Smashing.



I feel like such a follower these days. I've been getting swept up in crafty internet phenomena lately (the grannies and now the Purl Swatch Portraits). What a geek. Go get your own idea, Erin, jeez.



Anyways, for the one in the bedroom I used Heat-N-Bond to do the bird on a branch applique and I think that H-N-B is one of the best things to ever happen to me. It's the most fun ever. The one over the mantle is just a quarter flat. I used quilting hoops because they are nice and big and interestingly shaped and I found them on clearance for less than a dollar each. I think that both of them could benefit from being flanked by a smaller ones on both sides. Fast, cheap and wicked cute. Love it. It's really starting to make me crazy how blank our walls are. So I gleefully pound brads haphazardly into the plaster (makes Aaron cringe) and top them with silly things.

I got a lasagna in the oven right now so hey let's all make lasagnas and start a Lasagna-A-Long and a flickr group and blog about lasagna.

Anyhooo, this heat-n-bond stuff... is it sticky on one side?

Your hoops look great. I made some a while ago too. I think they still bare wall space well.

Damn it you are so damn cute. Your place is so cute it makes me say "cute" over and over. And "damn."

I think you have great taste in stealing ideas. And it could be worse, you could just keep knitting everything Kate knits. Watch me knit a shopping tunic next. Just watch me.
