Yellow Thoughts

 


Since 2 August, I have dedicated  about 30 minutes to an hour each day to complete a stitching meditation. I have been focussing on the colours in my garden.... yellow has been predominant. So many plants in our garden have yellow flowers and with Spring and the coming Summer, these are eye catching. 

Yellow is just one of those colours that shouts brightness, sunshine, and positivity - it is puzzling that it has also has such negative connotations.

Do you wear yellow? 
...  yellow is well and truly the ultimate fashion trend when it comes to color of the year. As they do every year, Pantone met with the creative industries last December to decide on the star shade for the next 12 months. And, for the very first time, it was not one but two colours that the American color chart settled on. In 2020, in a desire to appease and a with certain need to be reassured, Classic Blue was elevated to the flagship colour rank. This year, two complementary shades, Ultimate Gray and Illuminating (yellow), have been chosen to set the pace in fashion, beauty and decor.

Countdown to Christmas 20 - Fruitcake song!

There are many songs about fruit cakes  - not all of them referring to the Christmas cake we know and love.It is really surprising to learn via Google that there are 89 listed songs with references to Christmas cake or fruit cake - not all of them complimentary.   Probably one of the most famous folk songs about Christmas cake is Miss Fogarty's  Christmas Cake (a favourite sung by The Irish Rovers).  This first recorded comical Christmas song was written by C Frank Horn in 1883 in Pennsylania, as a variation of an Irish folk song, 'Miss Mulligan's Christmas Cake' . The chorus might give you the hint that Miss Fogarty's cake was not for the faint hearted or those who suffered from a weak stomach.    Chorus : There were plums and prunes and cherries, There were citrons and raisins and cinnamon, too There was nutmeg, cloves and berries And a crust that was nailed on with glue There were caraway seeds in abundance Such that...

Christmas Countdown 15 : Christmas Tree #11 - Disposable

Plastic cups  https://littlebinsforlittlehands.com/christmas-stem-ideas-kids/ Advent Blog : Day 11 - Disposable  We are all so much more conscious about ridding our landfills and oceans of plastic waste. For Christmas, here is a way to use up some of those disposable items which seem to multiply at holiday parties and celebrations, or perhaps you have just been saving them up for a creative use.... Who would have thought coffee pods would make such stylish Christmas trees ? ...

Reflecting on Christmas Cards Past - November Project Update

  It's  so close to the end of the month, but honestly, I'm not  ready to give up yet. I've only had one day when I was too tired to give any creative attention to making a card. Some other days have been hard to fit in the time as I set myself the goal of  taking a photo of a finished little work by 5pm each day.  What  have I  found difficult?  - choosing a postage stamp. - coming up with 'different' ideas and bringing  the ideas to life quickly  -  including both stamp and stitch into the design ( occasionally) .  - compromising by using some previously stitching samples.  - no time for revision.  What have I enjoyed?  - knowing I will have 30 Christmas cards made , ready for posting by 1 December.  - sorting through my stash of beautiful Christmas stamps.  - combining media ( although that is also what I found difficult!) . - deciding who will be the recipient of each card.  - the focus of crea...
