Remember when...

The other day I found  myself in quite a dilemma when deciding on a color scheme for a collar design. 

The dilemma and an observation: where did all these shades of fill in the blank come from?!  I remember a time when you may have had two or three shades of orange...light, regular, and dark, but now that is  not the case!  Orange is no longer orange and blue is no long just blue (thanks Wiki for the examples)...

Seriously...Papaya Whip?! 

Uh...Eton Blue...it is a cool name, but really folks?! ETON?!

These chart shows only one point of view of what orange and blue represent to the creator of THESE lists...holy crap look at this RGB chart by Kevin J. Walsh Copyright © 2007.  It is a fairly large list of colors that range from black (or would that be blacks?!) to white...white(s). 

No wonder you need a degree to figure out what goes with what now-a-days and just think...all I wanted to do was make a blue and orange collar.  After looking at all the colors, I will be going with...i am still working on that!

Finally....the Sashes are here!!!!

So, after doing a couple for free I have decided to do a line of them to see what kind of buzz they may generate. So without further adieu...

The colors and centers will vary depending on the client.

I am so happy that my babies are here!!! Thanks to everyone for their inspiration and kind words!!!

Dr. Who...the new season is a comin'

This is one of my guilty pleasures when it comes to television.  I do love the Who series, but I just cannot seem to "get" the series before Christopher Eccelston.  I was in lurve with David Tennant and now Matt Smith is kinda growing on me...it has to be the bowtie cuz the fez was killing me!

Anyway, for those of you Who fans out there...

Christmas List 2011:
TARDIS...I wonder if I can get one on Amazon?!

The Cherry Blossoms

Me not being a native of this area, I have not really had a great appreciation for the cherry blossoms that seem to be on the same level as orange trees in Florida. 

The other day while walking Chet, I really took a look at the abundance of cherry blossom trees and suddenly had a new appreciation of beauty of those little blossoms.  So after days of threatening to bring my camera on our walk...I finally did!! 

For those of you who may not make it to the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) region during the bloom...here ya go!

I took these with my FIVE (yes I said 5!! year old Kodak camera)...I could not be happier!

Project Selvage - Spoonflower and Michael Miller

Here is my design...It is a bit "elementary" but the design is supposed to be for a baby boy.  It is cute and I love the way it turned out.  I will let you guys know what the outcome is...wish me luck!!!
