Inspiring?

From november 09
Today I wacked together this "inspiration" board using a ready-made canvas I had, some yarn left-over from my short-lived winter knitting experiment (which yielded no scarves, but several square blankies for Melli's dolls )and some little craft pegs I had bought for this very purpose months ago.

It is hanging above our bed - for now. I'm just not sure. Not sure...

From november 09


I like the colours and the images; they include bits and pieces representing my favourite things: my family, children's art, my art, retro and nostalgic imagery and other artist's and bloggers illustrations and photography.

It's very homely - and I guess that's the aim. I know that soon (with the aid of some yet-to-be-sourced big, comfy cusions) I will be spending a lot of time in that very bed feeding the new baby, and as this wall faces a mirrored wardrobe I figure why not spend the hours looking at something that evokes happy memories and/or associations (besides the new babe who will hog my gaze for the most part!)

Just not sure if it looks a bit lame or too cluttered or something... Of course, it can be easily changed... that's one of the beauties of the inspiration board, isn't it! I'm going to sit with it over the weekend and see how I feel.

Have a great weekend everyone.

p.s Thanks (again) for your wonderful comments of late... I know I've gone a bit pregnant-loco!! Has to be expressed I'm 'fraid. Hope my eternal (infernal?) nesting caper hasn't bored you too much - it's always so lovely to hear from you.)
