craving yellow



While attempting some organization in the Girlie Office, I was drawn to the yellow craft items and grouped a few favorites.



No wonder! This winter has been cold and cloudy without much snow so everything outside is very brown and matted. I am craving yellow.

February vacation begins for the boys today. While they are playing with what seems to be every toy they have ever received, I will be doing a little playing of my own in the Girlie Office. I just framed some beautiful fabrics from Vintage Lizzie. What do you think?

Love your framed fabric. I ordered a quilt from Vintage Lizzie. It was beautiful and I gave it to my niece for her Birthday. She loved it! Enjoy your yellow and keep the kids busy:)

Finally some spring, I mean over here at your blog. We are still having snow :-(
There are a lot of winters without snow over here and now we are having snow for almost 2 months. What about global heating?

Enjoy your Spring decorations Elyse!

What a sweet little yellow peep. The framed vintage fabric is gorgeous. Every day is brown and yucky in kuwait. That's why my home is full of color. Wishing you a happy day. :) Tammy

Hi Elyse, Thanks ever so much for stopping by to visit me. I love hearing from you. You really brighten up my little corner of blogland.
I am going to be really busy for a while with the test and all but if you send me your address when I get done I want to send you a little something that you could add to a corner of that darling picture!
What a great way to view something you love that might have just been hidden in a drawer.
Kim
