I was talking to my friend Amy this morning and she just discovered Etsy last night. She is super hooked now! I can just picture her awake into the wee hours of the morning thinking of what she could make and sell on there.

I find out at the end of this month if I got into the One of a Kind Christmas show in Toronto. If I do I will be into major production mode. Up until now I have been designing and making one of each idea.

I also find out soon if the night course that I signed up for is actually running...and if it is...Tuesdays are going to be my printing night!

This week I have been working on monkeys. I will post a picture later today so you can see the little cuties.

Today I am just going to show you some pictures that have great colour. I think I will do this every Monday, in keeping with the theme of my blog. We went to the beachfront yesterday and this is what the sky looked like...beautiful blue spring sky.



And this is Penny playing in the fresh green grass...finally the grass is green again. I think my new favourite colour is grass green...even though I love all greens, I think I may be partial to this one right now.



And last but not least, I bought new purple "duck" tape for my silk screens. Love it! Although, now the kids think the screens are so fun and cool, they must be toys. I will get a picture of the purple tape and post that too:)

Welcome to my shiny new blog!

Your Favourite Colour Junkie is all about me and my life as a maker-mom.
I love bright colours. On my kids, my walls, the blankets on my bed.

After almost ten years as a designer and slave to the mass market textile industry I gave birth to a son. One year later we were lucky to be blessed with a daughter...Now that our family is complete I decided to start making again...only this time as a small business working into the wee hours of the night after the munchkins are sleeping (or not). Luckily I have a super supportive hubby (love ya babe) who helps me make it all happen.

So what do I make???
I design and screen print fabric which I then mix and match with store bought and vintage finds to make....
blankets
toys
pillows
ottomans
storage bins
basically fun and funky things for your home or for your baby!

With this blog I plan to:
share new designs I am working on....
show you some of the things that inspire me...
expose you to the world of crafty goodness out there!

So check back often!
Here's a peek at some of my wares:)
