My Lacey Grey Creative Space...

good morning!

this is bright and early for me to be here,
but i was filled with energy this morning
&
couldn't wait to get started.

so first thing i took some photos
of my newest little cushion
after seeking the room with the most light,
and that wasn't easy!


reminiscent of moroccan architectural detail

a fine lacey design
in soft grey...



discreetly buttoned up at the back...





closer!




more of
ty pennington's 'impressions'
in pure cotton decor weight fabric
are calling out to be made up...
these two are more in the latte/choc colour theme
but equally beautiful.

i'm joining in with kootoyoo's 'our creative spaces' today...

what's going on in your neck of the woods

this fine thursday?

i can smell spring coming
&
am getting a bit of an urge to do some
reorganising and
dare i say it
a little spring cleaning!

    Oohee Carol, I love, love, love them all!

    Your new header image is making me think I should be heading down to the beach but I have an incredibly messy office so will be spending time in here, washing and doing much needed paperwork.

    Your post was a lovely respite though - thank you!

    xx Felicity

    I do like the morrocan inspired design.
    Currently spring cleaning my daughters bedroom, which is a euphamism for getting rid of the trashy toys!

    Gorgeous cushion. Very elegant indeed!

    My day today will involve doing not much at all. I am listening to my body which is telling me to stop and have a day of rest.

    Have a good one!

    That Morrocan-inspired cushion is a beauty (or 'bewdy' as the Small would say). Love the subtle elegance...

    Such a beautiful fabric, but I'm eyeing the fabulous sewing action. Great job there and I prefer button-backs too :) Kx

    The cushion is gorgeous!
    For some reason I am intimidated by cushion making so I am always a bit in awe of your goegeous pieces. The neat seams, the perfect buttons, the wonderful fabric choices.
    I hope you have the most wonderful weekend Carol. x

    Seriously, how do you do it? Every time I pop across you've come up with a gorgeous new creation! Loving the greys, they'd go perfectly in our living room. And is that a soft velvet throw I spy in the back? Gorgeous!

    Hi Carol! :)
    Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving the nice comment. I love the pillow you created! Buttons on the back are such a nice added touch. I just saw in a magazine here in the US that Ty had a fabric line. How cool! Have a lovely day!
