Michel brought home this book yesterday. I believe it's from Pottery Barn. I don't exactly know what Pottery Barn is...is it sort of the American Ikea?
It's filled with beautiful photos of wonderful kids' rooms.
Lots of inspiration.
I love this.

Last week I had a great idea for a flowerlike placemat. I thought it would be so cool. So I drew the shape and cut all the fabrics and sewed them all together...so far so good. But when I added the back-fabric, I suddenly thought it would be nicer to make a cushion out of it. Uh-oh, mistake! This is how it turned out:
I can tell you that it looked very different in my head ;)
Oh and this is what got this weekend to make up for Michel's maggot eating. Oh I didn't tell about the maggot eating yet?! Well, one day Michel made three crackers with cheese for himself. After he had eaten two, he noticed a little wriggly something on his plate. After a closer look it turned out to be a maggot. Michel looked at his remaining cracker and saw a couple of other maggots in there too...did I mention he already ate two at this point? Soooooo grooooooooosssssss!!!!!!!
So I wrote an angry letter and this what we got. Maggots are supposed to be very nutricious by the way ;)
*just 1 kilo this week, so that's 8 in total*

oh, i saw that book on flickr and i thought it might be pottery barn! it's a store and catalog here, but it's pretty expensive. i love to drool over the catalog and get ideas from it, though.
Pottery Barn is a higher-end furniture store in the US. That book has tons of great ideas!
And I think your flower is very pretty.
Love the idea of having drawers under the stairs, looks like a good book.
Love the book, like the wonky pillow too! Maggot crackers,hmmm, that puts a new outlook on the high protein diet!
Ick! Maggots! Now I need to check my Bolletje stuff in my cupboard. Maybe if they knew you were going to write about it on the blog they would've sent more stuff!
Well I like the pillow, I think its cute and I also love your little tissue holders too! Very sweet fabrics!
Hello from America! I love your blog! Of course, over looking the thought of eating maggots ..LOL. Love your fabric choices! Yes, Pottery Barn is a fav here! I love the style-though I never ordered anything.;)
eew, maggots!! this post got me squirming I can tell you, how awful!! If you dont like your patchwork cushion why not un-stuff it and turn it back into a placemat?
We don't have Pottery Barn in Canada, but I check it out online for the ideas and inspiration.
A favourite joke here is, "What's worse than finding a worm in your apple?"
Answer: half a worm
Reading about the maggots reminded me of that. My country grandmother would sift weevils out of her flour and proceed to make bread and I didn't think anything of it when I was young. I've since changed my mind!
i think your cushion looks great! i love it.
that maggot story is really, really, really gross!!!
Glad you visited my blog. I love your crafts,the fabrics are beautiful, and your craft room is uplifting because I am messy too and seeing yours makes me feel better!!!

I don't get it how are maggots nutritious? Even in the Netherlands the kids pottery barn catalog looks divive...I'd be happy if I could turn out a wonky pillow, it would be proof enough that a creative stitch exists within me!;)
maggots eh? I've caught my little one dipping a stick in the toilette bowl and licking it. Do I need to tell you that someone had visited the toilette earler and not flushed? I'd rather have maggot every day!!!
Well done with the diet, 8 kg is brilliant. What do you eat? I'd love to loose about 6 or 7. That would be good for me.
so nice to find another Dutch blogger that writes in English! I'm still a Dutch citizen, and hope to visit next year. Thanks for your comment.
P.S. Pottery Barn is a much smaller home furnishing and decorating store than Ikea, and much more expensive. Nice things, though!
