Oh hey!

So two things have brought me back to Blogland. First and foremost, because I am participating once again in the Summer of Color event and need to share my weekly projects with you, my gentle readers, and the other participants. Second, because I have discovered the blogger app. Oh my. I may actually keep up with posting! This could be dangerous...

But, returning to the Summer of Color...this year's twist is that the weekly color schemes will be chosen via pole by the participating artists. Even though this week's colors are by far one of my favorite combinations and one I use frequently (oh, did I mention it is also the scheme in my kitchen??), I actually did not vote for it. I opted to go for other colors that I like but don't often use--hoping to stretch my creative wings.

My wings will have to wait...lol...not that I'm complaining...its turquoise and citron green...did I mention I love this color scheme?? 

As I mentioned, these are the colors in my kitchen...I have vintage glassware and dishes from the 60s sporting turquoise, blue and citron green daisy flowers.

Making something for my kitchen was not my original plan, but when the Muses AND the universe are speaking, you really should listen...a few days ago while sitting in front of the tube, watching the Hawks game (really, it was two games for the price of one...glad I went to bed early...) I was flipping through my Pinterest crochet board to find something to work on and saw these cool flowers:

As it just so happens, my scrap stash of yarn included several small balls in turquoise, citron green, teal...imagine that. After finagling the stitches to accommodate the different weights of yarn I got a nice looking flower:

Thanks to the blogger app, I was able to get it posted  before the week ended!! Now I just need to figure out how to add links...
