colour palette, crochet, hand painted tiles, V&A museum, Vinnis

On a Monday I can still remember the fun I had over the weekend, Wednesday is the middle of the work week, on Thursday I start getting hopeful and on a Friday I can taste the weekend. But what about a Tuesday? It’s so…. just there. Weekend memories are too far away and the upcoming weekend might as well be a year away.

What we need is a bit of colourful inspiration to get us going on a Tuesday, don’t you think? A pretty picture, beautiful scenery or colourful imagery. Yup, that’ll liven up Tuesdays and turn it into a terrific day!

From now on I will go through my photos and Pinterest likes every Tuesday and find us a pretty picture to add colour and joy to the day.

Vinnis colour palette blue and red tiles

Yesterday I showed you a collection of all the beautiful things I saw at the V&A Museum but today’s Terrific Tuesday focuses on only one of the inspiring pieces: Turkish tiles made at the Iznik potteries near Istanbul in 1580.  They might be more than 400 years old but they can still inspire us with their beautiful colour. The Vinnis Nikkim yarn in this colour palette is available here.

Wishing you all a Terrific Tuesday.

I just love this granny square skirt outfit. I’m also imagining it in soft greys, or cream and beige. Going on my To Hook List sharpish!

Wishing you all a Terrific Tuesday.

relax and dream up a good life quote
I created this InstaQuote after watching Jim Carrey’s commencement address at Maharishi University in Iowa. It will blow your mind. Watch it here.

This is the main motif of this Japanese pattern for a crochet top. I adore it! Unfortunately, I won’t be making more of these pretty square lacy motifs because I need 18 50g balls of yarn for top! I only have 10 ballsof Vinnis Serina and seriously can’t justify having to buy eight more at almost £5 a ball – on top of the 10 I already bought! So, the yarn will be used for a knitted sweater which only needs 8 balls and this motif will beautify my bedside table. Once I worked away the two tail ends of course.

Wishing you all a Terrific Tuesday.

green granny square blanket from mygirlthursday

http://www.pinterest.com/pin/62065301089612844/

This true vintage granny square blanket lives in Lisa, from the lala fauxbois blog’s home. I love everything about this photo. If my grandmother and I were to collaborate to decorate a bedroom, this is what it would look like. Gran had a bedding set of orange flowers with green leaves in soft flannel very similar to the ones in the photo. Whenever we had sleepovers at her house, the spare bed would be made up with that set of flowery sheets and pillow cases. To match her sheets, she would definitely have gone for the orange and brown print above the bed and I, of course, would have added a granny square afghan.

Wishing you all a Terrific Tuesday.

Crocheting something using the pineapple stitch has always been on my To Hook list, but it can so easily look old-fashioned (and not in a pretty vintage way). That was until I saw this Japanese pineapple stitch scarf using thin (probably 4-ply) lime green yarn. Love it.

Wishing you all a Terrific Tuesday.
