fabulous fabric

I haven't done a craft project in a while, especially one involving a sewing machine. But this fabric might just force me to get crafty! It's gorgeous. I could see it as a long bolster pillow on my bed, or maybe a window treatment... what do you think? And you can't beat the price. 'Etsuko Flower' is $17.95/yard at reprodepot.com

If you browse Etsy or any craft website these days, plush dolls are in. This one is particularly adorable. It's the kind of thing I don't really need, but would love to have. How cute would it be tucked in the corner of a sofa? You can purchase her for $30 from Aussiepatches on Etsy.
