COLOURS!!

About this time every year, I'm reminded about how much I love colour. Even my writing seems more colourful. It's as if it wants to fight the greyness in me and burst out!



So it's a joy to bring it into my home (and balcony).



This is where I sit and work when I can - me and the pigeons.



And to bring some colour to your computer too, here are the three most beautiful and colourful blogs I've been enjoying recently:

1. The joyful Color Me Katie

2. The designer eye of Kris's Color Stripes

3. Yolanda's gardening and general gorgeousness blog

And I'm going to set you a challenge to write about colour - not just one, red or blue or yellow, but them all!



Enjoy!!!

Enjoying colour where I can find it...

colour...

For a long time now, I've got pleasure from the number of crafty and inspirational blogs there are around. I don't know why but I always presumed the writers of these domestic gems would be the last people to embrace technology, but perhaps blogs are now the equivalent of the traditional country diary. There must be plenty of research going on about the writers of blogs, but I wonder how many there are on the readers. Are they mostly people like me, who buy intricate cookery books, knowing I might never cook any of the recipes but still enjoy reading them avidly (and hungrily)? Anyway, recently I've been noticing an interest in colour. As well as Karen's beautiful blog, two special mentions go to this Superhero guide to a colourful business but maybe my first stop should be this guide to colour basics.
