I've come to a creative dead end of late, loads of ideas but nothing I could start right away as I'm waiting to stumble upon just the right materials during my thrifty travels, but even those have been few and far between...
so a little project was in order to keep my hands busy at night time, to give me a little something fun to focus on, to unwind, and to keep all those busy thoughts jumbling about up there at bay.
I decided to make another summer cotton rug. I really just imagined 4 basic colours, beige, grey, navy and cream but I can't find a navy cotton anywhere, so here's hoping that peachy colour will blend in the way I'd like.
It's always nice to have a little something on the go, I think, therapeutic even...

It's beautiful Mel, your colour choices are so soft and pretty. I too love the repetitiveness of the ripple blankets and how relaxing it can be to do. Have a lovely day:) xx
ReplyDeleteI think it will look 'just peachy' indeed! A lovely soft combination but still beautifully neutral. I am having a 'giveaway' for a little girl's pink tote on my blog today..if you know of any little girls or are interested.
ReplyDeleteit's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYes something there's nothing like some meditative repetitive yarn craft. I'm find the same with the socks this week xo
It is so beautiful Mel - it attracted my eye instantly on the creative space page! I think that peach colour will work better than navy too - it has he same softness of the other colours and navy may be a bit too strong. I never know these things until I actually try them, but I think you are on the right track. Nice work :) Kx
ReplyDeleteI love it - beautiful colours and I think the peach is going to be perfect! Keep us updated....
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Always love your colour choices.

ReplyDeleteA bit of night time creating is perfect for stilling one's mind. I adore ripple blankets and your colour choice is always spot on Mel.
ReplyDeleteJust thought I'd quickly mention a few other food blogs that have been instrumental in our dietary changes.
'Sprouted Kitchen' 'Green kitchen stories' 'Whole promise' and '101 cookbooks'. You may have already stumbled on them but just in case :)
How is your journey going?
