i really want to do this succulent planter project from the july issue of living. i love succulents– they remind me of california. i bought a few earlier in the spring and they’ve grown a lot and seem to be thriving. i think this photo could inspire a new textile pattern or plate too…

pattern polaroid #4 
currently inspired by kids’ artwork… i was very impressed with the perspective in this one!
i’m sad i missed renegade!… we have relatives visiting, and i was hoping to sneak away for a little bit or incorporate renegade into the weekend plans, but it just didn’t work out… i was looking forward to seeing the small object, hodge podge, make, ferdinand, raeburn, and everyone else… oh well! hope everyone had a good time.
UPDATE: sold out
our niece and nephews are coming to visit…

i love simple, graphic quilts… denyse schmidt, quilters of gee’s bend, and these by anna von merten’s are incredible. via whipup
thanks simple me for such a great link! kvadrat is a danish company that designs and manufacturers textiles. i loved looking through the website– it reminded me a lot of the mina perhonon books.
inspired by alison’s hello photoblog, i’ve been taking polaroids of patterns around my house. i love the way the film washes out certain colors, and gives the pattern a new look.
