mary poppins style

yesterday i had some time to clean up my studio & get ready for the new year. well, i started cleaning anyway, but then i found myself day dreaming about a new design, so i ended up spending the rest of hudson's precious naptime (!) playing around with the new idea.

i know it's only january, not really close to spring, yet. maybe it's the rainy, grey days we've been having lately that have made me want a bright, fun umbrella!
anyhow, this is what was floating around in my head...

i had been thinking up an umbrella design for awhile, & then the combo of red/pink with the black polkas hit me, & voila! i just loooove this fabric. i'm thinking of what fun, bold curtains it would make (hint, hint - mom!).

happy almost new year :)
