Color

I love color!    It energizes me.  Makes me happy.  Lifts my mood.

Aren't these pretty?   I have a yellow one....so much happier than boring old kitchen white.

How about these colorful bowls?  I gotta get some of those!

Or maybe some of these?   They would go great with my Fiesta dinnerware.

Yesterday I was at the mall looking for some new tops.  And this girl wanted COLOR!  What I saw was noticeably low on color.  I saw loads of black, gray, browns and olive drab......but not much of this:

That rainbow display of tank tops was just this last July.  Why oh why is it absent from the mall 3 months later?   Sigh.    Maybe it's time for a trip to Hawaii......the land of gorgeous color.   :)

Blankets

I always crochet a new blanket for the grand babies.  I finished Heidi's a while back but didn't want to post a picture of it, as it's a nice surprise for Jenn when she gets to see it.   We never know gender so I have to pick colors not knowing.  For Liam I did a white with some variegated colors.....for David I did purple.  This time I chose this rich yummy blue.   Its gorgeous and looks great even for a girl.    :)

Here's Miss Heidi with the blanket and big ole' yawn!

I also make a baby quilt which I can now show.  I don't do anything fancy since they get washed a ton.  The four patches use flannels that are in all three of the grand kid blankets.   The other print is new to this baby.  Again I was forced to pick a color........unfortunately I didn't find a neutral pastel in flannels locally and went with blue.....thinking we'd be welcoming a Peter and not Heidi.   Oh well.   Quilts for her from now on will be definitely feminine. 

My latest distraction

Heidi Anne and Nana.   Sweet love.
