I read one of my favorite blogs, Carol's House and Home Defined,this past Sunday and was asked this question: In your home, what defines you?
It's so easy to decorate, redecorate, undecorate, but do we add a bit of ourselves to our surrounding?
For me, well it's ribbon and I have two pieces that I've made that are in our home and are ME! Not my husband, kids, cat, decorator friends, just plain ol' me.
In my previous life, I was an educator for Bernina of America, Inc. and did all things sewing. It was a great way to combine both my vocation with my avocation. To this day, that still defines me. So as I was looking around, it was easy to pick out a piece that says me. I knew it would include ribbon. Embroidered French silk ribbon. And it would be outside the rules.
This quilted and appliqued piece is described in more detail HERE.
But I have another, too.
Ribbon fabric.
Of course, once again, embroidered French silk ribbons.
Sewn side by side to create a workable sized piece of fabric.
Embroidered on each end.
You can read more HERE.
So what in your home defines who you are?
Leave a comment and maybe a link to something on your blog.
I'd love to come take a look.
As I will run back to Carol's this week to see all the comments!
You pose an interesting question. I think what defines me is that I have little beach touches throughout my house, even if I do live in Illinois and it is winter. I love the water, so I use the colors of the sea to accent the browns and taupes that look as if they actually "belong" here.
