Then I wake up and think .....I dream of ideas too. Then I wake up and think ..how can I do this for real. I was doing this when I was napping today. I'm giving my husband a birthday party Mid July and I'm making paper runners and thinking about how I was decorating them..etc.<br /><br />I like the pink couch much better than the green. That green needs to be used on something different. I liked the table that was painted that green. <br /><br />Anyways, I'm glad things continue to go well for you and your shop.<br /><br />KatharineKat's Purrfect Boutiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581855234416469744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214749393367392928.post-32785230795859878342012-06-26T17:19:01.013-04:002012-06-26T17:19:01.013-04:00I would drive the 200 miles for a workshop if you ...I would drive the 200 miles for a workshop if you can guarantee that Betsy Speert would be there to provide a running commentary.Nutbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06582321253031488710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214749393367392928.post-22115945670076228802012-06-26T17:11:45.563-04:002012-06-26T17:11:45.563-04:00Ashley, on of my followers on The Muse, has a blog...Ashley, on of my followers on The Muse, has a blog called 'ideas at midnight'. i guess we're not the only ones Amy. <br /><br />love the sofa pink and GREAT workshop!Pamela Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13251452639317129182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214749393367392928.post-78014078841743533282012-06-26T10:56:00.009-04:002012-06-26T10:56:00.009-04:00Oh I love that pink sofa so much more in your shop...Oh I love that pink sofa so much more in your shop! Definitely fits you and the shop better.<br /><br />I almost choked on my coffee at the dream part you just wrote. "...often that is when I find these dreamy ideas are the right ones. Do you ever dream up ideas that seem to be so right you can't believe you couldn't think of them when awake?"<br /><br />I swear, I just typed nearly the same thing in a post that I'm typing about my fabric line right now! I had a little dream last night too. So the answer to your question is YES!<br /><br />The Sunday workshops look like so much fun.<br /><br />xo,<br />JamiAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04095579611035877956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214749393367392928.post-22169587385626509542012-06-26T10:01:28.114-04:002012-06-26T10:01:28.114-04:00I wish I lived closer so I could go to a workshop....I wish I lived closer so I could go to a workshop.

I have to tell you I don't really care for that Antibes green myself. I sometimes think you get some great ideas or solutions when you are falling asleep because your mind is clearer; not thinking about as much as during the day as you are trying to get things done. I love the variety of pieces that people did! I'm trying Coco next and just tried Provence yesterday on a frame.Kathy @ Creative Home Expressionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341667486449125153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214749393367392928.post-7607538090979047072012-06-25T02:03:48.078-04:002012-06-25T02:03:48.078-04:00I love your sofa!!!

Looking at your pink sofa shot, and thinking about your previous post with the problems with being able to see the window art/lettering against the curtain swags (when you look in from the street view). <br /><br />What if you left the swags that hang down the outsides, but you connected the ones in the middle (connected crown to crown with one swag - one that dips a little bit but doesn't hang down into the lettering)?<br /><br />Just an idle thought from a lurker. :-)One Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16158012678615158153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214749393367392928.post-64092863789182495162012-06-24T23:59:36.785-04:002012-06-24T23:59:36.785-04:00Oh please do paint the sofa pink!
