If you have an etsy shop then you've probably had the age old struggle of.....cute packaging! We've all been there. It's hard to package in a tasteful way while keeping the expense down.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are 4 cute packaging ideas that could help you out!</div>

I went to my local Michael's store and purchased some stamps. Mind you, stamps aren' that cheap (I chose ones in the $7 - $10 range) BUT they are a one time expense that can be used practically for forever if you take care of them. The ink will last a very long time as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next I found little envelopes from Michaels as well. They came in a package of 8 for $1.50, so that's 19ยข apiece. These are actually library cards, with sticky strips on the back for sticking to books, but I have another use for them, which I will soon show you! I found even smaller ones that don't have sticky strips at walmart, which where similarly priced, they are just little envelopes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now my bookmarks fit into these perfectly, and are in the $15 to $20 range, so that price is well worth it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The ones with sticky strips are 4.5" tall when folded, and are about 4" wide. The smaller ones with no sticky strips are about the same height, but about and inch smaller in width.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can purchase bigger envelopes or craft bags from michaels as well if you have larger items.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is a picture of some things I used. Here there are ink pads, stamps, stamp letters, envelopes, twine, and paper squares.</div>
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the envelopes, take some colored paper squares and use your stamps on them, then attach the paper onto the sticky strips! Bingo! Easiest packaging in the world!</div>

For the smaller envelopes, I cut small squares and used my letter stamps to write Thank You on it. The letter set included an "." which I used to create the dots. I then used a bit of two sided tape to attach it to the envelope, and wrapped a bit of twine around it to finish it off. Cute right? With these letters, you have to use them individually, so the letters won't be perfectly straight. But that just adds character, don't you think?</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With this one, I just used tissue paper. Now these are small of course, but you could easily use much larger pieces of tissue for larger items.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you have items that you like to wrap in tissue paper, then just spice it up a bit by stamping the tissue, and glueing a twine bow in the corner. Easy!</div>

For this one I used tissue paper as well, and my letter stamps, with blue ink. To create the little lines scattered across the tissue, I just used the edge of the stamp. I then wrapped a bit of twine around it.</div>

For the felt, I used wool felt in an assortment of dark orange, brown, and tan. For the center, I used dark brown, and for the petals, I used orange for the first layer, brown for the second layer, and tan for the third layer.</div>

Now to make the first layer of petals, cut squares from your orange felt, each square should be roughly 3"x3". I made 14 of these.</div>

Fold the squares corner to corner, and trim the corner opposite the crease, so you'll get rounded edges, with only a point at the top and a point at the bottom, similar looking to a leaf. Make 6 in the brown color, but make them smaller, about 2.5"x2.5". Then make 6 in the tan color but make them even smaller, about 2"x2".</div>

Make the base for the center of the flower by cutting a circle that is about 3.5" across. I used a jar lid to trace onto the felt. For later use, you'll also need about 3 smaller circles about 2.50" across. You'll cut across the smaller ones to make them look like pompoms, see picture for example. Put those ones aside for later.</div>

To begin making the sunflower, take your orange "leaves", and fold the bottom together, so you get a look similar to a calla lily. Sew it to the large brown circle you made. Continue to do this all the way around until the circle is completely full. Next, do the smaller brown ones the same way, but on top of the orange, spacing them evenly apart.</div>

This is the perfect way to spice up your home this fall! This wreath is super easy to make, and only cost a few bucks. The grapevine wreath I found at a thrift store, however ones similar to these can be purchased at most craft stores.<br />

