ODE TO COLOR ON A DREARY DAY





So it is a chilly, rainy kind of dreary day. We took our Grandkids to go and see Shrek-so many good ideas for quilts in that film-the artwork is wonderful if you look close. Then we took the kids out to the river and dropped them off in the rain with their parents-they ran and got their bikes and joined other kids in the chilly weather, undetered. It was wonderful. No kid ever worries about the weather. A little girl had a new bathing suit she wanted to try out and she put it on over her sweats with a jacket. :0) Very attractive if you are four years old. :0)
I took many photos in Germany of colored things just for a lift sometimes to get color in my head. I thought I would share these. Remember to comment to get in on the drawing. Recipes are welcome by all of us.

More AWESOME pictures, Mary Lou! There are so many colorful inspirations everywhere we look if we'll just slow down long enough to actually see them! Especially love those red hands! :-)

Wish you could have snapped a photo of that little girl in her new bathing suit. So precious!!!

It has been hot and very muggy here today. Wish I could send you some of our heat, but I'm definitely sending y'all warmth from my heart! :~D

I just love looking at thread in the store, so many beautiful colors and shades. We had sun and clouds today, so not too bad.

Love this post! I just recently did a podcast episode on color and color inspiration and talked about all the places you can look to for ideas on how to combine colors. I've now linked a blog entry to this post as it's the perfect example. All those photos of vegetables--love them! Thanks so much. Sandy H (http://quilter.podbean.com)
