so did you notice how the colors CHANGE depending on what they are next too?

Pretty neat huh?!

Go forth and be creative,

  1. Tammy, your new wools are gorgeous! I'm sitting here this morning wishing I had enough cash in hand to tell you "Sold!" on each and every piece. One question, though. Where do you come up with the names for the colors?

    Also, did your backsplash get done? Is it too soon to ask for detailed pictures of your new kitchen? I'm excited, waiting to see how it turned out.

  2. JoJo,
    Well, the kitchen is ALMOST finished....still no backsplash and I need to paint the dining room....want to get it "complete" before I put more pictures on.

    Some of the wool names come from dye recipes and some names I just make up myself. "dill pickle" was a name I made up for that color....the recipe color was called "olive" , but it looked more like a dill pickle to me :)

  3. Tammy, I love the name "dill pickle." That dye recipe doesn't look like any olive that's in my fridge. But dill pickle describes it perfectly!

    As for the kitchen, well, I'll wait because I can understand you're wanting to have it completely done before posting more pictures. Just know that I'm waiting excitedly to see how it all turned out!
