A Monday in Blues and Yellows

Happy Monday, friends!  Despite the rainy Sunday, it was still a lovely weekend.  There was outdoor fun in the 50+ degree weather on Saturday and tons of organizing for the baby (thanks for the help, Mom!).  Claire arrived fashionably late, so there could still be another week and a half of waiting, but I forgot how exciting the anticipation can be in the final days.  I really can't think of anything comparable in my adult life. 

Since I've admitted to being just a little distracted by the brand new human being about to make his entrance any day now, I hope you'll excuse me for a gathering post that is just a tiny bit random. Let's call it a nursery in blues and yellows.

House Stringing a Banner Pillow by Olive

This pretty little pillow made me think of our home just sitting here ready to welcome a new baby.  [You hear that baby? We're all prepared. Feel free to join us any time now.]  My other favorite is this one. You can customize the fabric background and the message.  Wouldn't it be the cutest prop for a proposal? And then it could hold the rings in the wedding--awww, makes me want to get married again (to the same wonderful man, of course). 

Equilateral Triangles Crib Quit by Carson Converse Studio

I know they have a lot of fans, but I've never been too into triangles (just a little too pointy for my taste). Maybe it's the color combination or that the backside speaks to my irrational adoration of stripes, but I love, love, love this quilt.  I'm kind of dying to use it as a wall hanging in Claire's soon-to-be-shared room, but it seems just a little bit splurge-y right now.  For now, I'll just avert my eyes and call it restraint.

Scattered Showers, stiched cityscape by Laura Amiss

This town looks so much cozier in the rain than what I'm seeing outside my window right now.  I love a little texture on canvas and when it comes in the form of felt roofs and stitched raindrops, I'm pretty sure my little one(s) would feel the same way.

I hope your Monday is just the beginning of an absolutely fantastic week!

The stripped and triangle quilts are so beautiful. I agree that I'm not always a huge fan of triangles, but this quilt does it so well.

I love that first little bunting pillow! And I know what you mean by triangles. I'll take stripes every day...though 3 is my favorite number.
Best,
Tina

Nick & Lauren, the stripes are even on the back of the triangle quilt. Maybe that's how I can rationalize the purchase--it's like two quilts in one!

Hi Tina. It sure is a happy little pillow!
