\"freshly-washed-linen1\"<\/p>\n

There’s something about freshly washed linen that’s a mood booster. I’m talking about plain fabric here, and not fitted sheets or shams. Rumpled and textured and oh-so-soft, when I look at these, I pretend I live in the French countryside in a charming villa painted a dusty bleu-grey, overlooking fields of lavender. I can practically hear\u00a0a baby goat bleating nearby.<\/p>\n

\"freshly-washed-linen2\"<\/p>\n

I have plans for these beauties. But because I’ve noticed that I categorically avoid making the things I declare as part of my plans\u00a0(rather, it seems to take me longer to execute when I declare anything on the blog), I’m going to keep mum until I have\u00a0something to show. But isn’t it nice just to look at the luscious linen? Doesn’t it make you want to\u00a0toss the pile into a handwoven laundry basket and head outside to clip them to a clothesline (wooden pegs, of course) and watch them gently flap in the wind? No? Is it, in fact, making you shake your head that I obviously have nothing to say and am filling up the space with nonsense?<\/p>\n

Deadlines, people. I’m currently translating a Japanese craft book and I have to have it completed by next Tuesday. Whenever I’m in deadline mode, I need to let off some steam by adding something here. Makes me feel productive. More soon. Promise.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I am dying<\/em> to get my hands on these metallic linens<\/a> from Purl Soho<\/a>. Anyone\u00a0sewn with\u00a0these yet? I want every color, but so pricey!<\/p>\n

P.S. In case you’re wondering, the white and indigo linens are from District Fabric<\/a> – at $8 per yard for 100% linen, it was a very good deal. The yarn-dyed pink cotton linen lawn (I know!) was from Miss Matatabi<\/a>. I can’t remember where I got the other ones (here<\/a>, probably), but they’re gorgeous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
