7 inspired by: neon.

Every now and then there seems to be a theme within the things that I'm making, wearing, buying, and decorating with.  For awhile now I feel like a lot of things around me are following a current trend that I never thought I'd get behind: neon.

Maybe it's because I'm craving a serious dose of color (it is white and colorless around here in February) but honestly I pieced together that quilt and pincushion last year sometime.  I agree that sometimes neon can hurt the eyes a bit, but when paired with crisp whites, calming grays, and more pastel versions of the neon shades, or grounded with a deep purple or coral they are so pretty to me!

I think my obsession with neon started with this quilt.  I've had it basted for a long time now, just need to quilt and bind it!

I found neon hanging on my wall, on my fingernails, and in my sewing and office supplies.

 In a pincushion I made (there are a few in my shop), Cosmo floss, and some twine.

I bought this twine at Home Depot of all places, and plan to make a few bracelets with it for Valentine's gifts.

I found this wooden "D" at Walmart recently, and painted it to add a pop of color to our living room shelves.  I found the scarves I've used as a backdrop here while thrifting this week.  I think I'm going to frame them and hang them in our guest room!

I think it's pretty safe to say that neon is everywhere in our house at the moment!  Good thing we have a lot of gray walls to break up all the brightness.  What about you?  Have you jumped on the neon bandwagon?
