Late again the last day of a colourful week

I started late and I am finishing late on the week of colour run by Curious Bird. The last day, yesterday, was stripes and plaids. Here are some stripes and plaids from my fabric stash. They are going to one day be a red and white log cabin table cloth. One day live will give me a little space to work on some of the projects I want to do. Of course, I would have more time if I was not so hooked on playing on line scrabble at Lexulous.

Think Pink

In a week of colour pink has got to be my most challenging colour. I am not a pink girl and I have three sons, so no pink there. Our house has can very definatly be called a pink free zone. Only one teatowel that happened to be draped over the drying dishes (our dish washer is still not working). Maybe it is time for me to unleash some pink around the house, or may be not.

Colourful Week - Day Three Yellow and Today's Daisy #78

Today is Yellow in Curious Bird's week of colour. When it comes to yellow it has got to be a daisy, obvious really.

My secateurs are also yellow, so that I can find them when I lose them in the garden, which is quite often.

And of course some of my honey pots are also yellow.

Another colourful week - day two Purple

Today's colour in a colourful week, run by Curious Bird, is Purple. I know there is a lot of purple in the garden, but all I could think of in the house was my rocking chair. When I was 14, I think, all I wanted for my birthday was a rocking chair! No idea why. So my wonderful Mum found the chair below. I think it must have needed some TLC. She stripped it down, re varnished it and recovered the seat. She made a great job of it because 30+ years later it still looks good.

Even the cushion on the chair has a story. My Mum made it and gave it to a raffle as a prize. Guess who won the coushion back again, yes my Mum. So she gave it to me and I think it looks perfect on my chair.

Thinking there was not a lot of purple in my house I then noticed the beautiful scarf that Peter's Mum gave me for my christmas.

Turning around again I then noticed the little quilt, made by guess who, my Mum. It is pinned on my notice board and it looks great. Then as I was about to download my pics I spotted myself in the mirror, yes there I am wearing a purple tshirt for purple Tuesday without ever noticing it.

If you want to see some more purple why not visit Curious Bird.

Another colourful week - day one

Curious bird is hosting a week of Colour. Monday's theme was blue and I am one day too late already. I forgot.

Blue is an easy colour to find in my house. The jug above seemed to suit my mood this morning. A bit old and tatty, but still useful and looks good in my eyes.

I am off to take some pictures of purple things, lot more difficult to find than the blue ones.
