Color Schemes

I'm hunting around for palettes for my 2026 annual project, and the way I do this is to first find a photo I like with the colors I want in it.

I then upload the picture to a palette generator to get the colors in blocks. Despite my long dislike of the color pink, this is pretty close to one of my favorite palettes of all time, it just needs some snow white and green in it.

This palette's photo is one I took myself while I was walking the dogs. I like browns, too, and I'm tempted to do an all-brown blanket because it would go well in our master bedroom. I'd just have to make it king-size, and that's a bit ambitious even for a long-time crocheter like me.

Long time ago to keep a promise I later deeply regretted making, I gave away probably the most beautiful Victorian crazy-quilted tote I've ever stitched (long story, vindictive person involved.) Although I did the right thing in keeping my promise, the whole mess was very unpleasant for me. I've kept pics of the tote and I still love the colors. The palette I generated from it is super pretty. I just don't want to be reminded of that person for an entire year.

I'm not sure which palette I'll go with, but the pink/gray/green/white is probably my favorite so far. Stay tuned to the blog to see more ideas.

Another World

Since I'm watching more Japanese dramas these days I'm able to find more hidden gems, like the drama Silent . This is a subtle, emotional romance series, and authentically portrays what it's like to deal with a major disability while trying to get on with life and fall in love. Here's the story: in high school Sou Sakura (Meguro Ren) and Tsumugi Aoba (Haruna Kawaguchi) are a young couple. They have the same quirky sense of humor, love music, and really enjoy being with each other. The fact that they're the most attractive couple in school is obvious, but the innocent and fun nature of their relationship is what makes it so perfect. They just like talking with each other. Then, quite suddenly, Sou dumps Tsumugi (by text, no less, making him a giant ass) and vanishes. Years later Tsumugi is now in a relationship with another guy, with whom she's happy, and is looking for a place where they can live together. By accident she runs into Sou, and discovers ...

Downtown Discovery

My guy and I are taking time each week to walk around the downtown areas of places we've never had time before to visit, which is how I came across a lovely fiber art supplies shop wth amazing handspun art yarns and hand-dyed embroidery threads from local artists. Fine silk embroidery thread is literally impossible to find in my part of the country, but not anymore. I also loved the amazing selection of hand-dyed flosses. I even found some tiny seed beads for my current project, and a gift for a quilter friend. While I try to thrift as much as I can for my art quilting and embroidery these days, I love the chance to support our my local weavers and dexters.

Wishing

I submitted book one of my NA series for professional review and consideration, and in return I was praised for the work and provided with excellent feedback. Now I have some changes to contemplate, and decisions to make about the future. I have a couple of different directions to take, which makes the deciding part a challenge. At times like these I wish I had a crystal ball so I could see the outcome of every choice. Wouldn't life be easier if we could do that? Image by Matthias Böckel from Pixabay
