Seeing RED...Polka Dots

To say I like red might be an understatement.

RED

When I go to the store the RED flowers are the ones that always catch my eye.

A-Little-Bit-of-Everything

The walls in my kitchen and great room are RED.

But one thing I like better than RED is POLKA DOTS.

So when I saw this RED POLKA DOT fabric I just had to make something with it.

First I wrapped my initials in Minnie Mouse's signature fabric.
I mounted them on 2 canvases that I had started but didn't know how I wanted to finish them

Initials

 now I know.

Homemade Napkins

I love making these very simple napkins so of course I whipped up a few in RED POLKA DOTS to mix up with the screaming yellow ones I just made.

Now I just have to keep them away from my mother and daughter...
Do you think RED is inherited??????

So simple pleasures are the best,
a $9.99 bouquet and a yard of fabric
has made me one happy girl!.

Enjoy!

Red has never been my favorite color, but since blogging I have seen so many red things and now I have fallen in love with the color and adding it to my home whenever I can. Just love your red things.

Kelley, I can't believe how much I love this fabric you picked up. Those canvases are so great and I love all the color going on in your beautiful house. I think this post energized me to the point that I no longer need that nap I was about to take.

Hello Kelley
thank you for the kind words on my blog...you are quite lucky to live in Northern Michigan! :)
I love your red in the kitchen (wondering if it is Behr's Hawaiian Cinder?) we had our family room this color and I miss it...only been in our new place 6 weeks now and so much work to be done.
