It looks like a sunny Saturday Studio day this morning as I gaze outside my bedroom window. It's usually dark most mornings I rise, but on Saturday's I have the luxury of sleeping in a bit.
Bittersweet Studio is beginning to look nothing like the balmy weather outdoors on the exception of it's starting to look cheery and bright.
I've even dug out my favorite Christmas CD to play today while working in the studio. I love Blossom Dearies sweet soft voice. I've blogged about her singing talents before. If you have never listened to her, you must!
There will soon be frost on the pumpkins and the days will be spinning closer to the holidays. I'm beginning to embellish some studio corners with holiday sparkles. Remember the little house Bonnie made? It makes a charming setting in the little Bittersweet room.
I've began making festive origami pouches. I love the simplicity of origami! I'm particularly fond of that red paper too. These little pouches offer an adorable presentation, and are perfect for holding bath salts or soap. Or fill them with a few home baked holiday cookies. They would make cute Halloween treat pouches too.
I picked up this fabric in the juvenile section of the fabric store the other day. The opposite side is checkered. I stuffed them with chamomile and lavender. You place the dream pillow inside your pillowcase. The soothing combination of chamomile and lavender will aromatically swoon you into a calming relaxing hibernating winters sleep.
During my trip to Joann's the other day I spotted a scrap booker's haven. An isle filled with Amy Butler paper products that are utterly adorable!
I fell in paper love with these scalloped cards. The sky is the limit on paper ephemeral available nowadays! Love it!!
Tomorrow Julie and I are traveling west to one of our favorite twice a year flea market shows. I can't wait! I always find delicious stuff!
