Embrace Version 3

Last night I cleared off my work table and began reworking “Embrace.” This time I started with yellow-oranges on the right and I plan on loosely gradating the colors to yellow-greens on the left. I didn’t get quite finished, but I think I’m liking this direction much more that the hand-dyed version.

But it will have to wait. Today I decided we had to go to Ikea. I really wanted to get some of these cute fabric vegetables. Sadly, they were completely out of stock. I did get the fabric fruit but now I’m going to have to stalk the website to see when they get more of the vegetables in stock.

While we were there, I convinced DH that we should get something to put his computer on instead of the ugly 1950’s stool that he was using. His study area is part of the studio/family room, so I benefit too. We ended up with a small Goliat drawer unit which turned out to be a perfect choice. He hung a Bygel basket on the side to hold his speakers — before, we were continually knocking them off onto the floor.

Now he has a place for the remote controls, our nightly Dove dark chocolates (they’re good for our hearts — two per night whether we need them or not!), and a few of his study books.
