April’s Calendar… and that’s no joke!

Yup, April already! What a fun month April is, I mean c’mon it starts with a joke day, how fun it that! Remind me some time to tell you the practical joke my husband played on me in 1997. It was awful, funny but awful! As most practical jokes are. Don’t worry I waited it out until 2008 when he wasn’t suspecting and I got him back! SO GOOD! Ha!

You guessed it… this month’s calendar was inspired by the saying “April showers bring May flowers”. You can download it here . What you do with it is completely up to you… because it’s completely for you!

The Warp and Weft goodies I used this month for the calendar were from Merchant Mills Five Pins Set.  I just LOVE this pin pack! Okay, full admission, I go ga-ga over this pin pack! It includes:

• the prettiest ever Dressmaking pins (practical!)
• Entomology pins- which are the pins they use for pinning bugs (nope, not gross) and they are the most beautiful pins ever! They slide through fabric like nobody’s business!
• Black bulb pins- the little rain drops are the black light bulb pins, again so pretty! I use them to group my collection of selvages by different designers.
• Glass Headed Pins- not your plastic crap pins here.
• and Black Safely Pins. I used those in the February drawing.

They are all SOOOOOoooo exquisite! Then of course the fabric I drew:

• The large cloud is fabric is  Cloud9 called Up, up and Away – Dots Blue Moon.
• The middle cloud, again is Cloud9, Up, up and Away – Air Blue Moon
• Then the last little cloud Cloud9, Up, up and Away – Free Blue Moon

What I want to know is whose fun job it is to name collections? I want that job! How fun would that be!

So there you have it April’s calendar, have a great month! …remember, watch your back for practical jokers today!
