I’ve known about our trip home for ages. So, leave it to me to decide last minute that IZ and I could use travel pillows.  I managed to get my studio area clean (you can see the floor in the photo… Hello! No strings on me.) enough to be inspiring again.  To compound my fate, Joann’s had fabric I’d been eyeing for ages on sale. SALE! It’s a rare moment when you see a Japanese print at our store, so I snatched up what little they had left and got to work.

I didn’t mean for our pillows to be so matchy-matchy. I swear. That was an accident. But the browns in those prints looked so beautiful against this amazing Egyptian cotton I’ve been hoarding, I couldn’t resist. It’s probably a good thing this was so last minute; as I was handing IZ his, a stray thought crept into the corner of my studio and shouted, “HEY! YOU! MONOGRAM THAT PILLOW.”  Apparently, Martha Stewart has taken up residence in the north corner of my space. She should really tidy up that spot.

Monogram? What a fabulous idea!

Then I looked at the laundry and my empty suitcase and thought better of it.

Next time.
