inspired by blueberry pankcakes.

so hubby made blueberry pancakes this morning.
he rocks my socks off. {thanks hubby. xoxo.}

i glanced down at the pancake aftermath on my plate and was inspired.
i even said "this would make a pretty color palette for a quilt."
hubby rolled his eyes at me.
psssh. husbands. they just don't "get" it. lol.

*commence rachel getting made fun of*
i'm outside on our side porch.
it's drizzling rain.
i'm taking pics of my maple syrup pool with it's blueberry & pancake swimmers.
all while thinking about the matching bella solids in my head.

yeah. i got mad skills.
that or i'm a dork.
for my ego's sake, i'll settle on mad skills.
;)

so hopefully one day i'll make me a blueberry pancake quilt.
or maybe one of yall should so i can live vicariously through you & your quilt. HA.

inspired by stitcheries.

so my good buddy john had this amazing idea around the holidays.
the idea was to have a stitch & send swap.
brillant if you ask me.

it was an invitation only swap {thanks john} and we all were immediately stoked.
the excitement was contagious. really.

we we're all broken down into small groups and we all picked a theme.
i went back & forth on a theme...
irish. twilight. friends the tv show. matryoshka dolls. something baby{ish}.
i just couldn't decide. at all.

well then morning sickness hit me like a truck and yall know how that went.
i started getting everyone's fabric and floss.
i didn't mail out my stuff on time. still hadn't picked a theme.
i was SO disgusted with myself.

so here i am...a month late picking my theme...but i finally picked something.
{all along i think it's been in the back of my mind, but i'm southern so i'm stubborn.}

easily enough...i made a mosaic of my favorite stitcheries.

after much deliberation...
i decided to have each swapper stitch something using my mosaic as inspiration.
as yall can tell, i like all colors and themes.

when the pieces come home, they will hang in hoops on my quilty room wall.
{to be enjoyed & inspired by them ALL the time.}

are yall inspired my stitcheries???
i know i am. alot.
