reborn.

after 3 days of feeling like death i'm finally remembering what it's like to feel human again.

years of working in the service industry have prepared me for getting sick.
{it's part of the job}
i've had every common illness you can get,
but this whole strep throat thing..
that was new.

oi, antibiotics.

i finally had enough energy today to take on all the projects my brain was conceiving while curled up on the couch the past few days.

it felt good to be productive again.
{minus the fever bursts}

i'm just about finished with the 2 owl pillows a friend ordered from me.
a little more sewing and stuffing and they'll be ready to go!
i'm thinking about naming them...
they've taken on their own personalities.
i also had a chance to make some labels for all the sewn goods i'm making.

i wanted a really raw look for them.
one because i needed it to be quick and simple
and two because part of me is still really lazy. :)

with all the napping and cold medicine i found my mind wandering to russian dolls.
{i have no clue why}
maybe i saw a picture somewhere or heard someone talking about them.
my mind does as it wishes.
i'm just along for the ride.

i thought it would be awesome to make some russian doll pillows.
i'm planning on doing some shaped as the dolls and some silk screened.

i made the screen as simple as possible so i can go in and add a ton of hand painted elements.i'm still waiting impatiently for it to dry so i can do some sample prints.
grr..

i also cut out the largest doll image and started pairing it with some fabric.
whew! what a day!as you can imagine i'm exhausted.
but also exhilarated!
i got more done today than i have in a long time
and i'm going to sleep like a baby.

talk to you soon!
