And that's led to my love of William Morris works...

Don't know who William Morris is? Check him out here.

I actually discovered him through tonicliving.com and these wonderful fabrics:

Unfortunately, they've been out of stock but I plan on ordering some ASAP when they have it in.

But for now, I'm working on doing a set of William Morris Replica squares... I'm thinking of doing 9 squares ultimately, but here's the one I finished today:

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Another painting well underway

I think I've been bitten by the painting bug. 

After I finished up the Pike Place Market blueprint, I started right away on this one:

I'm still not done with it after 2 solid days of work. After I finish my first cup of coffee, I start working and don't stop until 6:00 when the bf gets home from work. 

I've never been so sore in my entire life. And I sailed competitively in college, so I know a thing or two about being sore from head to toe.

But it's been entirely worth it.
