on a day like today...

...when i'm basically keeping myself busy & remotely sane while waiting to go into labor (baby due freaking tomorrow...), and the NY streets are basically covered in something like THIS:

State Library of New South Wales

i definitely think we need some cute and happy distractions. 

here is some bright and colorful candy that made me laugh/smile/aww on this excited/nerve-wrecked & glacial Tuesday.

color wheel

my favorite color is rainbow. yes, its a color if you love it as much as i do. it's only natch that i'd quilt something in rainbow fashion.  i bought the materials for this quilt a LONG time ago (let's say one blerg and almost 2 years ago) and I don't remember when I started it - but I finished it sometime early this past late spring/early summer.  anyway, i love it and it's found a home in our yet to be decorated guest room in our new house.  i go in and peek at it all the time cause its so lovely.  visit Purl Soho to get the materials to make your very own (and completely do-able) color wheel quilt.  Pick up a much needed copy of Last Minute Patchwork and Quilted Gifts by my idol, Joelle Hoverson (owner of Purl).  I have all the Purl books and have made many many things out of all of them (some I've shown here and others I've forgotton to photograph before giving away!)

anyway, here's my color wheel quilt in all her glory.  it was a labor of love that makes me smile every time i see it!
