Nesting?

Last Monday I went on an adventure to Suppose, an adorable fabric store in Preston, Idaho.  

Welcome to IDAHO!

It was totally worth the drive because I found both of these fabrics on clearance.  


 Initially I was going to make some maternity tops out of them but after laying both out on our couch I thought about using them in Mina's room.  I should say eventual room because I'm not sure where we will be in August.  I love how they look together, especially in real life, as opposed to sample pictures on web sites.

My Suppose spoils.  I made a shirt out of the cream and blue fabric.  I'm not sure how I feel about it.
The other cog in the machine is this painting:
The Cradle by Berthe Morisot

Obviously not the actual painting, that is in the Musee D'Orsay but a rather subpar reproduction I bought on a whim years ago.  I've loved this painting since I was in 3rd grad and maybe someday I will post a picture of my 3rd grade version.  It's pretty funny because I used crayons and a pencil.  I remember trying so hard to get the colors right, it was a good thing I always had a massive supply of crayons.  No basic pack for this girl!

Anyway, I'm not sure if they go together concept-wise.  Art deco and impressionist?  I'm not really sure.

Something I AM sure about?  How crazy these pants are:
I found this MATERNITY pattern in the Burda pattern book at Jo-Ann's.  I was looking for a cute top pattern but I had no luck.  Apparently pattern makers think that pregnant women want to dress like older ladies, in flowy tops that tent with ugly handkerchief hems.  No thank you!

Last week James cleaned out our dishwasher.  He is such a champ.  It was starting to smell and the dishes seemed dirtier after a wash cycle.  Gross.  While he was working he decided to take the front piece off the bottom to vacuum underneath.  He found a screw driver under there!  We figured it belonged to Darryl so James put it in the shop.  It was pretty funny to see James pull it out.
Is it weird that I miss being able to lay on my stomach?  I totally do.
