Totally Wiggin' Out Here

Ok.

The freakiest thing happened to me when I was photographing the Antique Flowers fabric yesterday ... in my livingroom.

CHECK-THIS-OUT!!!!

Area Rug Sampler I made at the turn of the century (THIS century ... LOL!)

Wall color & hardwood floors

Planter

Art PianoAnd just when I thought there was NO WAY I'd find burgundy wine ANYWHERE in my house, I see this ...

Daughter's violin caseI swear, if you had told me these fabrics would be PERFECT for my livingroom I would have slapped you across the face with my kid-leather glove and challenged you to a duel at high noon in the worst fake French accent you have ever heard (think Inspector Clouseau).

Kidding ... but I WOULD have told you to get your eyes checked.

I am totally flabbergasted by the discovery that I love Antique Flowers, not just because they remind me of my Grandma Irma's farmhouse parlour, but because they remind me of MY OWN LIVINGROOM!

Now excuse me while I go check to see if the sky is falling ... 'cause I'm just not certain about ANYTHING right now! LOL!

(Sorry about all the shouting today ... but I AM TOTALLY wiggin' out!)

I can't stop giggling! This is too funny! I just love that your Grandma's parlor has stayed in your heart and mind so much that it influenced your own little home! Hope your quilt is coming along well. Can't wait to see it! :)

I love reading your blog. You make me smile, you're so funny!

High noon with you? I'm in but only if we use fabric instead of bullets! Oh, and your sampler looks adorable (as all your quilting/stitching/homework) the colors remind me of your daisychain sampler. Hildy

Wigging out is good... mixes things up a bit! I love that you are seeing so much of your Grandma in your living room - who would of thought? I guess things stay close to the heart even if it is in our subconscious! Can't wait to see what you do with this! I hadn't thought twice about the collection until you posted this... I really like it too! This is fun to watch this unfold!

I always wonder what you'd think of my house. Apart from freaking about the mess and lack of co-ordination, that is.
