::Happy Without Sunshine::
I got paid to sew a pillow today. I’m so happy!
Ok, ignore the pillow for a minute and the poor quality of the photo. See what it looks like outside? I always thought that going back to work in Seattle meant I would need coffee and a slap by noon…but Sarah really put thought into the lighting at her shop Fabric Crush. It really shows the true color of the fabric (unlike my photo) and will likely keep me from Seasonal Depression.
Cross your fingers I’ll learn how to take better photos in it someday.
One of the wonderful things about working at her fabric boutique is coming up with lovely fabric combos all day long. I loved the Anna Maria Horner dots with the new Amy Butler Love. And while I was taking the photo I noticed how lovely the bolt the pillow is sitting on looked with the Carolina Chambrays below.
So much fun!
What a fun way to spend your day! Did you guys watch the game yesterday? Exciting!
Gee what a bummer to hang out with bolts and bolts of fabric all day! 😉
You have the worst job in the world. I’d just hate to have to look at all of that fabric all day.
Nice to see the Seattle weather is worse than the UK. It makes me slightly less envious 😉
Lovely pillow. A perfect fabric combo!!
Think of us as you slave away in that hell hole!!
You have a tough life, it must be awful to be surrounded by bolts and bolts of beautiful fabric all day, NOT! I love the cushion, gorgeous appliqué. I love the Carolina Chambray, I recently bought some for the first time and it is divine. Keep your chin up despite your awful surrounds. LOL 🙂
Oh what I would do for rain! We haven’t had it in months, but we have snow for almost two weeks.
Oh what I would do to work where you work!
Oh, how awesome is that pillow! And what wonderful fabric combinations you are coming up with! I know some people like to use fabric lines for confidence in knowing that the fabrics go together, but the possibilities when we open ourselves up to combing fabrics from different lines is endless and beautiful! Plus — AMH and AB are two of my favorites! Love them together :).
Oh — and as another NW gal — it’s quilting weather, Baby! Enjoy! Looks like Fabric Crush supplies year-round sunshine on the inside!
My most favorite job EVER was working in a fabric store. I sure miss it!
do you work in a fabric store??? sorry i don’t know that and now i’m a little jealous!
i love those fabrics too!!
Gorgeous pillow! I love that center fabric. I think I’m going to be jumping on that pillow bandwagon pretty soon here 🙂
I’m not ignoring the pillow! It is divine! Very pretty.
I work in an art gallery/yarn/bead/espresso store surrounded by the sea and here in Southeast Alaska it can get quite gloomy… lighting is everything 🙂 Don’t you just love that fact that we are surrounded by such loveliness everyday. Love it!
How LOVELY! I still need a slap and a cup of coffee in the afternoon, but I can totally see why you do not. Your pillow is divine, and the shop itself looks like heaven.
How fun to get a chance to work in such a lovely shop!
I love those 2 fabrics paired together! 🙂
