Color Around Here

Beeper's Strip of Color
Oil Crayon Rainbow
String Weaving
(A Wonky) Quilt Made for My Mum
People Rally
Perler Bead Circles
Perler Bead Squares
Lots of color going on around here lately.  Last weekend we found a large set of perler beads (Beeper calls them "melty beads") at the thrift store for $1.25, and new designs have been showing up daily.  Not sure what we are going to do with all the circles and squares (please share your ideas--tiny frames?  coasters with half-assed coverage?), but I am happy to see new patterns emerge daily.  And the throw--I actually made that for my mum for Christmas, from that Anna Maria Horner fat quarter stack I bought ages ago and intended for a quilt for our bed, but--well, it just found its way into a little wonky throw because I thought my mum might like all that color to curl up under (and let's be honest, I could not stand the silent reproofs that lovely stack of fabrics gave me every time I looked its way).  Oh, and the weaving set was an impulse Christmas gift for Beeper (bought it from Jack Be Nimble's brilliant little Etsy shop), one I second-guessed after buying, thinking he would never be able to slow down his pinball-energy long enough to weave a single row, or even have the interest--yep, I was wrong.  
What kind of color are you finding in your home this week?

A Little Color: Guerilla Art

Phone Booth ala Afghan: by Knit the City
The world needs more guerilla art, don't you think?  It just makes me happy when I think about coming across any of these little numbers.  I think I may need to start a guerilla art movement of my own some day because you should be the change you want to see in the world and all that.   Whatever the case, enjoy the color of street rebellion...

A Little Color: Washed Out

Locale: Dreamy City via Beach Bungalow 8
I am in the mood for spring and the faded colors of spring--if only spring would really come to Minnesota and decide to stay with us.  In the meantime, a handful of washed out color is all I got...

A Little Color: Rainbow Connection

In belated honor of St Patty and all that, thought I would do a little rainbow for your color this week.  Also, has anyone noticed how rainbows are suddenly the new black?
