Feeling Inspired!

Ok, so it's no secret that I have a thing for patterns. Right. But have I ever mentioned that I'm really, really bad about sticking to them? Weird, right? Sometimes I just add a trim of some kind. Sometimes I'll throw in some color work. Evey now and then I put a bird on it (ack, I couldn't help it! Portlandia!)

So anyway, let's just have a little fun with some ideas—birds or no birds.

Happy Wednesday!
