Spring dreamings...

I had such a good time seeing everyone on Saturday - there were a few people who weren't able to make it out for various reasons...they were missed and you know who you are! I had fabulous helpers that day - my M-i-L Maureen, S-i-L Mar and niece Hayley (aka ribbon specialist extraordinaire) handled the morning rush with ease allowing me to relax and enjoy what small snippets of time I had with people. I could not have done it without them!

To answer your question... Yes I still have "stuff" left and I think what I will be doing is making up "grab bags/boxes" and selling them on a first come first served basis. Stay tuned...if you are interested, email me at injennuity.designs@gmail.com.

On to the fun and crafty part of the blog - did I do anything? Yup. Got crafty with my girl Emma and after being challenged by Mr Tim to make some flowers, we decided to give it a try this past Sunday morning. What I love about having an 8 foot table to craft on at home is that we can craft together without being on top of each other. We each have our own chairs and space...granted I get more space but then I'm messier.

RIiiiiight.

Anyways, I had to snap a few pics of Emma having fun with the process of painting and smearing. Not surprisingly, her colour palette starts and ends with her favourite colour teal.





Mind ended up a bit muddy in places - too many colours and adding yellow in I think with the purple caused it. Oh well...Art isn't suppose to be perfect...



I'm not going to go into the how-to's on this technique when Tim does it so well on his blog. Suffice to say I did not use his new paints as I haven't gotten any yet. I do have enough other paint to sink another Titanic so why not use it up experimenting?

Exactly what I thought...


Emma didn't use the tattered flower die. She wanted to cut out hearts but I didn't have one (?!?) so she settled for another one instead...any guesses from the picture?


I have more miscellaneous brads than I know what to do with so was happy to pair some up with the flowers. I think the ones I used were from an old line of Basic Grey's "Marrakesh" that melded alot of blues, green's and oranges.

 I am not sure if I am going to try and mount all these flowers on a tag or what yet. They may go on a canvas, I am just not sure. But I enjoyed making it and I will be submitting my...sorry...*our* creativity on Tim's blog before the week is out. I had hoped to make his Feb Tag as well....well the month isn't over yet. I may yet surprise myself in a fit of creativity. Turns out I don't have hardly any of what he used to make his tag but then again...it's not really a requirement. I have more than enough to simply be inspired and try my own spin on it.

But for now I am going to bid you a good night, and happy crafting!

PS If you guessed "Fanciful Flight" as what Emma chose as a die, you were right! Pat yourself on the back for being so good at squinting and get cracking on your own spring-inspiration!
