I feel more comfortable with deep rich colors at home, but I love that I can express myself with beachy, rustic, or MMM for my resale pieces.

She will go to thrift stores with me, to "watch" me shop. She's always hoping she can figure out how my brain works, how I make the things I do. I'll admit when I was younger, it irritated me, but in growing up I've realized that we're just different (thank goodness for the growing up - I could smack my younger self quite often!). There are those people who need very specific directions (labelled colors on paint, embroidery floss, yarn), patterns for everything (clothes, picture painting, furniture building) - those who like a room in a magazine, then look for the exact objects in the picture to replicate the room. Then there are those like us - who wing it, feel it, throw it together.- I don't know that I've ever sewn, crocheted, or knitted something without changing the pattern "just a bit",. As far as color, I am really enjoying blues in every shade. It's a funny thing to look back on the colors I've favored over the years - growing up, I detested pink, loved blue. I came to dislike blue and love pink. Now I quite love both - I blame all the wonderful, colorful British Bloggers!Michelle Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13142493059955332647noreply@blogger.com
