Going to the….houndstooths

A trio of black and white houndstooth patterns. The smaller size of these houndstooths bridges the gap between bold black and white patterns and an entire palette of colors, whether solid, textured or more intricate patterns.

The narrowest, “Houndstooth 9” is 1 1/2″ wide, with a black vinyl edge giving a definitive border to the pattern.

In the 2 1/2″ width, “Houndstooth Mini” the pattern is smaller, while the wire edge is covered in black thread.

The widest, 4″, “Houndstooth 100” has the same size pattern as the 1 1/2″ and features a black thread serged over the wired edge.

Tractors are set to work – decorating!

There was a lot of clamor and noise coming from the back this morning. The sound of motors, of equipment moving along, getting into position. Were my neighbors embarking on a project? Was the city trimming trees or doing roadwork? I open the backdoor, looking to see what was going on. Nothing in the neighbor’s yard, nothing in the street. Puzzled, I glance around. The cat comes out, sliding by to go down the steps. I reach to grab him, when I finally see what caused the racket. Now sitting quietly on the steps, the tractors had returned from the fair. They don’t like to be idle and they’ll start rumbling soon if they don’t find work. They aren’t, however, much use moving dirt. Their area of expertise is the decorative arts and they’re ready to go to work when you are!

A heathered yellow background shows off the detail on the green truck, who specializes in farm decor and summer and spring projects.

Red likes to work in Christmas projects, but feels a red tractor ribbon is equally at home in summer.

Green hastens to point out that green tractors and Christmas are a natural fit and that green is the color of new leaves in spring.

and they brought back a new friend, the red truck. Equally ready to work in any season!

Another glance and I saw their Pop, a grand green and yellow tractor, off to the side, happy to welcome them back.

Ladybugs, Checks and Dots: Ribbon Combo of the Day

Our ribbon combo of the day shouts summer! Bright sunlit days, resting on the porch, warm twilight evenings, hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill. Can you say Picnic? In today’s combo, glittering red polka dots, bright moss green gingham, and ladybug check join together, jetting off to Iowa. “Dots In A Line”, “Great Gingham Moss”, and “Ladybug Check”: a perky and cheery summer combo!

Bringing the sparkle is “Dots In A Line”, with red glitter dots lining up in the center, edged with a red and white striped pattern on white faux linen. As this combo shows, the pattern shines for summer projects and, of course, Christmas!

Don’t all good summer designs need a check? One of our extensive collection of gingham offerings, “Great Gingham Moss”, with bright green and white, comes in two widths. There’s the 2 1/2″ used in today’s combo plus a 1 1/2″ width. You can choose 3 yard increments or ten yard lengths.

Prefer a narrower 1 1/2 inch width? Again, you can purchase in 3 yard increments and 10 yard lengths.

Bringing this trio together is the always stately but fun, Lady Bug, a 2 1/2″ wide satin ribbon (made in the U.S.). She contrasts nicely on her green checked field, don’t you think?

Weekly Top Five Ribbons: Navy Tops May

Surprise, surprise, Navy Blue takes three of the top five spots on the favorite ribbons list for May! Somehow, Iced Plum “Charisma” snuck in there and the large white jingle bell held its own but Navy was the big winner for views in the Cottage Crafts Etsy shop.

Of course, Navy is popular for Americana and patriotic decor, but it’s also trending high with brides, with lace adorning cakes and satin used as a sash and floral wrap. We predict it will remain at the top through June, especially for 4th of July wreaths, floral arrangements and picnic decorations. Speaking of July 4th, keep an eye out for a post with all our new patriotic ribbons coming soon!

#5. Navy blue burlap twine

Natural burlap string on a 400 yard roll. Along with Navy, Natural Tan, Ivory and Red are best sellers.

#4. Iced Plum Charisma

“Charisma” ribbons are gorgeous two tone taffetas that shimmer from one color to the other, creating tones which show on both sides of the ribbon. Iced Plum, 1 1/2″ wide, is a mid-range purple that flashes a soft mossy green – gold, depending on the angle of the light hitting it.

#3. White Jingle Bell

Also versatile, our super-large white jingle bell can fit into almost any color scheme. Pair it up with our red bell for July 4th — oh, you want to add a navy bell to that? Only takes a quick pass with navy spray paint over the white! Or a few brush strokes of navy craft paint for stripes!
