playing with pattern.

Oh man, I have been all over the place with a plan for our new duvet cover/quilt. I found an image in Handmade Living of a mismatched fabric duvet cover and I haven't stopped thinking about it. So that is what we're going with. Finally, last week I took the plunge and bought fabric from fabric.com. It arrived yesterday and I have already washed, cut and started to sew long strips of squares. Check back later this afternoon for an update. It's going to be totally imperfect - but I am loving how the patterns and colors are looking together.

Fabric from left to right : Michael Miller (MM) Summer Soiree Chevron Yellow/White, MM Ta Dot Stone, MM Quarter Dot Grey, MM Two by Two Stripe Sunny, Premium Broadcloth Silver, Moda City Weekend Urban Grid Downtown Turquoise & Amy Butler Sun Spots.

My name is Elise Blaha Cripe. I live in San Diego, California with my husband and our two young daughters.

I make stuff like it's my job.

In 2015 I launched GET TO WORK BOOK®, a daily planner + goal-setting journal. In October 2019, my book about getting stuff done, Big Dreams, Daily Joys hit bookstores everywhere. For almost ten years, this blog was where I shared (daily!) general life musings, insight into being a small business owner and the occasional craft project. In 2021, I am sharing again as we prepare to move back home to Northern California and renovate our dream cottage. I have closed comments, but feel free to email me at elise[@]gettoworkbook.com if you have any questions about a post you see here.

If you're new here, I invite you to browse the archives, read my small business story or start with some of my favorite things to write about, DIY home decor & goal-setting. You can also listen to my motivational speech about the power of making bold statements.

Still looking for more content? Listen to my creative podcast, take one of my eCourses or subscribe to my newsletter.

Thank you so much for dropping by.
