...there are so many things i could say about each image in today's collection...
~ those tights are just amazing!
~ the colours of this dress are just perfectly muted vintage loveliness!
~ who wouldn't want a bookshelf, or even an entire library, of such gorgeous patterned books!?
~ who can resist a wee bit of fabric shopping with prints and colours as gorgeous as this!?
~ and why oh why have i not yet learned how to quilt when i could be making something this delicious!?
...if you're still hungry for more yummy-ness pop over to 'all colours in' and gorge yourself silly... ;)
...if that's still not enough then you should definitely check out the print and pattern blog ~ it's one of my absolute faves and a must if you're in need of some inspiration for the week...

...it is raining relentlessly outside, the park was flooded this morning and the wee man almost refused to go for his walk at all. he hates getting wet, he hates getting his paws wet especially. (but for some reason only drinks from a puddle if he's stood right in the middle of it ~ don't ask me, i've got no idea how his wee brain works sometimes!?) but he endured, and after his twenty minute ordeal he was dried off, popped in his bed with a blanket over him and is now happily snoozing away the afternoon...
...he's not the only one, we also have my man at home today. he's also snoozing away the afternoon, but not the good kind of afternoon snooze that is usually enjoyed on a lazy sunday afternoon. no, he's feeling extremely sorry for himself and very poorly indeed as he was up all night worshipping the 'porcelain gods' with some nasty winter vomiting bug...
...at first i thought of just tweaking a few things, doing a bit of tidying up and rearranging. but before i knew it i was redesigning, paring back and de-cluttering. i know i did a wee re-vamp just the other week but i wasn't perfectly happy with it, it still felt cluttered and fussy. so this morning, after pondering over the 'look' i wanted to achieve, i came to this layout. lots of clean lines an lots of white interspersed with splashes of yummy colours...
...i think there is probably a wee bit more tweaking to be done, some of those widgets aren't sitting as nicely as i'd like and some of them may get the boot all together. i think i'll look at again in a few days with fresh eyes and a much less sleepy head. even then i'm sure there will be some wee niggle that i won't be able to leave alone...
...how incredible are these portraits!? i'm utterly fascinated by her attention to colour and detail, and how she has captured such a wonderful sense of depth and character. i would really love to see one of these pieces up close to read the stitches and study the construction. i think it's probably lost a wee bit in these pics, but they must have an wonderful texture too...
...even though the portraits are quite special i think my favourite piece has to be this city scape of Portland, i'm completely mesmerised by the mix of colours and the geometry of the whole thing...
...it's been such a long time since i've spent a few quiet minutes just crocheting flowers, i had almost forgotten how soothing and satisfying they are ~ they're so quick, very pretty and best of all they're a great use for all those oddments of left over yarn, which i seemed to have accumulated a lot of after all those hours of '
...and what i love about making them into garlands is their ability to pretty up the place in an instant! perfect for adding a much needed splash of colour and a touch of 'granny chicness' to a now bare wall...
