This and that

I'm loving anything chevron these days--which (I never knew) is also known as herringbone. Is that an embarrassing admission?! Man, is my crafty, sewing mother going to kill me for not knowing that one! Eh, you learn something new everyday, right? At any rate, here is some great chevron inspiration...

I've been seeing a lot of DIY chevron projects out there, which I'm interested in trying. They seem relatively simple given the straight forward design. But the online tutorials I've seen seem SO involved...even when the DIY'r in question tells you it's easy. If ever there was a person to screw this one up, it would certainly be me! Although, at this point it would be totally foolish of me to start another project around here (especially with the holidays in full swing). I guess this would be filed under "things to do in 2011"!
