working on a bedspread made from all handspun yarn
(a project i started eons ago and will probably finish eons from now)
the yarn shown is all made by pinkpeppercorns.com
and an antique pram my mom got me for $55!
it is made by motoride and i think it might be from the 30's?
it needs to be cleaned up.
I LOVE IT!!! :)
it also all folds up, totally works, and it swings, as well!
is the material canvas or what?
i am thinking of painting psychedelic cream coloured elephants, or giraffes, or both that go all around it with fabric paint. or maybe just swirly designs. what do you think? :)
or...oooo bunnies or deer!
done in a sort of modern yet old fashioned mark ryden sort of style :)
mmm, bunnies and deer
:-)
i am lucky my mom is such a great bargain hunter :)
rockin'!
That is great that it folds up. Is it heavy?

Re: rockin'!
at least you have a great partner to help carry it... or carry you!
:-}
Your idea of drawing on the pram with fabric paint sounds cool!
I'm trying to figure out what to do with all the beautiful yarn I have from ElectricKat. It would be good to make something like a bedspread so that I could look at all the beautiful colours and textures all together.
:)
Also beautiful: you, knitting.
i'm not knitting , tho :) i'm crocheting.
i don't know how to knit.
But I can make a mean chili.
pram?
my vote on painting is "swirly designs" as i prefer abstract! anything would be neato on that...
i send you love ana. i think of you daily.
(tomorrow is the seattle summer solstice parade i dance in! i gotta rest up for that) take it easy ana...must be interesting how the body changes during these 9 months.

I also concur on the awesomeness of said you.
You look fabulous, hon. I'm very excited for all six of you in the voog household.

You look great, I hope all goes well. Take it easy and enjoy this freedom and quiet that you have now. It will all be changing very soon!
