Here's the story....

Remember yesterday I said I'd try and show you what I had been playing with on the design wall? And I had a story to go with it? Don't I always?!? Okay, here's the story. I ordered this fun dark blue, yellow and white fabric because I liked the pattern the sales rep showed me. So, after the holiday fun, I decided that I would cut it out and put it together. I was even more thrilled when I saw that the flying geese at the outside edges could be made using Eleanor Burns' Flying Geese Ruler! Yippee!! And for a new adventure in tools, it uses the EZ Companion Angle, which I just happened to have in stock and had never used. So, without thinking too much, I grabbed the dot, the yellow, the background and those great retro-ish daisies. Sunday, I decided to play a bit with it. Got it to the point where I could put it up on the wall Monday. I stood back to admire it and then had those famous "second thoughts". Had I chosen a yellow that was too bright? Hmmmm..... So, if you look closely, you'll see that there are actually three yellows now in the picture. And they don't show up quite as they do in person. We've been taking a poll all week long and unfortunately, so far there is no definitive answer. So, if you're in, please give us your "yellow vote" - ok?

Today was fun - Tea Party! And Lynn brought these wonderful walnuts with a cinnamon sugar-y coating. WOW. We'll have to get the recipe and put it on the website.

Getting ready to move fabric around on Friday....Harriet's going to be there and she'll be glad because I got even more flannel today, but I have an idea of where it will all fit happily together! This flannel is from Moda and is a great guy-type outdoor print with yummy herringbone coordinates.

Have to go run and take the Tea Party linens out of the washer....next up will be more Valentine's fun - Jan's "Love Notes", as we're calling them! Until then.....
