It's that time of year again where I start to crave spring, crave colour, crave more light.....I'm ok with the cosy, dark nights up until Christmas....but now, now I'm impatient for spring! This of course is pointless, spring with arrive in it's own good time and so I need to wait, like we all do!
This morning I just HAD to have some spring flowers in my home, I really NEEDED them! Now I love flowers, but I don't usually buy them as I think they can be expensive, but armed with a coupon in my pocket, I walked down to the local supermarket and picked up these. They will make me happy all week.
I'm desperately seeking out colour at the moment.....
And I'm finding it in every corner of my home.....
Teeny, tiny amounts in the garden.....I shall be watching in hope for more!
It's great waking up each day to the turquoise in my bedroom, well it feels like summer, I ignore the fact it's dark and cold outside!
And although colour is peppered throughout my home, more is needed I think....Colourful, Creative, Crafty Changes!
The bathroom has been 'spruced up', thank you Mr Bea....no more mouldy ceiling, well for a little while at least!
And I'm thinking of colours for the kitchen/diner.....I've fallen for my SMEG fridge now, (thank you for your Smeg door suggestions, I think it will end up on a wall somewhere!), and I'm rather partial to my new placemats, I love the zingy yellow/mustard, think that might be the new colour of my craft cupboard!
Yes, I hope 2014 will be the year we finally pop some more colour into our home!
I've enjoyed my visits to you this week, it's always a pleasure....I'm hoping to visit some new blogs this week too, thank you for stopping by and saying Hi!
Bye For Now,
Ada :) xxx

ReplyDeleteYou brought spring to me today!
ReplyDeleteLove your paintings, I'm hoping to create my own this year.
I am a little worried that aside from the rain we havent had winter yet, I hope we have a warm spring this year and not a cold one!
I know exactly what you mean about craving spring flowers...for me, it's those lovely blue grape hyacinths that I need to see soon. I do have some hyacinths flowering indoors at the moment, so they will have to do for now.
ReplyDeleteSo much lovely colour and brightness! Thank you for this, it is so lovely to see. Glad that your bathroom is finished and that your new fridge is installed! Off to go and get some flowers now!! xx

ReplyDeletei love having bright happy colours around me, your tulips are pretty, the tall jug will prevent them from bending all over the place.
ReplyDeleteI so agree colour brightens up both the home and inner feelings. the tulips are a sign maybe that we will have an early spring this year, so far such a mild winter, fingers crossed it stays that way
ReplyDeleteLife is all about colour! x
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the colour of the new Smeg! I can see that influencing your decorating projects this year, and probably your crochet projects too :)
ReplyDeleteI love all your pops of Spring colour. Much needed here at the moment as we wallow under black skies ... M x

I know what you mean about needing to add colour at this time of year - I'm contemplating a new crochet project! :) I might also need to go and get some flowers too.
ReplyDeleteI spy two lovely books on your table...I have the one Happy Home and would be interested in the other one...Vintage Home..is it one worth buying? I have had it on my wish list for a while but just not sure if it is worth it as I have never seen it anywhere..just on Amazon. I am in love with colour too...would love to find some Rice dishes...just love Happy HOme ..so much inspiration. Happy New Year to you
ReplyDeleteI spotted it in The Works for £6, they had a lot of new stock, lots of crafty/vintagey books

yap!!! colours are really great to cheer you up!!! Now in JK it's raining cats and dogs and it's really grey and dark! Luckily the temperatures don't drop down!!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy 2014, xxxxx Ale
Bring on the spring! One of my new year resolutions is to have more freshly cut flowers in my home.
ReplyDeleteYour vintage fabric hoops are so pretty. :)
Oh yes, colour is needed more than ever at this time of year! I love your colourful home :) I'm busy photographing the pretty things inside my home while I wait for the blossom! xx
ReplyDeleteAda, I used to be the same - as soon as January 1st came round I was impatient for spring to come. But I'm learning to love winter. as it gives us time to rest and be creative indoors. I did buy some daffodils though - I never feel guilty about buying them as they're only £1 a bunch! x
