Spring Sunshine

Well, the calendar says Spring has arrived - really?  Here in the Northeast we still have snow on the ground and while the sun may be shining through the window, there is quite a nip in the air.  So, I am not ready for capris and flip flops just yet - that's okay - I can deal with that. 

However, I am in the mood for Spring decor - Primitive decor to brighten the walls

Busy, Busy, Busy

Just like the magician on Frosty the Snowman, I have been busy, busy, busy here in my little corner of the world.  My to-do calendar is filled with new project ideas, deadlines, finish new projects to meet those deadlines....it can be a little overwhelming!  But it is so satisfying to complete a project, like this Farm Life shadow box

Colors of Spring

The snow may continue to dust the ground here in Northern New England, but at kimberleeannkreations the Colors of Spring are beginning to take center stage!  Bright Greens, Pinks, shades of Blue - paired together creating a new Spring collection of Jewelry.

Primitive Patterns

Lately I have been obsessed with Primitive Houses - tall skinny ones with small additions standing tall on a hill with trees and flags and white picket fences.  I can't seem to get enough - I draw them, cut them from fabrics and paper, fill every spot to make a welcoming Primitive Gathering place.

This past week I put the final touches on my first Primitive House pattern which you can find in my etsy shop -  https://www.etsy.com/listing/124439954/primitive-welcome-house-pattern-quilt

Cold and Hot

The first Monday of February, 2013, dawned in typical Maine fashion - windy, Cold, and partly cloudy.  The warm temperatures that accompanied last weeks storm are now but a memory, leaving behind nothing but bare ground and an occasional snowbank to remind us that it is still winter.  Despite the Cold temperatures today,

Color Color Everywhere

Color - primary colors, secondary colors, pastels, brights - so many shades of color how does one choose?  Well, for me (and probably a lot of crafters) I live by my color wheel!  No matter if I am choosing paper or fabric, my color wheel is in my hand or on my craft table - never out of my reach. 

Typically I have that one piece of fabric or paper that my design is being created around - that is the easy part - now comes the color wheel part.  I like to choose color opposites
