While in the midst of packing boxes and preparing to move I have had a lil creative inspiration! I have been wanting to try those rosettes we've seen all over blogland and thought I couldn't do it. So one day I looked up a how to and VIOLA!!
I do plan to put more rosettes in a complimentary fabric once I find the fabric and make them!I found this shade at the Sandwich Flea and fell in love, but then I was over the yellow and had it in the shop to sell, no one bought it (THANKFULLY because I am drawn to a mustard yellow, navy with hints of green and grey combo) SO as I was getting ready to pack it I said lemme see if those rosettes will save this old girl.....
And I think they did!! NOW it reminds me of an Anthro-ish shade (ps, I don't think that's the lamp she'll stay on....I have a FAB greyish-amethyst glass lamp in the garage that I think she'd be swell on) SO you'll just have to stay tuned and see how she lands once we move!While I was in a yellow mood.....
Lemme tell you....I made the rosettes first (outta fabric I cut off of some yoga pants that were too long {thanx for the pants Jen} ) and planned to put them on a creamy velvet pillow (to cover the safari scene) BUT didn't have enough rosettes (even WITH the extra dark grey ones I made {outta different pants too long fabric}) SO I said lemme see what I can find.....
and while putting (already packed) boxes in the garage I found this mustard velvet beauty I picked up last summer at the Salvation Army for .60 (I KNOW!! I can't believe it either people!!) it just had to sit around long enough to become part of a project!
The best part is these 2 lil day projects can be combined in the same room!! Now y'all pray we find the perfect house, please :) (we had one but it fell thru at the 11th hour). Happy Thursday!
