finding it

inspiration isn't always easy to come by. i have blogged about how i am struggling with it now that i focus mostly on knitting. i made some progress this last week. this one falls in the entertaining category. i put together a little dinner for my mom on sunday.


it all started with the napkins i bought, i used them as my inspiration. from there, i found a fabric image online and converted it to the color theme i wanted in photoshop. with my handy dandy printer i made cool placemats (covered with clear contact paper), a table runner, wrapping paper and a wrap for the candle cups.


i also made a framed print to hang.


it turned out really cool. it was a very bold combination and i had fun making all the little stuff to match. i also made a lot of the food and was really happy with the platter of grilled balsamic veggies i made (recipe from giada, everyday italian). yum! i think everyone enjoyed themselves (just 4 of us, mom, dad, bro and me) and that is what is important.

and no, i didn't go to the yarn sale. :)

grey's tonight. gotta watch. seriously? burke?? and writers, you know i heart derek, but give finn a chance huh?
