musing

{1, 2, 3, 4}

Remember all of those sketches I've been collecting in my journal?  Well, these are a few snippets of what has been inspiring me.  A lot of my inspiration lately has been home-centered.  Wall colors, shelving, rugs, tables.  No joke, I've been losing sleep over this.  It's kind of ridiculous.  Not to mention unnecessary.  However, some of the ideas I have had are awesome.  Shelving for the patio, how to make a big rug for the living room, coffee tables, occasional tables, armoires and painted bookcases.  It's a painted jungle in my head right now!

The other realm of inspiration has been for my own craft.  I have been craving a new project.  Something big.  Not necessarily in size, but maybe.  I don't know.  I don't have that part figured out yet.  What I do know is that this watercolor artist has my fingers itching to hone my own skills.  Her control of the paint is exquisite and still charmingly whimsical.  And she paints for Ralph Lauren..soo..ya know...she has my dream job.  I love her blog of painted sketches from her day to day life.  I'm hoping to challenge myself to do something similar and see what becomes of my own talents.



p.s. I love that bike print.  LOVE it.  Would hang it in every room of my house I love it so much.  But I can't find an actual print of it...  Dear Caitlin McGauley, Will you please make a print of this for me?   Pleeeeeeassseeee?
