colour palette, colour scheme, cotton yarn, Etsy

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 3

I’m crazy about this Bougainvillea creeping up the rustic old building in Eze Village, Nice. In South Africa Bougainvillea is very common, but very rarely seen in the UK (waaaay too cold here).  When I saw this amazing creeping beauty on holiday in Nice, childhood memories of walking home from school past the deep pink flowers came rushing back. One day I will capture the image in hand-dyed cotton yarn from my shop.

Wishing you all a Terrific Tuesday.

Vinnis Palette 4

The photo of the Chapel Bridge over Lake Lucerne, taken by John in June 2010, is the source of this week’s colour palette. I love the combination of strong wood, brightly coloured dainty flowers and reflective water. As always, the hand-dyed cotton yarn is available to purchase for £3.50 per ball in my Etsy shop.

Wishing you all a Terrific Tuesday.

The Eiffel Tower photographed at sunset in July of 2008. If there ever was an image that should be captured in a colour palette of yarn (which can be bought here), this is it.

Wishing you all a Terrific Tuesday.

Vinnis palette collage 1

When we walked past this house in Villajoyosa, Spain I never thought that the beautiful tiles and blue wall would inspire a colour palette of yarns that I stock in my Etsy shop, but it did and I do!

Holiday memories encapsulated in yarn. I can’t think of anything better.

Wishing you all a Terrific Tuesday.

crochet in the sun

It’s a colour explosion! This is what our patio table looked like on Sunday afternoon. The sun came out so I rushed outside with a granny square coaster for my coffee, the smiling kidney granny squares (the free pattern is here) and my Sunset Shades chevron scarf. The balls of Vinni’s Colours were rolling all over the paving and I lost my crochet hook a few times through the gaps in the table, but it had to be done – when the sun comes out and the light is this perfect, I do my business al fresco.

Wishing you all a Terrific Tuesday.

This pretty living room scene with the fireplace, comfy couch and hexagon crochet throw is what I’m craving today *she says with a runny nose, reaching for the cough syrup*

My Sunset Shades chevron scarf in the making. Perfect for a burst of colour on a Tuesday isn’t it?  There are four more colours in the scarf which I haven’t photographed yet. I’m using Vinnis Nikkim 100 % cotton DK yarn. The colours that you see here (from right to left) are Stone, Baby Yellow, Ballet Pink, Peach and Red Violet and Natural. All credit should go to my Mom who gave me a bag of Vinnis Nikkim when I went to visit her in Cape Town earlier this year. She chose the colours – I just had to put them together.  You’ve got a great eye for colour Mom!

I’m writing up the pattern and colour sequence for this scarf so you’ll be able to make one for yourself too! Would you want to make your scarf in exactly these colours? I’d love to hear from you.

Wishing you all a Terrific Tuesday
