Progress: Sewing Room

Really excited to finally make sure of my little sewing table!

Want: Table Linens

Ah, gentle readers, your MatchGirl, I'm sure has mentioned Boyfriend's love of linens. So, though I feel we are still settling in, I find myself, when time allows, looking for napkins and placemats and such that might meet both our aesthetic needs.

Inspiration: The Purl Bee

As your MatchGirl has mentioned a couple of times, Boyfriend digs linens. Seriously into 'em. But none of the cloth napkins we already own seem to live up to his standards. We saw this post on The Purl Bee and now I'm wondering if we should just make our own...

Inspiration: Braided Rugs

Growing up in New England, your MatchGirl was surrounded by braided rugs. It has been a long time since I have given them any thought. As a little girl, I would lay on the rugs in our house and marvel and the braids and the mixes of colors, but in our house, and in the nearby houses of my dairy farm pals, the braided rug was very much a utilitarian item.

Shopping Trip: Ikea

Even though Boyfriend and I haven't found a new place yet (seriously, if you know of one in Greenpoint for April 1, hook a girl up!) we decided to go on a reconnaissance mission to Ikea.

On a Saturday.
