get done and which will have to be in the fall tour.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I'm not going to kill myself to get most of the painted furniture done - if I was at home everyday, that wouldn't be a problem. But I work outside my home for someone else, 40 hours a week, which leaves creative time limited, on top of housework, kitty care, a large yard, significant other care, laundry, cooking....and freelance design work too, besides sewing.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">One thing I will try to get done is the dollhouse donated to me by a neighborhood family who were cleaning out their garage and decided it needed to go! It sat for years, unloved and ignored and I seemed the best person who could bring it to life again.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Its getting a new paint job on the outside, with blue and pink WP inside, in every room!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">(I'll blog about that later)</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Meantime, pillows have dominated my world these past 2 weeks. I completed the six heart-shaped pillows and do they look CUTE!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">With Mother's Day the weekend after my art studio tour, I do hope they sell out (what a spectacular gift for Mom!!).</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">But I also did some larger throw pillows for sofas and chairs.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I added two more 20" square pillows and three 16" x 26" rectangle pillows.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">All in cotton linen canvas, which is my favorite Spoonflower fabric!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">So here they are, in all their glory!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I have more yardage on order so I can take commissioned orders and also to stock my ETSY shop.</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>

Studio Tour".</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Here's the link:</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><a href="http://www.artsnorthstudiotour.com/" target="_blank">Arts North Studio Tour in North Seattle</a></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I was going to be hosting a couple different artists but there is always a drop out rate so I'm down to one now, but she does beautiful and unusual pet portraits!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I will feature my fabric designs on soft home furnishings.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Some of the items I'll have for sale include large square pillows, rectangle pillows and sweet, heart-shaped pillows (perfect for Mother's Day).</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Each pillow has a linen or cotton removable cover that is washable.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Fabric swatch covered, A2 sized greeting cards with appliqués and buttons.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Hand sewn scarves in both square neckerchief size or long and thin for wrapping around your neck several times. They come in cottons, silk crepe de chines, poly crepe and poly satins.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Tea Towels in a range of colors and styles, from pastels to bright retro colors! They are 55% linen and 45% cotton, are super absorbent and so pretty, you might just use them for display.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Lampshades in a couple of shapes and sizes. From small barrel shaped to medium barrels, small cone shaped to mediums. Covered in cottons and linen, to match my tea towels, tabletops and pillows!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Heart-shaped sachets in linen, filled with organic lavender from France and Oregon.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Cotton aprons in a couple of different styles, made from retro patterns!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Tabletoppers in linen cotton canvas. A yard of the linen cotton is hemmed and finished, for use as a simple topper for any table. Just enough to add color and pattern over an existing plain tablecloth or over a table that needs some softening up and color.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Framed prints on linen cotton canvas. My watercolor tea pots, cups and accessories printed on linen cotton canvas, in a mat and a white frame. Or my acrylic painted plates on linen cotton canvas, also matted and in a cottage white frame - ready to hang and enjoy!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">If you're local, I'd love to see you there!!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">It should be a warm weekend and I guarantee most of my lilacs will be in bloom by then!</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Actually, it was a combination of many good things all coming together.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I signed my first fabric design contact with a quilting fabric company and did a whirlwind series of designs for them which I am very excited about.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I will post more on that later but did include a few quickie snaps of the photocopies of some of the designs that made the cut.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">And I had 2 bigger/more involved freelance design jobs. One completed and one now put on hold so the client can deal with family issues.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">But the main thing dominating my life and time right now is the next art studio tour on May Day weekend.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I participated in the one last September and even hosted 2 guest artists in my home.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This year I'll host one (2 others dropped out - they'll be missed!)</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Here's the link to this year's tour. I am studio #2.</span><br />
<a href="http://www.artsnorthstudiotour.com/" target="_blank">Arts North Studio Tours</a><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I've included some photos showing the projects I'll be offering up this year.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have so much planned but as the date is sneaking up on me and my time is limited, I may have to forego some of the painted and decoupage furniture projects.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">But I'll be offering up many new linen cotton tea towels, 21 gorgeous cotton, silk and poly crepe scarves (all hand stitched by me), covered lampshades, tablecloth toppers, aprons, lots of covered pillows, sachets and even a few vintage frames with fabric covered bulletin boards mounted inside on cork.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">And of course I'll also offer up some watercolor paintings.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Not to mention, getting the one room the public walks into, further along in the wallpaper process.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It won't all be done by the tour, but I'll have a big part of it papered!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Enjoy the photos and if you live local, please swing by to meet me on May Day weekend and purchase something one-of-a-kind, made by hand by me, using my own fabrics!</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The wallpaper was designed to match my curtains. I have it custom printed by Spoonflower.

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">A big part of the job in getting my studio ready was painting this behemoth of a hutch and putting it in place in my studio.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I just needed more storage then I had, and a better way to display my work.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So am old/small armoire and a bookcase were relocated and this hutch moved in.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I love the inside with its wallpapered backing. I am still adding gold details to trim but otherwise, its ready for use! You can see I am filling it up already.</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">One of the hand painted and decoupaged pieces I will have for sale will be this quirky hand made clock I found at Goodwill in Edmonds. After I cleaned it up and added 2 interior shelves, the painting began! I chose "Flemish Blue" and "Starch White" by Ralph Lauren paints. The interior will be decoupaged in a rose print paper from my LilyOake shop on Spoonflower.</span></div>

I added faux bead trim which I am gold leafing.</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So many pretty scarves to choose from! Ranging in shape and size from neckerchiefs to long, romantic sheers, I have lots of pretty colors and patterns available. And I am hand stitching the turned hems - I know - I can get a foot for my sewing machine that does it but sometimes I need to do this kind of work as therapy. Like knitting. I rarely get any one thing done to wear, but the act of knitting is so relaxing.</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Tablecloth toppers are so fun and easy to make and yet they add so much personality to a table without committing to an entire tablecloth. They just toss across the end or center of a table, at an angle, and add color and pattern. I sold out of the ones I had last fall so there's a new batch on the sewing stack.</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Tea towels! The bread and butter of my ETSY shop sales. I am nearly sold out of them now, so I have 16 new ones coming you way! They are colorful and fun for spring/summer. They are 55% linen, 45% cotton and are super absorbent! Not to mention they also make wonderful placemats, tray liners, pillow cover for half of a 16"x20" filler and look wonderful hanging for display.</span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">And finally, some sneak peaks of my fabric designs I did for a local quilting company. The collection will be called "Fidelia" and features vintage style roses, lilacs, bees and birds, honeycombs and ditsy prints. Its a really pretty collection, in very appealing clear, soft pastels of rose, lilac, soft greens, and buttery yellows. I'll do another posting later when they fabric is actually in production and available for purchase!</span></div>

But I also need to take into consideration that the world of design must grind on behind the scenes!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> In order to have the fabrics, designs and looks ready for the public, when they are actually ready for them, these things must be planned out and finalized months ahead of time - most times way out of step with the actual season!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> It can sometimes be difficult - I have had to play Christmas music in May, to put me in the mood to design for the Xmas season, when I'd rather be picking lily of the valley and smelling my lilacs!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> So to, now, with Christmas parties still to attend, I am sneaking off to my computer to continue work on my new spring designs!</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> Here is a teaser of what spring brings - fresh florals and sweet pastels.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">And of course, my "blueberry blue" color way, which is in the same family as Pantone's 2016 color choice "serenity".</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">And a saying: </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Some people look for a beautiful place.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Others make a place beautiful.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I do hope I can be that person, helping you make your home beautiful, with my fabrics and wallpapers.</span><br />
