Red and aqua make my heart sing in a way that no other colours do...especially when that red has polkadots!
Now, today started out like any ordinary Monday, but went downhill fairly quickly from there. Nothing, but nothing, was going as I had planned, and the day was looking pretty much like a write-off. I had a very bad case of the blahs. My husband walked in the front door, asking if I was expecting a parcel? A parcel! The blahs started rising instantly...
You want a closer look? You know you do.....
With the blahs lifting, and my ironing basket empty, I decided a little scrapping was in order...
The IKEA catalogue was also in my letterbox today,so I sat down with my lunch for a squizz, and LOOK LOOK LOOK!!!
A bargain priced, perfect sized, red polkadot lounge! I've had quotes to cover my old lounge in red polkadots, but the cost was WAY out of my price range. Can you imagine how excited I am to find an IKEA one? YIIIPPPEEEEE!!!
The blahs have now been well and truly banished, and I am about to put the quilting pins into another red-and-aqua project that I've been working on for several...um...years. Can you guess what?
Hope your day is filled with colours that make you happy!

I spotted the lovely couch as soon as I walked into Ikea a couple of weeks ago - it would suit you perfectly and would be bound to lift your spirits daily!
Glad your parcel turned up - looks delicious!
That couch is the best, not fair we don't get IKea here in NZ- stamping my feet and throwiing my toys out of the cot!!
Those fabrics are definitely enough to banish the blues!!! What range are they?
& yes the IKEA lounge is magic!!! We got our new catalogue last week & it just jumped off the page. I just have to work out where on earth I can fit one!!!
I'm guessing Little Bluebirds is gonna be done soon...
Sorry to hear you had a bad day, but glad to hear it improved. Lovely layout and I'm jealous of that gorgeous fabric goodness (and the lack of grey hairs).
Hope the rest of your week is wonderful.
Oops i saw that lounge and immediately thought of you, sorry should haved txtd you. So so happy that your fabric finally came, what range is it again? Your LO is fantastic and so so you which is fitting as its about you.
A great way to get rid of the blahs.

I soon as I saw that couch in the catalogue I immediately thought of you. I'm glad your day got better.
love me :-)
All that delightful red spottiness would definitely lift the blahs!
What a lovely bundle of fabrics...can't wait to see what you'll be making!
Red and aqua together make me feel happy, too. And 40 is so young...
