draw! pilgrim time machine: a look back at august 2009

did you see i cracked the 100 post landmark last week? its been 6 full months since i started the draw! pilgrim blog so its time for a little retrospective, isn't it? i've gained readers, and life experience, and blogging skillzz (sic) since then so allow me to transport you to a more primitive time, haha. settle down with some fine wine and cheese and enjoy some classic pilgrim.

one of australia's leading entertainment and news sites 'the vine' featured me in their arts section! see me, my work and a tour of my studio in 'a bubblegum rainbow studio visit'

did you catch part one of the equally amazing and bizarre columbia minerva 'fables and fabulous yarns' pattern book? such great patterns! but who thought to make it part story book, part pattern book?! a genius, that's who.

i shared the beautiful illustrations from my favorite picture book 'wings on wednesday' i've loved reading the comments that have come in since, from others who grew up reading and loving it too. if you read it or liked a similar book, leave a comment! i'd love to know.

i detailed the finishing touch to my bedroom before and after, the transformation of a vintage wicker head board. i still love waking up in this bright and sunny bedroom. its even good for curling up and reading in a sunbeam in the afternoon.

aww look! its one of my first round ups: fab fabrics, flickr's florals. do you enjoy seeing etsy and flickr inspiration round ups? i certainly enjoy curating them. i like to think of it as 'window shopping' because there is no way i could afford or store all of the amazing fabrics i find! haha you're welcome, bank account!

whether you're a new reader or you've seen all this before, i hope you've enjoyed this look back. its interesting for me, having a blog to look back through, because i've never been a journal-keeper. i hope at draw! pilgrim's first anniversary we can share some more fun memories together. wait, isn't the traditional first anniversary gift 'paper'? maybe i'll print the whole blog out and post it to each and every one of you! better start printing now...
