I have to admit I have just been yearning to start to sew again. When I see images like these I am over the top with joy! Who wouldn't love a little crafty spot all organized in turquoise and a vintage turquoise sewing machine. The pin cushion and sachets are such cute simple projects~
I hope this has you wanting to create a little sewing space for yourself and are inspired to get creative! I just ordered some sewing project books and can't wait until they get here! When they do I will do a short review and let you know what projects I am going to do. In the mean time I came across this tutorial for a simple reversible bag!

The color for 201o is turquoise and Pantone has a press release article about it~
I have to say it has always been one of my favorite colors in its many variations. As a child I had painted my room turquoise, yes I did and how lovely of my mother to let me do it. It was bold it was beatiful and invigerating. Today in my living room there is a architechural jet of a triangle. What to do with it? That was easy for me I had already painted my living room currant red on three walls and a soft off white on the other and ceiling and of course I choose turquoise for the trianglular shape. Who knew I was ahead of my time. Or was I? I did a little looking around and found it was quite popular even before when I loved it as a child. I love it just as much now!!
What is your favorite turquiose color combination? Well right now I know is mine currant red and turquoise. Do let me know what you are loving about 2010's color of the year!! I would love to know your thoughts!! Have you used it in your fashion choices? Decor? Or even in your crafty pieces of artwork?
