Quilt Love

Oh my god Oh my god Oh my god.
I'm in love with  this image via Desire to Inspire of an inspired room by Elodie Rambaud. More importantly - I am in love with this quilt. Quilt, Bed Cover, whatever...in love i am! And planning also. Planning a quilt. and cushions. Inspired by this but with African fabric.  Yeeeeeeha. I might even start it tomorrow...cos i can! Woooohoooo. Oh, and also, the side table.

Do list - reviewed for a new year!

So, the New Year  has started, here we are and plenty to do!!!
I've not done so well with the list I started at the end of last year, so I thought I would review it for a pragmatic start for 2011. I have added to it, but made barely a dint in crossing it off.
I think this list is as good an approach to a new year's resolution as any don't you!
