baby decorating

hmm, pregnancy brain and daily blogging don't seem to go hand-in-hand but i shall persevere and post when i actually remember. everything just seems so busy lately, my brain is running a mile a minute trying to keep up so it's not surprising that some things get missed - i just try to keep telling myself that everything will get done in due time. yesterday i had a photo shoot (art directing, not modeling) in brighton and so was able to make a quick jaunt over to bentleigh for an amitie fabric fix (they're having a big sale this weekend, by the way, which i just discovered by bringing up their site. might have to make another trip over...). i was on the look out for something to tie my nursery colour scheme together, more specifically for the playmat i'm designing which will magically tie the nursery colour scheme together and i found just the thing.



this japanese canvas from kokka is perfect, just perfect. i want the main colour of the room to be turquoise, in varying shades, with white walls, lots of linen and blonde pine furniture but with small accents of bright colours. now i have a meter of this fabric to play with, turquoise and white striped fabric for the curtains, a sweet 50s melmac mug in a pale turquoise and the following oobee that i made from a gorgeous pure wool felt as my starting points... there is a lot of shopping (and making) to be done, my friends.
