speaking of IKEA....

Remember when I made that Big Bag from a couch cushion cover in the IKEA As-Is section?
It was a....cinch!
Heh heh.

And just reminds of the many reasons I love IKEA: Smart, affordable, simple.

Funny thing looking at those old photos....I'm wearing the same shirt I eventually turned into my semi-homemade Maternity Shirt Tutorial.  Wow.  Was I really pregnant THREE years ago?? 
It's weird to think that I'll never go through that again.

But it's not weird to think how many more countless times I will go to IKEA.
Haah.  I guess they're part of the family!
And probably part of your family too.

So I was thrilled when the curator of the IKEA museum in Sweden contacted me about my Sewing Room from the old house.  The museum (which is not open yet) is currently putting together exhibits for both the BILLY Bookcase and the KLIPPAN sofa---showing how universally loved these items.  And showing what people do with them.  She noticed that I use my BILLYs to store fabric and asked if I would contribute my story to their blog.

Um.  Yes please.
So if you'd like a little BILLY tale, head on over!

And if you have your own story to share, you can submit on the site as well!
There are many fun stories and photos on there.

Okay. 
Over and out.
I need an IKEA cinnamon roll.
