Color Test

A customer asked me for green sewing machine tags.  So I had to do a test of all of the greens in what I think is what she is looking for.  This was kinda fun.  Don't ask me how many I threw out because you couldn't see them at all.....  These are the ones that worked.

Chalk Ink Lime Pastel

Chalk Ink Olive Pastel

I really thought this would look a bit lighter it's Distress Peeled Paint

Distress Shabby Shutters

Way more greyed out on this paper than I thought.  Momento Bamboo Leaves

All of the inks I used.    I did need to get to the store to purchase a lighter green bakers twine.  Silly of me but my other green is very Forrest and totally dark wouldn't go with these at all.  Now I'm happy with the way they look. 

About to Bloom

Our Crab Apple Tree is about to bloom this is my favorite thing to look at out my kitchen window.

The Lonely Tulip


This is a Lonely Tulip in my backyard.  It shows up every year right next to one of my shrubs.  It's very pretty though.

Paper Cranes

A display of Paper Cranes in the girls school.  You can make one at school for a $1 donation to the Japan Tsunami Relief.  The girls love doing this during their lunch break.

School Open House

My Mom arrived yesterday and the Girls had their school open house last night.  They had a great time dragging Grandma all over the school.  Afterwards we all went out for a late dinner.
