Did you ever....

Did you ever find yourself at work, in full conversation with someone about something that should have some relevance, but in your head you're saying to yourself, "I REALLY should be posting". I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me this week. For some reason I feel so blog unproductive these past few months, I skim around everyone else's blog and it seems like there are swaps and projects  going on everywhere, and if they aren't swapping or contributing, they are knitting, sewing, printing or photographing something. And here I am at work, trying to pay attention and act excited about the new products, when all I really want to be doing is shooting some photos and posting. I did feel a little better on Friday after lunch, when I had time to stop by a few of my favorite blogs, only to find that there were a lot of people not posting this week. And because of some really bad planning on the part of my husband and myself, our grand plans for today may come to a screeching halt, it seems that the festival has sold out, and no tickets will even be sold at the door. We go here almost every Friday to the tasting room for happy hour, and have been reading the posters on the wall for the event for weeks now, never thinking that it was going to be so popular. I guess we will go and tell our sob story to the man at the door, hoping for a little sympathy. If not, there will be photos from somewhere for tomorrows post, because this girl is freaking to get out and do something creative!!! I leave you with the color collage of the week, this one Greenblue. Have a productive weekend everyone, I'm giddy with anticipation to see what everyone else has been up to.

 

A new project for a new year

I thought I would start off the new year with a little challenge for myself. A series of color collages, one a week. Maybe if it turns out well I can make a Blurb Book with all of them. So here's to a new year of blogging, and for a fresh start, inspired by the very talented Heather, by first collage will be white. Now remember the other day I said I had stopped somewhere on the way home from the beach, but wanted to save it for another day?? Well, with a doorway as inviting as this

how could I keep myself from going inside?? It's the new yarn shop in town and the minute I walked in I knew I had to get out before American Express was hauling this girls butt to the poor house. The colors were amazing, the softness so plush. Now you all know that my knitting skills leave MUCH to be desired, in fact that scarf that I started weeks before Christmas is still balled up next to my bed, and every night I look at it, and then my mind wanders to a gazillion different things. I better get crackalackin on that, it's suppose to be a gift for someone special, and I don't have much time left. But inside the shop I had grand thoughts, maybe I could reproduce that Martha Stewart Jail Poncho, and wouldn't it be great in shades of chestnut?? And maybe a nice cashmere blend??

Thank God the minute practical side of my brain kept pinching me to get out before it was too late. I left with nothing but the class schedule for February and a warm fuzzy feeling in my heart. It was a good thing, I all of a sudden remembered the bag of yarn from last February that was filled with good intentions and approximately 3 Granny Squares. UGH, why can't I just follow through?? Good night my friends, and thanks to all that stopped by to wish me a happy one year!!

Red Friday

this is what i came up with for Red Friday, after spending the better side of an hour trying to photograph the robin outside on the blueberry tree. I guess if I had one of those lard balls covered in bird seed hanging on the tree he might not have minded that I was taking his picture, but then you have to worry about the bird poop everywhere.  Ah, what's a girl to do??

Yellow Thursday

Here's what i came up with for yellow Thursday, and it was uplifting to say the least.  It's pouring buckets from the sky today and for some odd reason the dogs let me sleep until 10:30 this morning, UNHEARD OF!!!!!! They probably didn't want to go out in this mess either.  Don't worry boys, we're not going anywhere today.  I just hope the lighting is ok for me to shoot some photos for my shop.  Enjoy the weather where ever you are today, for me, I'd enjoy it more if I were a duck. 

Pink Wednesday

Todays color is pink, and I'm really not a big fan of the color, it was always a little too prissy, girly for me, but here's how I'll get around this one

Green Tuesday

late for work, but there's always time to post my color week photo-enjoy

Turquoise Monday

I decided to join handmaid in her color week, Monday being turquoise.  I'm very into color these days, it must be the coming of Spring!! I also joined A Year of Color on Flickr, which is a little more demanding, but it's great to see what everyone comes up with.  Enjoy
