Colored flowers
My dad sent me these flowers for Valentine’s from 2 states away. Something about the colors really appeals to me — feels like a vintage print.
I spent a good portion of the day cleaning my house to get ready for a [pretend to watch a video but really make out on the couch all night] date. The cleaning included clearing off the table pictured above, which doubles as a dining table and a craft/work space. My sewing machine is now put away for at least a few days, which means I can focus on some hand stitching — getting a jump on the band sampler and hand stitching a quilt binding. Pictures to come.
Being in a clean, clutter-free place inspires my creativity.

There’s something about lilac roses that just looks vintage. They are the parma violets of the rose world!

@aneela: You’re so right! I think the combo of the lilac roses plus the vivid pink variegateds is what makes it feel like vintage cloth to me.
