Being Different...or Being in a State of Disney Mind

Creativity and imagination go hand in hand. I knitted yet another scarf today, which means I've finished two of them this week!! Unfortunately my model(AKA-my dummy or dressmaker's dummy) is at the store modelling a dress!! The other model(AKA-me) didn't feel like modelling them. I'll try and get a picture of them in the morning, since I'm taking them to work with me in the morning and giving my boss a choice of which one she wants.

My imagination was going a little crazy on me this morning while I was making the bed. I had just finished washing and drying the sheet and was making the bed, when I suddenly missed our usual February trip to Walt Disney World, so what do I do..I find some of our towel animals, Mickey and Minnie and a towel Mickey and place them on the bed so it was my little reminder of WDW!!

Of course, Figaro ad to get into the picture and get the big mouse!!!

Sometimes work gets in the way...but not really!!

I've been really tired lately since we've been getting all the new fabrics in at work. I come home from work, eat dinner and fall asleep. I really do love seeing all the spring and summer fabrics because everything is so nice and bright and it really does break up the dullness of the winter blahs. What is really nice about the new lines coming in, is that we do get three different groupings of children's fabric and that means I get to do a store display with a children's outfit!!!

This year I had two different patterns already picked out before the fabric came out, but the patterns on the fabric were quite large for the outfits, so through process of elimination I picked out the fabric and I used the pattern that I use for my Disney Inspired! Line of dresses. The colors I used were completely out of my comfort zone because they are not colors I am fond of, but they are the colors that are hot of the season and they did make up a gorgeous dress!!
