Spring has sprung! It's official, and though I can't speak for the rest of the country - out here in California, it's showing! This weather get me into major planning mode and I start thinking up all the fun things we
need to do this season. Actually, once the time changes I spring into that mode - and start reserving camping spots and prepping for hikes ASAP. All this talk reminded me of an awesome picnic blanket project I saw on
Design*Sponge last fall, this is a total afternoon project:
The pattern is great, and this uses one of my favorite mediums: spray paint! And an old sheet. Perfect little picnic set up. Stevie & Ashley provide a well written tutorial over on
Design*Sponge - swing by and get the details.
Our house is starting to get a lot more sun now, and it's really exciting to see that the front deck right of the kitchen gets BLASTED for about 4 hours... I could totally see us deck-picnic-ing on a big blanket like this, soaking up the rays... here's a photo that was taken about noon...just the beginning:
Glorious sunshine, and a huge cat. Let's just say, she's "permanently pregnant", heh.. you can see that even though it's a big towel, a large blanket would be ideal. I'll have to think of a way to make it padded..any ideas?
What projects & activities do you have planned now that spring has sprung? An early start is a great way to make the most of it... Enjoy!
