Soap Nuts and Wool Balls

I have been more and more interested in using as many natural products in our home as I can.  This is a slow process as many of these natural products require learning how to use them and often require me to break old habits and make new habits.  I recently made the switch to soap nuts and wool balls.  It is a higher cost initially, but I am saving lots of money in the long run!  I love knowing my clothes are clean without lots of chemicals and I especially love how soft they are!  Tarcil likes that I am going making these changes in my life.  He is the cutest supporter out there!  :)

Rainbow Yarns

This is probably no surprise to anyone, but I bought more yarn!  Haha!  I love the swirls of colors creating a rainbow in these yarns!  I can't wait to work with them!  Also, don't you think Tarcil looks like he needs to sneeze, but then it just went away??  Haha!  I hate when that happens to me!  In reality, Tarcil is just turning into a grumpy old man.  Haha!  He is still such a sweetheart, but he seems grumpy if he isn't eating or sleeping.  Haha!

Wire Basket

I have been eyeing this wire basket for a few weeks, but I told myself I didn't need it so I didn't buy it.  But of course, when I saw it was on sale, then I suddenly changed my mind and bought it.  Haha!  I am glad I got it because it really is quite cute!

New Basket

I love baskets, and when I saw this one on sale, I thought it would be great to add to my collection.  Doesn't Tarcil look so cute??!!  :)

Purple Mixes

These pretty purple mixes conclude my series of the fabrics I have dyed!  I loved doing this so much!  I think Tarcil is ready for a break from posing with all this fabric.  Look at him trying to run away!  Haha!  :)

Yellow/Green Mixes

So I did get one chance to spend a little time mixing colors before I cleaned up.  I was aiming to get a light and brighter green since the other greens I did were so dark.  I really like what I got and really hope I get a chance to mix and experiment more!  :)  

Tarcil wants to know if this counts as wearing green for St. Patrick's Day.  What do you think?

Greys

I have a weird obsession with grey.  I find myself buying so many grey clothes, I use a lot of grey in my packaging for my business, and I would totally paint my whole house grey if I had the time and money.  Haha!  I think I like that grey provides a blank slate that compliments and helps enhance everything else around it.  Whites, blacks, and colors pop so well when paired with grey.  Doesn't Tarcil look so cute and amazing??!!!?  :)
