I’m ready.. bring it on! While everyone is hunkering down with their Arizona throws my mind is drifting to Spring. I’m itching to start my next collection. Ive unleashed my imaginative beast and the door is wide open for new ideas.
I long to walk barefoot in the grass, to dance in the April showers and to smell the buds blooming in May’s flowers, to open the windows and let the fresh air in. The birth of a new season!
Just a few more weeks I keep telling myself.
Hello Spring
Its been a crazy month.. Sickness hit the Pippin house.. Thanks giving with all the trimmings and I dont mean decorations 🙂 .. Its comforting having allllllll the family together but with that brings difference of opinions, which can lead to very colorful conversations.
A few of my November moods include.
Worn Out because that’s how my November started, when one tries to pack so much into a week, the layers start to peel away leaving the bare bones exposed.
Stormy weather.. Sickness hit the pippin house, first was my 10 year old, sleepless night became a regular occurrence.. Have you ever tried sleeping in a twin size bed with a 10 year old.. DONT! Next to get hit with the bug was me.. and like a trooper I pushed on trough to the other side.. and lastly my hubby came down with it, I dont now about you but men + sickness = BIG BABIES.. Yes my 10 year handled it better.

Over the last couple of weeks I have carefully selected 5 colors from the Stylecraft Special DK range that harmoniously blend together to create a gradient ombre effect.
I came up with 9 colorways that produce a gradual effect by blending one color into the next. These color packs are available to purchase here
The Raven
A queen wished her naughty daughter would turn into a raven and fly away, so she could have some peace, and her wish was instantly fulfilled. She flew away to a forest.
The Enchanted Forest
The forest as a place of magic and danger is found, where strange things might occur, and strange people might live, the home of monsters, witches and fairies.
Thumbelina
Thumbelina tries to protect herself from the elements, but when winter comes, she is in desperate straits. She is finally given shelter by an old field mouse and tends her dwelling in gratitude.
Starlight
A king, whose kingdom was constantly imperiled by another king, had an only son who had fallen in love with a slave, Starlight. Her family was quite unknown, but he cared nothing for anything but her
The Griffin
A king’s daughter was ill, and it was foretold she would be made well by eating an apple. The king declared that whoever brought the apple to cure her would marry her.
Snow Maiden
There was once a daughter born to Fairy Spring and Father Frost. This daughter was the most beautiful maiden that had ever been known, she had skin as pale as the snow, eyes blue like the sky, and thick blond hair that hung to her waist. She was named Snowmaiden.
So which is your color story 🙂
