Ah, The Cardboard Box : :

My children are some of the most creative and amazing individuals I've ever known, but still...nothing quite spark's their imagination more than a cardboard box! The delivery of a large order of yarn doesn't mean just excitement for me, it means raiding the craft supplies and hours of busy fun. What parent doesn't love that!?! Cardboard, the original kid toy ~ So prevalent, that when we went for Jacob's 5th birthday to the Strong National Museum of Play, we had to laugh when we saw a cardboard box behind the glass in the Hall. It's reputation as a plaything had given it a spot in the National Toy Hall of Fame, one of very few non-brand-specific toys to be honored with inclusion. Pretty cool!

The first half of my yarn order. The colors look a little like Spring to me...
I wanted to share a little of what I've been making this week. Most of the week has been busy making Valentine's with the boys and cupcakes, but I did find time to start a new embroidery project. I am doing the embroidery free hand, but I did get the idea from an embroidery pattern. I'm adding a lot more too it and will be sharing more of this one soon...
