Wordy Wednesdays

What can I say, I’m amused by the little things

I picked up two pieces of fabric a couple of days ago (no, not for my stash – I have projects planned!) and just pulled them out of the bag to be pre-washed.

So why am I amused?  The two fabrics are for completely different projects, for different people – and yet, they coordinate beautifully:

The green fleece is for a bunting bag and car seat cover.  It’s chilly enough here in the winter time that we’re going to need both to keep the little one toasty warm!

The pink is for a friend who loves El Dia de la Muertos, or Day of the Dead projects.  The skulls are covered with lush, pink roses and the effect is oddly cheerful.

For some reason, that green fleece and the little green leaves on the pink print match beautifully.  When I think about how many times I’ve tried to match colors, especially green, it makes me smile.  Sometimes the universe just makes things work – even though they won’t be used together!
