Meet my Box of Crayons

Since this was such a crazy week and I didn't get to upload this weeks pictures due to my laptop being temperamental. :( I have decided to introduce you to my family. I have been learning alot about the "in" colors for the season. Did you know that the "In" color for this spring is 'Honeysuckle'? It's a deep shade pink just lighter than red! Yes, so I have replaced the word 'pink' with 'Honeysuckle' in my pink listings on Etsy. here. Doesn't 'Honeysuckle' seem so much more sophisticated than just plain 'PINK' ???


The "in" color for me is Purple. All Shades of purple make me feel happy!!! Here is what I learned about my favorite color: Purple has a sense of mystic and royal qualities, purple is a color often well liked by very creative or eccentric types and is the favorite color of adolescent girls. So does this tell you something about me?? :) I don't think I have yet outgrown the adolescent stage of my life! LOL



So now to introduce you to the rest of the Family!


My Husband, 'Big Blue' It sure wasn't hard to decide which color was Him. Blue is the overwhelming "favorite color." Blue is seen as trustworthy, dependable, and committed. The color of ocean and sky, blue is perceived as a constant in our lives. It invokes rest and can cause the body to produce chemicals that are calming. That is my Husband for sure! I am so proud of the Daddy he has become! Taking a new job AND a pay cut just to have more time at home with his family! I Love who I am when I am with him!!


Ok, I won't bore you with any more mushy stuff.


Meet 'Miss Green' (Kristina Ann,) our lovely first born!! Green is seen as tranquil and refreshing, with a natural balance of cool and warm (blue and yellow) undertones. Green is considered the color of peace and ecology. Kristina, peace loving, and dependable! Another reason I choose this color for her is because she LOVES the outdoors and is a real tomboy!


Meet 'Miss Yellow' (Staci Jane). Yellow shines with optimism, enlightenment, and happiness. Shades of golden yellow carry the promise of a positive future. Yellow will advance from surrounding colors and instill optimism and energy, as well as spark creative thoughts. No more need be said. this describes her to a T.



Meet 'Little Blue' (Mitchell Alan). I searched and search for a unique color for Mitchell. But I always came back to BLUE. He is like his Daddy in all his ways.!! Love my 'Little Blue' .

When Daddy calls home from work and says he'll be an hour late my heart sinks.  But then I realize that Dinner is ready and waiting, The house is cleaned up for Daddy's arrival, and the kids are busy playing. This means Quality crafting time!!  And I have A pile of fleece just waiting for me to dive into!! Here's how to make your own fleece bed sheet: Wash and dry your fleece on normal cycle to pre shrink it. You will need: (For a single bed) 2.5yds of 55in wide fabric (I used Blizzard Fleece) Jo-Anns Fabric 2 yds of 1/4 inch elastic matching thread The tricky part about full and queen sheets is that no one wants a seam right down the middle of their bed.. so we will put the seams at the side of the mattress using a full piece with no seam over the TOP of the mattress. For a full Bed: 4 yds fleece. 2 2/3yds of 1/4 inch
