The Intersection of Design & Motherhood
I’m kind of obsessed lately with images of pretty paper creations hanging from the ceiling. Is it all the laying-down-and-looking-up-because-I’m pregnant? I saw this image on Poppytalk. Isn’t it amazing?

Your obsession has become my obsession. This is lovely.
It’s not because you’re pregnant, it’s because it’s awesome! New goal :)
I am in love and dreaming….
That IS amazing. Would be cool turned into a baby mobile.
I had the same obsession, I was looking for cute baby mobiles. Look at these cute mobiles.

It is amazing. It’s like Avatar in white paper!
that is awesome. makes me want to get out a whole lotta white paper and start creating!
Wow those are gorgeous! I love all those hanging stuff too… We’ve hung up pom poms and paper cranes in the nursery (pictures at http://makingmum.blogspot.com/2010/03/monday-made-martha-stewart-pom-poms-as.html), but this is even better! :)
This is beautiful, and I understand your obsession. But I can’t help thinking about the dust that would inevitably collect up there…
I love this!
I sewed a DIY mobile from fabric and vintage paper cut into leaf shapes and another with hearts for valentines day. It was easier than I thought and really is dreamy to sit under.
