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 every Tuesday and find us a pretty picture to add colour and joy to the day.

Crocheters love wool, ergo we love sheep so I’m sharing this photo taken in Lier, Belgium in September 2008 with you.


Lovely as sheep are, in life, humans shouldn’t be sheep. Let you heart and your true self lead you so that you don’t have to follow the pack. If you absolutely have to be a sheep, be the black sheep – at least he stands out.

Aren’t these flowers just too colourful for words?! Hubby bought them for me while he was at the shops on Saturday. He knows his wife so well!

As you can see the Striped Stopper is still doing his draft stopping thing, and very successfully at that!

I hope you are having a terrific Tuesday friends!

This photo of the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas was taken on 14 December 2011, on my 10 year wedding anniversary. In our first year of marriage Hubby and I promised ourselves that when we reached the 10 year mark we would renew our vows in Vegas, so we did!

It was fun, and at the same time I had to wipe away the odd tear when we exchanged rings and said “I do” again.  I really didn’t expect to be so emotional, considering we were at the same quicky wedding chapel that Demi Moore & Bruce Willis, Britney Spears & Jason Alexander, Frank Sinatra & Mia Farrow and Peter Holm and Joan Collins (amongst others) had used. ♥ I guess if the love is real, it doesn’t matter where, how, or how many times you say “I do” ♥

Little White Chapel

We made a little video with the photos taken that day. You can see the video on my Afrikaans blog here. (WordPress wanted to charge me to upload the video, and Facebook and YouTube had issues with the background music, so Blogger was the only place I could upload the video.) The music really “makes” the video so put on your earphones and turn op the volume.

If nothing else, the song will make you feel good and brighten your Tuesday!

Have a terrific Tuesday friends!

It’s the first working day of 2012 so I think we need something really pretty. I so love this photo I took of the single huge chrysanthemum on our coffee table. The cushion in the background was my first attempt at designing and embroidering a cushion. To make it hazy and extra lovely I used the Instagram effect called Amaro.

I hope I managed to add a spot of colour and happiness to your day. Here where I am it’s pouring with rain and you can’t even use an umbrella because the wind is too strong! I’ll be referring back to this yellow flower and cozy livingroom photo a few times today. Feel free to do the same 🙂

Have a terrific Tuesday.

Out of all the famous people on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, I relate most with this little green fellow.

I so love the contrast, textures and shapes in this photo (taken last week along the South Bank, London). It’s not much – just pavement and grass, but the autumn leaves seem to bring them together in such a wonderful way.

Do you feel inspired to take on Tuesday? I hope so!

Have a terrific Tuesday!

Today’s photo isn’t exactely a holiday snap, but it’s so colourful I just have to share it! These are four of the brooches that didn’t sell at the Christmas Fayre on Saturday, so I photographed them for Etsy. The sheet of colourful stripey paper was just begging to be photographed with the roses. It’s a match made in heaven don’t you think?


I hope my crochet roses was the burst of colour you needed to make your Tuesday terrific! (I’m wearing the blueish rose at the top of the bottom photo. If no-one wants to buy it, I might as well wear it hey?) 🙂

This morning, before heading out the door, I grabbed hubby’s iPhone and did a quick Instagram photo featuring my Mulberry opagues and the bestest, most colourful rug in the whole world. Thanks Ikea!:

Did it work? Did I inspire you to take on Tuesday? I hope so!

Have a terrific Tuesday.
