**update-you can get these fabrics right here!
I got this really fun fabric from Cia's Palette and then was stumped by how to use it. So I was laying it out on the table. . and there you go--I realized it would be a perfect tablecloth. I had two 1/2 yard cuts, so I just torn one down the middle to make the two end panels and sewed the three pieces together and then serged and hemmed the edges and it fit the table perfect. My vintage tablecloth collection is turning into tatters and are badly stained. It's pretty sad actually. I am so happy to have some new ones that still look vintage-y but that actually are somewhat hygienically safe. The funny part of this photo is that you can actually see this tablecloth. Usually there are so many stacks of books, magazines, and I don't even know what, on the table that only a few plates and cups can fit.
I went to the Wurstminster Dog Show opening last night with Melissa and had a blast. The new Ace hotel is still pretty, um, unfinished. Like really just drywall-at least where the show was. I asked if it was going to be the lobby and was told that it was going to be the restaurant, that's the level of unfinished I'm talking about. I was going to try and weasel into some rooms, but the amount of building materials we would have had to scale over was formidable, so I decided to not act like a delinquent and we stayed in the gallery only.
The dog art was amazing, so many pieces had already sold, and there were even a few real dogs there. A lot of Portland artists were in the show too, which was so cool. I know the online gallery will be up soon, so check it out.
And, for a complete waste of time:
toss the snow globe, egg, and my fave, death by caffeine, (All from pointless sites.)
