ULLABELLA Downs a MARGARETA

Stopped by IKEA for a spring fix. First thing we saw was this great fabric called ULLABELLA.

Maybe this classic chair could replace cat scratch fever in the living room:

OK, maybe it's time to take down the tree.

I just ironed the fabric and tacked to the textured wallpaper with pins. 

Voila! Happy Spring!

PS also swapped out the xmas pics above the couch:

Oprah is Very Fondof DOTWU

Last night I started watching Oprah's special featuring Jane Fonda and her adopted daughter Mary. A few minutes into the special, Oprah and Mary bonded over "Days of the Week Underwear" (DOTWU).

Picture Show sells all kinds of cool rubber stamps on ETSY. Check it out here.

Apron Update

A few months ago I wrote a post on a book I got from my mom about aprons. I decided to give the book to my job share partner Judy who was working on an interesting mosaic project. Now, a few months later, she has completed 3 pieces.

That red fabric used for the ties is very familiar - was on a shirt I had as a kid.

Here's Judy at her show at the Hopkins Center for the Arts.

She also makes mosaic portraits on cast iron pans:

Memory jars and more.
