This week is a “half-beach and half-school + workweek.”Oh, we’ve had a spectacular summer and I hope you’ve had a same. Thesepies and picnic blanket perfectly encapsulate both worlds with a small salute to readingand the fabric of our water-fill-ed summer. I designed this picnic blanket fabric several year back inspired by mykids. I can’t dress the kids in these patterns anymore, but, it doesremain apart of my picnic set. Sharing it here is both a piece of our everyday world and also another idea I wonder if you might enjoy too:have you ever thought toturn your kidssummer artwork into a pillowcase?If you’re looking for a special project for your kids, use their illustrations to create fabric. Here’s an example and some more details of how I did this with one of ourson’s drawing. (HERE)
