let the creative juices flow

today is perfect. the wind has died down, the peanut butter and apple butter sandwich combo was an absolute delectable choice, my ipod on shuffle is playing the most amazing songs (i feel like i'm in a movie with a delicious soundtrack). oh, and did i mention the clouds look like an ivan aivazovsky painting?
like i said perfect.
yesterday was spent in a mindless lull as i was bit by a stomach bug, so today has been spent in a game of creative catch-up.

my creative impulse is usually overwhelming to see.
one word: chaos

there is always one thing too much, going on at once. it's actually amazing that i can get anything done in this environment. this is surprisingly a clean day so this picture is only a portal to ignite your imaginary reflex, the days i create anything from scratch are always abundantly messier!

today i grabbed a dress that has been on the top of my to finish pile for ages. i don't have the slightest idea why it sat there so long, as it took basically ten minutes to finish. i absolutely love this print.

this calico was on sale at walmart! i think i got it for $1.50 a yard. it is such a thin cotton that it was super hard to work with, but i do believe the finished product came out so lovely. like i said i just adore the print!

i got this amy butler pattern from hawthorne threads and i love love love them. the fabric choices are so unique and they ship! that is a nice thing since i live in the middle of nowhere. :)
here is a sneak peak at one of their fabric patterns that i made a gorgeous 50's, meets "sound of music" inspired skirt out of.

i'm hoping to do a photo shoot with mel soon, so you can see the full effect. oh so lovely! i believe this post has found its end and i need to finish another project. can anyone say mod apron? eek i'm so excited about this one! maybe i'll do an apron post soon. :)
