After a busy couple of weeks studying and getting projects finished for my blog hop day and TGIFF, I finally started to paper piece a couple of patterns for Kristy – a fire engine and a train. Only to discover that my stash is sorely lacking in blues. As in, virtually nil. Seriously. A couple of greeny blues that are certainly not appropriate for using as sky (think paisley and floral in a few colours), and that’s it. Seems I’ve used them already for the helicopter and plane! Well, maybe some of my Good Fortune would have worked, but that’s too precious 😉
So yesterday I picked up some more blues – the one with the black dots is for the train body (Thomas!).

And then I spotted some Meadow Friends by Deb Strain – perfect for grass!
And lastly, some adorable kokeshi-ish dolls just because! My favourite is the one with the baby popping over mummy’s shoulder!
Linking up with Fiona for Sunday Stash!
PS – a couple of days left to enter the Intrepid Thread giveaway and the I-spy charms!

It’s funny when you realise that you have totally bypassed a section of the colour wheel. I am like this with yellow (found out with that rainbow swap). You have been very restrained buying up some blue this week. Glad you are free to do some sewing for yourself now that your lovely transport I-Spy is complete.
