A Colorful Life!

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Today is my birthday, so I thought I would write about one of my favorite things in the whole world... Color!

I was reading my friend, Brenda Pinnick's, blog the other day and loved her new Color University articles.

She showed me that there are color pallets all around us!

Week 2 of Brenda's Color University brilliantly showed her color pallet was inspired by embroidery thread!

A few days later after reading her post, I realized that the circle-bobble squares are not just fun to make but are also color pallets for me to use on future projects that bring me happiness and joy.

I love picking out the colors and deciding which order to arrange them.

After each one is done, I think "How cool ~ I love that one!" and ... "Ooo that would make a great teddy bear, or sweater or painting or rug for my kitchen."

After I realized that I was creating my favorite color combinations with my yarn, I started looking at everything as a color pallet such as the food we put on our plates, the clothes I pick out to wear, and the sunsets we enjoy in the evening.

The colors bring me joy, inspiration and make me smile.

By making these squares, I am visually planning projects I have not made yet. It is like prepaving a wonderful journey.

How exciting is that?!

Here are some of my squares that I have been working on and the color swatches that I have libraried for reference...

I am working on a whole pile of them to send to Knit-A-Square for my October donation.

I think these colors will make a wonderful future Mother Bear or Bobble Sweater.

What are your favorite colors? Please let me know! I would love to hear!

Have a super colorful day!