<br />
Lets get your supplies together!<br />
<br />
My sister sent me a box of acorns from Texas last Christmas, which make the perfect addition to this wreath! Faux ones can be purchased at craft stores. The pinecones are from my yard. Everything else came from the Hobby Lobby and Michaels.<br />
<br />
You can improvise here quite a bit. I purchased two big sunflowers and an assortment of wheat or barley looking bundles, as well as a small faux pumpkin and a gourd. You will also need a pair of scissors, a hot glue gun, some burlap, and some twine, such as jute twine or something similar.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Don't forget your cat! This is a very important step in the process, your wreath may not turn out correctly if your cat is not there to oversee the process.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD7jMSENkTltaeafp0meYmDw5qKCHMh0G-p5tQtqO39Tbpac9QAMPonLHhV8JAWltC8eZUm-E2NC5KFqLcgD4w2WQW5MBR6GvEnQJS6HS5_2XMPPeGx1cxAB1wc6x-haj8z3AMWJpBnCc/s1600/IMG_2200.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD7jMSENkTltaeafp0meYmDw5qKCHMh0G-p5tQtqO39Tbpac9QAMPonLHhV8JAWltC8eZUm-E2NC5KFqLcgD4w2WQW5MBR6GvEnQJS6HS5_2XMPPeGx1cxAB1wc6x-haj8z3AMWJpBnCc/s640/IMG_2200.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
To get started, begin attaching the foliage to the wreath, up the sides. I put more amounts on the right side, and less on the left. Most foliage you purchase at craft stores have long stems, and can easily be "woven" into the wreath itself. If you have places that need to to lay a certain way, simply use a small bit of twine to secure to the wreath.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2bWXQzF_g6y6hbibrHcTX7wgKd0c6mFyzjUA-LsH9RbsZVSW93fjRYHhN1hP8bm3jFnwutMgpsx-PAR1Zv7iCo-mRAbqdCJnf7nyshG6Rn2jQPVcJOM13orsAlsGb6NwDDS-pey562gE/s1600/IMG_2192.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2bWXQzF_g6y6hbibrHcTX7wgKd0c6mFyzjUA-LsH9RbsZVSW93fjRYHhN1hP8bm3jFnwutMgpsx-PAR1Zv7iCo-mRAbqdCJnf7nyshG6Rn2jQPVcJOM13orsAlsGb6NwDDS-pey562gE/s640/IMG_2192.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
On the right side, secure your pumpkin and gourd. You can use hot glue here if necessary. Place them right at the bottom of the foliage on the right side of the wreath. Next you can attach your sunflowers, just above the gourds, leaving enough room between the two flowers for a pinecone. The flowers I used had long stems and I was able to push and shimmy them into the wreath.<br />
After the flowers, randomly glue acorns to the wreath. I put a bunch on the bottom and a few up the sides. Remember to protect your table from the hot glue! I used a board.<br />
Glue one pinecone between the two flowers, and one on the opposite side of the wreath.<br />
<br />

