Hello Sunshine!

Okay, my apologies for the excessive yellow/grey projects...


I'm really lovin' that combo right now....

Here it is teamed up with my newest Paper Smooches set, Vogue Abode.  

i.love.it.

I paper pieced that chic retro chair in some October Afternoon goodness....it's on glue dots so it rests above the fun doily banner.  I want a pillow with pearl trim...although not something that would be comfy, it would sure be pretty to look at:)

This is a wee card at 4x4 and lookie lookie, no stitching.  My intention was to go totally CAS because I was inspired by Kelley Eubanks but one thing led to anther and before I knew it, it was no longer CAS...LOL.


Have you heard about us in the news:



We were hit with over a foot of snow yesterday!  We're suppose to be getting more today...ugh.

The yellow and grey combo is so delightful Amy. The banner and your paper piecing are wonderful. All that snow looks so pretty and fun! - from someone who doesn't have to live with it :)

Don't apologies - I'm loving the yellow and grey and I really want that Paper Smooches set. That is some serious snow... I would probably curl up in a ball and die given that I've been freezing my butt off here because it went down to 55!

OMG, I heard on the news that parts of Seattle and North were getting snow, but didn't realize it included you. Please do me a favor and keep it out there we don't have and don't want any.

Great card and I never tire of the yellow and grey combo.

I *love* this card. I think it's still CAS, to me at least, lol. Great colors. Yellow is just so warm and happy. Crazy amounts of snow you guys are getting. My parents live in Port Orchard, so probably not as much as you, but wow!

Oh, Amy, that snow is gorgeous! Send some back east. You must be feeling like you're back in Canada at least. LOL I LOVE seeing you use Paper Smooches! Eeek, that gingham chair is so fantastic and I don't mind at all if you are using lots of yellow. ;)

LOVE this...I'm LOVING the yellow & grey creations, DON'T STOP!

OMG, was just watching the news and they said WE in Vancouver were supposed to get that system...I didn't know you guys averaged only 6 inches of snow per year! Well, we still have been getting TONS of snow and it was -10 degrees Celsius today...WOW....may as well be in Toronto...TOO COLD for MY liking, that's FOR SURE! Even worse, the wind chill had some local spots feeling like -25 degrees Celsius...In recent years, I've gotten used to it being 10 degrees Celsius at this time of year..rising up to about 15-16 degrees by the end of the month...Global warming BIG time!

Love those colors together! And that snow looks beautiful, mostly because I don't have to deal with the aftermath of it. Hope you are safe and warm!

Lady, the card is just wonderful, love that pillow and that doily banner is tooo cool!

I feel like such a jerk not asking how all the snow turned out for you guys? Right around the time you got that, we got a load, and I forgot basically to marvel that you guys got hit! Are there snow removal trucks there, I can't even remember?!
