I was just sitting here the other day, watching Green Acres and trying really hard to keep working on this when I noticed how much it was starting to take on the qualities of other things in the house. That Laura Ashley Christmas candle, the tea saucer, the zinnias on the table. And it’s not the first time it’s happened. I am so intrigued by myself right now. I must be so influenced by the things I’m looking at, just whatever’s there in front of me, that it sneaks into my design choices and I don’t even know it’s happening. Wow. Somebody do a psychological study.
I was admiring the zinnias and thinking about how those colors are kind of the perfect palette, all those pinks and oranges; salmons, geraniums, limes, butter yellows, olives. How much I love zinnias.
What else was there to do? Pattern here.
This is the perfect little block for a zinnia. The colors are right up my alley. Are you starting a new blanket?
ReplyDeleteIt is fun to see how we are influenced by the things around us. I'm going to pay more attention to that next time I start something new.
Bom dia, que chique essa manta e as flores de crochê que lindas. Tenho tanto resto de lã, vou fazer uma manta. Obrigada pela inspiração.
ReplyDeleteTenha uma ótima semana.

ReplyDeleteI'm loving that blanket. The colors are so fun. I always have a hard time committing to colors in a project, but you do it so beautifully!
I recognise that pattern (I only made 180!) but yours are millions of times nicer in the colours you have used and workmanship. I think you are right, you're serenaded by your surroundings!
