What an incredibly fun project this was to work on! Working with the Land of Nod always pushes me to new places creatively and it's so rewarding… I get to create things I only would have dreamt about. When I was a kid, nightlights were purely functional, but why shouldn't they be as fun as these? Take your pick of the swan, horse, fox or bunny, adorned with flowers.
Sweet dreams!
Anyone who knows my work knows that I love creating florals! And that I love working with the Land of Nod. So, here is a dreamy little project that I got to bring to life with them. The Flower Show collection will bring flowers into your life all year round! The sheet sets are available from crib size all the way up to queen size, and they're 100% cotton percale so they're super comfy to sleep in (I speak from personal experience). Buy the matching quilt, pillows and shams and it will be like perpetual summer in your bedroom. Or, ahem, your child's bedroom.
Here are some shots and links!
Thanks for reading!
Going to camp was a quintessential moment for a lot of people during their childhood. I was a pretty shy kid and only opted to go to camp once (a day camp, at that) so I didn't fully experienced it. As an adult, though, I discovered camping and learned just how much I love the outdoors and being around a campfire. I do have one very fond memory of my camp experience though… the choreographed dance number we learned to Love & Rockets ‘So Alive’. I wish I could remember the dance moves, but maybe I’ll have to make up a new camp dance because I’ll be teaching Camp Workroom Social this coming October in the Catskills!
If you’ve never heard of it, Camp Workroom Social is a 4-day sewing retreat for adults. Last year focused solely around sewing workshops but this year, the fabulous organizer Jenn Wiese, wanted to offer up something a little different that would appeal to the same crowd but in a different way. And so, she invited me to come teach a Pattern Design Workshop! I’ll be teaching Surface Pattern Design, and other classes are focused around making apparel (make your own bra! learn couture handsewing skills! make garments that actually fit!). If you’ve ever contemplated designing your own fabric or have wanted to explore pattern design, and love the idea of going to camp and being surrounded by a bunch of wonderful crafty folks, sign up for my class!
Here are some images from last year’s event, doesn’t it look fun? And super beautiful?
All the details about the event can be found on their website. Hope to see you there!