<br />
For the finishing touch, I made a large bow out of burlap. Bows are much easier than you think. You'll need a length of burlap approximately 30 inches long.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHJXlQI7EbsLHNiqfRGSXypB-GCGavqrvWjVV32HcW0hYws_Op4uqVYqqne6p4q6zWs7610mAfZ0JBq5nWCDvdKp11rbddbtv_0WT6bou6jx5-dm5EMzCLp1WxFg-YqlaWebTk7hDF6jA/s1600/IMG_2194.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHJXlQI7EbsLHNiqfRGSXypB-GCGavqrvWjVV32HcW0hYws_Op4uqVYqqne6p4q6zWs7610mAfZ0JBq5nWCDvdKp11rbddbtv_0WT6bou6jx5-dm5EMzCLp1WxFg-YqlaWebTk7hDF6jA/s640/IMG_2194.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
To begin your bow, fold the ends over each other like so.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCyK6W0Wdd_5e2AGonJh_PQjvhdhv9LkeFYRvu9Rwe-5-sgJTMmZBdUiEJFaSdMDJB74IUWv-wVV5rdNgfGaX3_s6-qSo2DHfID25pr1cITcfwvejZ9dasXij6ieVyJ6fyIE_89JDaSYI/s1600/IMG_2195.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCyK6W0Wdd_5e2AGonJh_PQjvhdhv9LkeFYRvu9Rwe-5-sgJTMmZBdUiEJFaSdMDJB74IUWv-wVV5rdNgfGaX3_s6-qSo2DHfID25pr1cITcfwvejZ9dasXij6ieVyJ6fyIE_89JDaSYI/s640/IMG_2195.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Then place your thumb on the bottom side of the bow between the two ends, and your fingers on the top in the middle, and pinch together.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
Wrap twine around the center to secure.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
Secure twine with a knot on the back of the bow.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
Flip your bow back over and play with it a bit to get it to the right shape. Glue with hot glue to the top of the wreath.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh596eczvuOUEqq1zafJx88t9t4cVn1stwJYRDYgtbeGlSV3C-X2O1lx8R7o6y4dUfMxfiQtqomtECvMmpzRipU5OrJPJdFhXWb3qztT-DnVIUjV9LnYO5ymkoLmSfxtGcl1erBB0gCSA8/s1600/IMG_2199.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh596eczvuOUEqq1zafJx88t9t4cVn1stwJYRDYgtbeGlSV3C-X2O1lx8R7o6y4dUfMxfiQtqomtECvMmpzRipU5OrJPJdFhXWb3qztT-DnVIUjV9LnYO5ymkoLmSfxtGcl1erBB0gCSA8/s640/IMG_2199.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I also made a much smaller bow with burlap, using the same method above, and glued it to the bottom of the wreath.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir1Ok_Q0nLtN8fAmY7zTF1S5sUTAGfsMPO7qkKPsYQctQ9ipWkX1k06Q1nRINi9C9OR7NjhBABGUZG-aLWZkrIMvXICN15pLuR69LYCbAAArStTL4Lhscs2lljcNE_fUP3E5bMz5vyucc/s1600/IMG_2203+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="456" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir1Ok_Q0nLtN8fAmY7zTF1S5sUTAGfsMPO7qkKPsYQctQ9ipWkX1k06Q1nRINi9C9OR7NjhBABGUZG-aLWZkrIMvXICN15pLuR69LYCbAAArStTL4Lhscs2lljcNE_fUP3E5bMz5vyucc/s640/IMG_2203+copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
All you have left to do no is to attach some twine to the back of your wreath for hanging, and you're finished! Enjoy your wreath!<br />

Her clothing is sooo amazing! <div>I love finding out more about the person behind a shop. It makes the product more special.</div><div>I'll let Kristen tell us about herself, but make sure you check out her Etsy shop at <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/iheartfink?ref=l2-shopheader-name">I Heart Fink on Etsy</a>.<div>

<span style="background-color: #ebf6f9; color: #333333; font-family: "graphik web" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I make many things but have been focusing on my handmade garments for many years now (9!). I hand print fabrics using silkscreens made from my original artwork. I custom mix high quality inks and work on 2-4 yards of fabric at a time to completely cover the fabric with my art. I treat each piece of fabric as a work of art in itself. It is a time, labor and material intensive process and I love every minute of it! I then use my special fabrics to make one of a kind garments that I free-hand cut. I do Not use sewing patterns, ever. I use imagination and memory (memory for made to order items) to guide me for everything I make. Every garment I have ever made is a one of a kind piece.</span><br>

<span style="background-color: #ebf6f9; color: #333333; font-family: "graphik web" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">My mother is an artist. My sisters and I would watch her draw and it was like magic to see her turn a blank piece of paper into something very special. My first love was horses so I would draw horses night and day. I made a book about horses when I was very young and my family seemed to be impressed which of course inspired me to keep going (my entire life!)</span><br>

<span style="background-color: #ebf6f9; color: #333333; font-family: "graphik web" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I live in St Louis and work in my home studio. I have a lot of space which is essential for having room to print and sew. The printing part of my process is really messy - I get in a very dreamy, emotional, intuitive headspace for this. The cutting and sewing part of my process is intense since I am cutting freehand and using very sharp scissors on fabrics I just spent hours and hours printing!....so I'm sure to be in a clear-thinking mode for this part. </span><br>

<span style="background-color: #ebf6f9; color: #333333; font-family: "graphik web" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I do not have a formula or ever even pre-plan anything...I go by my gut vibe for pretty much everything I do. I am totally present as I work so I feel like anything that is naturally part of who I am shows through...for instance, I was born in the 60s and feel like the 60s show through a bit in my designs. </span><br>

