Rainbow Dash

 

A few months ago, I was strolling by those dollar bins and Joannes and saw these cute little crayon tins.  I thought it would be a great way to keep some entertainment for the kids on hand.  I keep this in my bag along with paper / coloring books / napkins / snacks / lip gloss / checkbook / change / bread crumbs...  you get the picture. 

Anyway, I've come to love this little tin.  It is the perfect size for the crayon rocks that we LOVE.  As well as the crayons that have been given so much love that they are not quite the size they started out as.

Yesterday we were sitting in church and Eliza was coloring.  She asked me to color a picture with her, so we picked out a unicorn and went to town.  It started out as something you might imagine - scribbles of color here and there, but we just kept going.  Eventually Eliza wanted to read a book, and then eventually sat and listened to what was being said.  Uh, me?  Not so much.  I sat there and colored through the entire meeting.  I'm all about setting a good example for my kids.

But here is our picture:

 

The crayon rocks blend so well!  We signed it and I think I may just have to frame it and hang it in her (or maybe my) room.

I also have been enjoying some new colored pencils lately.  Color is just good.

 

Thanks you for all the birthday wishes and table love.  I'm sure Dustin would be ever so willing to make each and every one of you a table of your own.  Shipping would be a bit prohibitive - that thing is a beast.

OH - my first night as a judge at Project Selvedge was SO much fun!  The challenge was to make a garment from the fabrics that came in their project bag.  The fabrics were remnants and did not go together in any way, shape or form.  There were 16 contestants starting out this year, and we had to cut HALF of them on the first night.  It was not easy.  Here is a photo from that night.

The gal with the flower in her hair on the right was the model for the winning designer that night.  I absolutely loved what she did!  Dustin is going to come with me this Friday night and I'll have him take some photos while it's going on.

  

AND - you guys win.  I'm reording Analise.  The requests just keep coming, so I'm placing one last order for them.  They'll be available as soon as they arrive from the printer.  We're going to be going live with a new website soon (it is gorgeous!) so please bear with me for teensy bit longer if I am slow to respond to questions right now.  There is a lot going on behind the scenes, but it will all be worth it!

I love coloring with my kids too! I get a bit territorial with a picture and take over sometimes. Then I feel bad that I did more of the coloring than they did. :-(

Love all of the color! And I'm so envious of that fabric store. I sure we had something like that here. Looks like a blast, and I can't wait to see the next challenge!

Is it bad that I recognize the My Little Pony as Rainbow Dash? Annie was watching her cartoon with the little pony snuggled in her arms.

Hee hee, we do a lot of coloring during church, too!

I just read your pie posts and just wanted to pass on: today is Pi(e) Day - 3.14. We always have pie on March 14, and I just finished making banana cream. But I definitely have it on my list to make the apple pie recipe you shared SOON!

I love the coloring at church story = too funny! You are a good example to your kids, even if you do color through the whole meeting - I say anything that keeps everyone quiet and not bouncing off the walls is a very good thing. I still haven't figured out that magic technique for my own family at church...maybe when they're all over the age of 10. Maybe. And a very nice rendition of Rainbow Dash, too, by the way.
ps Your work table ROCKS and I'm trying very, very hard not to be green with envy! :-) Your amazing hubster did a great job on it...and the cupcakes too! Happy (belated) birthday! If I lived in Missoula I'd bring you a cake.

whaaa! You are making me want some of those wonderful looking rock crayons too. I don't even know if I would share with my kids... :) Happy belated birthday! I hope the 30s will be good years for you.

I just found your line in my local fabaric shop. I adore them!!!! I bought all I could carry home with me. Thanks for the wonderful inspriation!

It doesn't matter is the rainbow is on a poem, a cake , a draw in the wall, in our hair , in the sky or in any other place is always beautiful to see all those colors.

Your blog is so refreshing to me; it brings color and brightness to an otherwise overcast day, and uplifts my spirits. I love to get energy from looking at your gorgeous fabrics and colors, and adore your gorgeous photography. Today's flowers are exquisite! Thanks for a burst of freshness!

I’m hoping that we’ll end up with a slew of prototyped ideas and a bunch of happy people. I’m sure there’ll be a lot more hard work until we can turn those embryonic proofs of concept into living

All works is beatiful and colorful.

Fantastic, I was actually referred to your article from a buddy of mine. He suggested it since we were having a chat about this issue the other night.
