my tuesday muse: navy + gold + green

It's really tough for me to imagine a life without pink, but I'm trying oh-so hard. Right now I'm loving navy + blues + green with a twist of gold. They look so super clean and grown-up together.

Over the weekend I hauled out my sewing machine and dominated the dining room table. Um, yes, I have a craft room and yes, I still prefer bringing everything out to the dining room to really spread out. That way my craft room stays cleaner! Plus from a logistical standpoint, it's just plain easier to keep an eye on the boy and the stove at the same time...

Back to sewing: I made some cute bowties for Graham which I promise to share soon! Since then, I have been staring at an unassuming pile of navy + white striped fabric just begging to be turned into shades for Jeff's office. It's been somewhere on my to-do list for the last 6 months, but today I'm equally loving it in its neatly-folded state next to a stack of pretty threads and measuring tape. Oh dear. I get more than a little side-tracked sometimes. There are still 7 bare naked windows in this house, begging for some serious attention. On the sunny side: I am embracing this process, no matter how long it takes.

my tuesday muse: emerald green + yellow

Ever since pinterest swept me off my feet about a week ago, I've been trying to dream up a new name for my little Tuesday collections. It's so lovely to put together a few images that inspire my week--but pinterest tuesday just didn't have the same chime as tumblr tuesdays. So here's my new angle: I'm re-introducing the mini feature as my tuesday muse. What do you think?

This week I'm super attracted to yellow with emerald greens and dark turquoise. Isn't it a smart combo? Find more of my latest inspiration here!1. {via} 2. green cardigan {via} 3. clocks by kelly rae roberts {via} 4. desk {via} 5. grin & share it {via}
