I’ve been trying to soak up as much as I can of Holly and Leslie’s cleverness over at Blogging Your Way, there is just so much inspiration to be had there. I’ve just started a new scrapbook dedicated purely to colour. As great as it is having all these files on my computer, trawling through images online is wearing me down a little, so I’m going back to basics and tearing up my ridiculously over the top magazine collection. Sorry Real Living, it was nice knowing you. Prepare for decimation.

I’d never made a quilt before, so I was a little bit nervous, but Anneliese had written up such a great set of step-by-step instructions, I figured if I could manage to follow her tutorial, I should be okay. The outcome actually exceeded my expectations, for a newbie, the steps are very easy to follow; I had no problems at all working my way through it.

What do you think about mood/inspiration boards? Do you find them helpful?
9 comments One chair before and after – as promised. There is another one too, but my other half has acquired it for his shed aka “The Man Cave” and wasn’t keen on giving it back. Seeing as it cost me all of $5, I think I’ll let him have it. I am nothing if not a generous wife.  Disclaimer: Please note that said chair may be subject to DWLS (Dodgy Wobbly Leg Syndrome).

2010 seems to be the Year of the Baby for our circle of friends. I guess we’re all around 30, most of us are married or engaged, and as is often the way, people want to start sprogging up. Three of our close friends are about to give birth, two for the first time, so I’ve been wanting to do something a little bit special.
