I'd been fiddling around making fabric boxes to display my patterns in . I finished this one and showed it to my family , this is the reaction I got - "It's got brown on it Mum " and "Didn't you have your glasses on Mum , you used brown " My family knows well my dislike of brown , I wouldn't wear a brown piece of clothing if it was the last item on earth so it was a bit of a surprise to see me sewing something with the dreaded brown in it .
They could of at least said "Great work Mum even though you used brown "
If we didnt have brown we wouldnt have the earth :) I dont mind a bit of brown but its got to be the right shade of brown. I like your container Clare..it looks great :)
ReplyDeleteI guess it makes and takes all types to make the world go round....
ReplyDeleteI lurrrvvveeee browns!
I look good in brown more so than black too.
But in any case brown or not your little boxes look great!
Ah yes, but your brown is accompanied by turqoise and blue... which is very hip and chic!
ReplyDeleteI think your display looks fantastic Clare... it makes me want to reach out and grab it! It's a stand-out! :-)
Hugs, Vikki xx
I love it Clare, even with the brown. I think blue and brown go well together. hugs Clare x
ReplyDeleteI love your box Clare. I love the fabric, almost bought the same one at Spotlight last Saturday.

ReplyDeletei love brown especially if paired with tiffany blue and pink!
ReplyDeleteI love brown and love that fabric! Your boxes are nice!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely Clare. Kids! LOL You can always rely on them to boost your ego. Pam xx
ReplyDelete:o))) Great idea..lov e the display...Lovely ... and I love that fabric you used.. but I love both brown an blue/green..:o)))
ReplyDeleteI love how our kids tell us what to do and what not to do. Funny. Fabric boxes - such a good idea.
ReplyDeleteI love brown, it is so rich, warm & inviting ... versatile with any other colors. Cute case. TTFN ~ Marydon
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how certain colors just make our skin crawl...
ReplyDeleteStay Cozy & Colorful,

I used to feel that way about brown. Brown is now okay with me. Brown is a great sidekick to other colors because of its neutral quality.
ReplyDeleteI love brown, sorry!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your little birds...you are one creative person.
Hmmm, you better be careful!! I used to avoid greens too for the same reason ... now, after using it in a project ages ago I find I'm liking greens and actually choosing to use them. He he ... you might just start liking brown :o)!!! Next thing you know you'll be buying a big brown winter cardi LOLOL!!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Joy :o)
I was like you once Clare lol but now I cannot get enough of it, I choose that colour the most in my card making and every other thing I do and I even wear brown now. Once upon a time I would not have gone near brown at all!!! I love your project though it looks fantastic, and a really lovely colour combo hehe

Hey Clare! Oh - I know JUST how you feel! I feel about pink the same way you do about brown, and even though I'm starting to use it a bit as I am working lots with shabby chic colours, people still rag on me when they see pink in my projects!! I just tell them that I am obviously maturing in my creativity enough to confidently use colours I'm not overly fond of! Tee! Hee! Hee! Sounds good, hey! Cute little fabric pattern holders, by the way!! Bear Hugs! KRIS
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to display your pattern packets Clare and I actually quite like the fabric.
ReplyDeleteHugs ~ Kerryanne
I heart brown, so I naturally heart your boxes!! Very funny response though, LOL :-)
ReplyDeleteSo glad I found another quilter who hates brown. I really hate that colour in quilts. But like in your beautiful box it looks different with lots of blue or turkois. It's lovely.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind a bit of brown, and your bag and bear are delightful

I'm not crazy for brown, either... but for some reason those sneaky fabric designers know how to make it look GOOD.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog, as well :)

ReplyDeletethat is very nice fabric and the bag is a great idea. kids are soooo honest.
ReplyDelete%*_*%
i reckon great work . I am a brown person. Love visiting .
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, brown is not a colour that speaks to me but sometimes we surprise ourselves with our choices.
ReplyDeleteThat fabric is beautiful! In my teens, I didn't like brown at all but now I love it. Great job on the fabric box!
ReplyDeleteI can understand your adversion to brown. It just does not rate on my colour list AT ALL!!!. I am the same not a brown piece of clothing sits in my cupboard. All my family know of my hate of brown and never buy me anything with brown in it. LOL!!
