afternoon light

There was a lot of cleaning and straightening up to do in the studio yesterday. I'd made quite the mess trying to get things done before Christmas and our long trip south. Now, it's all tidy except for the floor, which needs to be swept. Well, that and a few new stacks of fabric that need to be sorted out. I was daydreaming about what to do next while I cleaned. What is a good first project for 2008? I think it should be something simple and gratifying. Fresh and colorful, but, not too Spring-like yet. Maybe I'll make some new slipcovers for our sofa throw pillows. I've had the same ones for a year and a half now and they're looking pretty tired. I hear there's a good tutorial for adding zippers to your pillow covers here. Tomorrow I can start going through the fabric stacks for some good candidates. Maybe, when I do, I'll get another glimpse of the lovely afternoon light like the one that was coming in through the studio windows yesterday. So pretty I had to take a few pictures.

Ooo, I'm behind on my blog reading...love all your new photos. May I be so bold as to ask where you got the little chair? Which I suddenly, absolutely, impractically have to have?
