latest project

i have been wanting to redo our bedding for awhile now. it's not that i was sick of our old bedding - my mom made our duvet out of our table runners from our reception. it was gorgeous and i loved it. the silk was getting worn and had torn quite a bit along the top, so it was time for a little makeover. plus, i'm getting sick of having red in every room - not that there's much red in here, but i'm trying to phase it out bit by bit (from every room). yesterday my parents were in town and my mom and i did a bit of shopping in the afternoon. i got a new extra set of sheets and got inspired :) i went to joann after they left town and took advantage of their sale on home dec fabrics. i got the material for the duvet (b/w) and got started. it only took (only!) about 5 hours :) i got it completely finished in one sitting - but only because i put kate down for a much needed REAL nap (cat naps in the car all day long don't really add up to much, or count for much). she slept for the rest of the night. i couldn't believe it when i finished up and she was still sound asleep. thanks baby! :)

i'm itching to recover our couches - don't expect to see any posting about that for awhile - if ever. the idea sounds fun, but i'm sure i'm not exactly up for it. i think i get the "redo-bug" every summer :) we'll only be in our apartment for another year and i'm (again) thinking of revamping the kitchen - which i will not be doing, but the thoughts are swimming in my head :)

anyway, what do you think?