Each moment of every day is unique and simply "being there" is inspiration enough.</span><br>

<span style="background-color: #ebf6f9; color: #333333; font-family: "graphik web" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">oh boy, this is tricky. there are several pieces I have made over the years that I look at and think "I made that! oh my gosh, how did I do that?!" My favorite pieces are usually the ones that are way out there and still function. To me that is the ultimate challenge to take lots of risks and have something be highly unusual yet still functional...and wearable in everyday life!</span><br>

This is a really cute organizer I decided to try out for myself. I put it on top of my piano, and it adds tons of charm!<br />
<br />
If you couldn't tell, I'm really into saving space while still maintaining a classy look, waste nothing! (I'm also into shabby chick :-D)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So here is the finished result! Cute right? It's super simple to make, and you can make these as big or as little as you want. All you need is some cardboard, colored duct tape, and scissors.<br />
Scroll down to find out how I made this!<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok, so first you cut out your pieces from the cardboard. I used the flaps from a large box I had. How long to cut them is up to you. You will be folding them into thirds, so cut them 3 times the length that you want the bottom to be. I cut 4 pieces, but you <br />
<a name='more'></a>can cut a lot more if you want to make a bigger organizer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After you have cut the pieces, cover with your choice of duct tape. I used light blue. On the longest edges down the length of the cardboard pieces, fold a piece of tape over the edge to cover the edge so it won't show, then proceed to completely cover both sides of the cardboard with your tape.</div>

Fold your cardboard into thirds to form a triangle. On the inside of the shorter edge, place a piece of tape down the length, leaving half of it hanging over. Bring the other end of the cardboard to meet where your tape is and push the rest of the tape against it to hold it together.</div>

Now that your triangle is formed, you'll need another piece of tape to cover the raw edge across the top of the triangle, or "roof". after folding the tape over the top of the triangle, tuck under the leftover edges.</div>

This week I get to interview a pretty cool person, Jamie! Jamie and her fiancรฉ Adam are the owners of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/EpicEdibles">Epic Edibles</a>, an awesome Etsy shop where you can get incredible tasting treats and goodies.<br />
There is so much goodness in this shop, I don't know if I can even get through this interview without raiding the pantry for some chocolate (for those of you who didn't know, I'm a chocolate freak).<br />

The "we" is myself, Jamie Styger, and my fiance, Adam Mullendore. We also own Epic Entertainment, which is a DJ and Karaoke service, and have a small farm where we raise our own produce, have free range laying hens and we milk our dairy goats.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Adam and I make all sorts of goodies, from gourmet marshmallows and fudge, to all kinds cookies, bars, cakes and caramels. We only use "real" ingredients that you can pronounce and spell (butter, cream, sugar, fresh lemon juice and zest) and never any chemicals, emulsifiers or extenders. We use organic whenever we can, and we do use our own eggs from our free range hens in all of our baked goods. <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Currently, our two best sellers are Chocolate Covered Fleur de Sel Sea Salt Caramels and the Jalapeno Peanut Brittle. We are always trying to create new things and try new goodies in the etsy store. Some of our best sellers (the jalapeno brittle and the chocoalte dipped peanut brittle) were actually suggestions from our friends, so if you want it, just ask! We are always willing to try something new...except ribbon candy and taffy...NO WAY, too much work, lol! <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />In the very near future look for paleo friendly, low carb/sugar and gluten free items. I have recently had to make a serious lifestyle change, and can no longer partake in my own creations. BUMMER! I have been researching ways to ammend my standard recipes and trying out all kinds of new recipes using almond flour and coconut flour, among other things. Once we have them perfected, they will be added to the menu. (Don't worry, I'm fine. My mom is severely diabetic and I have PCOS, so I need to remove white flour and sugar...I also need to fit into that gorgeous wedding dress that is 4 sizes smaller than I am!!!)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">It was our wonderful, supportive friends! Adam and I throw a HUGE Christmas party in our home every year as a thank you to all of our loyal karaoke patrons for supporting our shows. Well, at the party in 2010, I decided to pull out some of my Grandma's favorite recipes for candies and cookies and our friends raved about them. They begged us to make them and sell them, or make this or that certain treat for an upcoming birthday. We thought they were just "being sweet" but once Valentine's Day rolled around, there they were, trying to order. We ended up selling almost $1000.00 in candy in 2 weeks, just to our friends. Then Easter rolled around and it was about $600.00 in Easter goodies. At that point, Adam and I decided tnat *maybe* we should look into naming the business and promoting it on more than just a local level.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br />My paternal grandmother, my mom, and my two beautiful "soon to be" step munchkins are my inspirations. <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Unfortunately, my "Grandma Tuffy" slipped into dementia when I was probably 8 yrs old, but I still remember her delicious lemon bars, molasses cookies and mint chocolate chip meringue cookies...and sometimes I tear up making them. I went to church right across the street from my grandparents house, so as SOON as the priest let us out, I would bolt out the door and across the street to watch reruns of The Lone Ranger and The Cisco Kid at my grandpa's feet while munching on whatever goodies grandma had made that morning. That house always smelled amazing.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span></div>

