BLUE AND RED = HAPPINESS

We had blessed rain yesterday.  When I heard the magical sound of the drops hitting the roof, all I could do was grin. To celebrate, I made a mexican frittata for breakfast and then spent most of the morning holed up in my sewing room.  I am having a love affair with blue and red.  What can I say?

I've ordered some wonderful fabric from Equilter.com.  But I cannot show it yet ... it's a big surprise!  I'm so excited about it that I probably won't be able to keep it under wraps for long.

I've been trying to avoid those stars - auditioning different prints and such.  What do you think of this?  Too cheesy?  Big cop out?  I NEED to finish this piece!  I really would welcome any and all suggestions.

Found this great basket at TJ Maxx - a home/fashion discount store.  It reminds me of the selvage pieces I see on the internet.  The material seems to be some kind of plastic - it's perfect for this -

A storage place for current patterns - ones in use and ones about to be used.  I have issues when it comes to great baskets and vessels of any kind.  Needful stuff - must have them all!

Some of my vintage watering cans came out today - it's beginning to really feel like summer around here!
