Yesterday we headed Santa Barbara in search of fabric.
I hate to say this with many people around the country still deep in snow, but it was an absolutely perfect day.
Even if I didn't find fabric it was wonderful to be zipping along the coast with the top down and the sun shining upon us.
I decided we should first go to Lewis and Clark to look for a tablecloth.
Steve hates shops like this, but he shows his art in a gallery in the arcade by Lewis and Clark so he had something to do while I shopped.
He snapped some photos of the great sculptures adorning the arcade.
I didn't find a tablecloth that I wanted to use for pillows, but I did pick up some cute things.
I have no idea what I will do with the little fork and spoon clips, but they are so cute.
I have been having fun playing with felt lately so I bought the heart and flower for ideas.
The hand towels just might end up as pillows on my window seat.
I didn't find anything in Santa Barbara, but back in Ventura I went to the fabric store and found some possibilities.
My plan was to use the blue and yellow for pillows and the red polka dot for napkins.
I love the red polka dot, but I thought the background was too beige for the white sofa.
I tucked the blue and yellow over the pillows and wasn't sure about my choice.
Then I tucked the polka dot over a pillow - LOVE it.
I headed back to the fabric store today and bought more fabric.
This week's plan - 2 sofa pillows and 1 chair pillow in red polka dot and 2 sofa pillows in yellow.
The nice thing about my entire house being the same color palette is that I can switch things from room to room.
The original blue background bought for pillows will become a tablecloth for my patio table.
The blue/cherry fabric - I couldn't pass it up - a new dining room tablecloth.
It is a good thing that spring break starts in 4 days because I am going to be busy.