Sure, we had our silly sugar cookies and other typical cookies, but she always made whatever struck her fancy in Bon Appetit magazine that year. I think my favorite recipe she found was the one for Viennese Sandwich Cookies. Wafer thin butter cookies, a very light lemony buttercream, and then about 1/5 of the cookie was dipped in bittersweet chocolate and covered in nonpariels. PURE JOY!! The best gift my Mom ever gave me was probably almost 20 years ago, when she decided to compile a family cookbook. That is my "go to" cook book for everything from Mom's From Scratch Lasagna, to my great grandmothers cooked butterscotch frosting. Luckily, both sides of my family were excellent bakers and candy makers, so most of my recipes for our goodies are generations old.</span><br />

A good friend of ours is opening up a day spa/ salon and they will be putting in a coffe shop with a kitchen. We are going to work something out with them to be able to use it, but not have to be tied down to a store. It sounds perfect!</span></div>

I worked for a long time in financial area, but But I always made โโclothes for myself and my children. I didn't learn sewing, just always watched my mother, my grandmother .... I sat next to them assiduously and I later learned myself as an autodidact.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /> Over the years, I learned of my knowledge and developed my style.

I love spring so much, and I'm so happy to be leaving cold temperatures behind! I always get excited about all the springy things, like gardens, sitting in the sun, and fun dresses!<br />
<br />
This afternoon I found myself browsing through vintage dresses, and boy let me tell ya, WOW! I knew immediately I had to do a blog feature, the only question was, which ones to feature?<br />
<br />
I wish I could show you all of them, but I had to narrow it down to a handful. Here's just a few of my favorites.<br />
<br />
Cute cute cute green dress! I can see myself twirling and spinning at a lovely outdoor spring party. This dress is from the 1950s by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/1919vintage">1919 Vintage</a>.<br />

My room is next!<br />
This means moving a lot of stuff out and piling it all up in the spare room.<br />

I must say, I'm in love! Sure, you can get blue, green, red, and purple at Joanns anytime, but can you get them in special shades like these? I love having different shades to work with. I don't want to use the same old cardinal red, the same old frosty green, and the same old delft blue.<br />
Bre-Aly Threads took care of that for me!<br />
The colors in this picture are<br />
Pale Lime, Eggplant, Red Wine, Periwinkle, and Chartreuse.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love all of them, but I think these two are my favorite, Red Wine, and Chartreuse. Don't they look</div>
<a name='more'></a> beautiful together?<br />

Spring is very nigh, and I am so excited about the warm weather we've already been enjoying! Bradford Pear trees are blooming, and daffodils are springing forth in abundance.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And it's just the beginning! I already have plans for wildflower mixes and Columbine flowers, not to mention some hyacinths, which have always been a favorite of mine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And of course there's the edibles too. I'm looking forward to cherry tomatoes, lettuce, spinach, and cucumbers, just to name a few!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought you might enjoy these photos I took. We have daffodils growing all along the edge of our woods where I planted them last summer. They are starting to spread out nicely!</div>
