SOS: inspired by bedding!

This week we have an interesting challenge for you over at Shopping Our Stash:

...we want you to get inspired by your bedding!

For many people, home decor is a hobby, and they're good at it. Not me. I swear, if it weren't for having kids and trying to be respectable, we'd still be using lawn chairs in the living room with milk crates for ottomans! That said,  we do have a really nice Pendleton on our bed, bought for me by my hubs when I was pregnant with our youngest.

Here's my card:

...inspired by this blanket:

Don't mind the feathers...

Supplies and notes:

• The blue paper comes from a pad my best friend gave me years ago.  It matches the down blanket we keep on our bed year-round... hence the feathers!
• I used an old (6 years old?) stitching punch by EK Success with some ancient wool embroidery thread
• I painted the blanket with Loew Cornell watercolors (had since college)

So, go make your bed, then go make something pretty and share it with us at Shopping Our Stash!

Remember: you can make anything inspired by the challenge... for this challenge, you can go my route and make a card, or what about being creative in a different way and making a canvas to hang in your room, or even making a pillow to match your bedding?  Ahhh, if only I had more hours in a day!

This was a tricky challenge for many of us on the DT, but it kind of inspired me to roll up my sleeves and jump right in... it's a challenge, right???  So, think like Tom Petty and don't back down!
