I'm
wrapping up an assortment of projects to clear my plate for August's
design marathon. I hope time slows down a bit for the next two weeks.
Elijah is starting junior high school and I'm – just – not – ready.
birthday bike
arrive will do the trick. I haven't been this excited about a
birthday present since I-can't-remember-when. She's vanilla with pink
rims, a rattan basket & a wooden rack — my creamcycle cruiser.
With a drink cup and bell — vrrink-vrrink.
recreating the moody depth of Laura's paintings; it's hard to believe
these are flat, smooth fabrics. Stretch one print across a canvas and
it's instant wall art.
I'm so proud of her. Laura has developed
a unique painting style over the years. One of the last things we did
together before she moved away 4 years ago was experiment with textured
canvasses. Now she's a master of texture. Laura has a collection of art prints heading to Crate & Barrel and a rich, new collection of fabrics as well.
Wish
Laura a Happy Birthday, will you? At a mere 2 weeks older, she paves
the birthday way for me each year. I hear birthday sirens sound long
about July 26th, when it's time for Laura's slice of cake. "Brace
yourself, Heather, here it comes." I ordered my bike today, so bring
it on.
Watch for Laura's Lantern Bloom fabrics too — definitely
a collection to see in person. You can even make out bits of canvas in
some of the prints.
Ooh the bike sounds splendid! Can’t wait to see a photo!
Definitely gorgeous fabrics and I can see them used to make the most beautiful room. Enjoy your new cream-cycle.
The bike is beautiful! Can’t wait to see the basket on it.
The fabrics are beautiful also. Happy Birthday, Laura!
My wife Linda would love a bike like that too, basket, bell, and all ….she wants a 3 wheeeler though! Happy pre-birthday to you, and now I will head on over to wish Laura a wonderful birthday too!
Gotta love that bike – I’ve been eyeing a similar one – love that old vintage look.
I got an aqua-blue beach cruiser for my birthday 2 years ago, and it’s still my favorite present of all. I love riding it in town and filling my bike basket with a fresh bouquet from the local road-side flower stop. So fun! I got cruisers for my girls too. Enjoy!
Laura’s fabrics are gorgeous. I was following her booth during the quilt-market buzz. Can’t wait to get my hands on those beautiful prints!
eep! that is one awesome looking bike!!!
I love my bike too! I have an Electra – The Betty in black & pink. Complete with dice on the air valves, pink walls, pink & silver flames… I’ve been crying about a basket FOR-EVER!!! Someday… Enjoy!!
H,
The bike sounds fanastic. Can’t wait to see photos of it! And that sweet pillow?!? Bravo! I adore it!
Wishing Laura a WONDERFUL birthday!
Oh my goodness. That bike is heavenly!
Happy Birthday Heather and Laura! I LOVE that bike! That bike is so cute it needs it’s own hat and soundtrack!

You will love yours too.
Happy Birthday to you and Ms. Gunn! That is a lovely bike!
My new anniversary bike had to have some gears because everywhere I go requires a hill climb. Even so, I found a cruiser to love. Check it out…

Please show us a picture of your new bike when it arrives!
Cute bike. I have one in blue. I attached a small basket to the back and have a cycle bell as well. Love the large seat, so comfy.
I hope the bike is as exciting as the anticipation of the bike!
Stopping by to give a little blog ♥
I have bike envy! The fabric is sensational, I have so much fabric on my wish list right now, but this is shooting right to the top!
Lovely bike. And a high schooler–what a milestone!
love the red!
Happy Birthday early!
And thanks for the reminder on that fabric! Such a talented family.
and happy birthday to you! I love these LG fabrics, too, and am making a headboard and quilt set for my 21 year olds new apartment in York PA.
“Have Gunn, will travel…”
Don’t mention that at the airport though, Nancy.
That pillow definitely looks like a window with shutters half closed. Wonderful illusionary creativity! The red handbag is also fantastic. Nice work. Keep it up!
What brand is your bike. I want one just like it in hot pink.
Very cute pillow! I have some wonderful pillows on my bed, but your one just the best! I like the colors you used for that. I always follow your blog to search a beautiful goods you are making! Thank you for the amazing work!
