So, I want to paint my studio blue but I can't make up my mind which blue I want it to be. I really feel comfortable surrounded by the colour blue; it's cool and soothing.  I want a blue with a little green in it though to give it some warmth and energy (especially in the winter when it's cold and grey outside).

I've been picking up paint chips whenever we're at Canadian Tire and sticking them up on the wall to see what I like. They look so different at home than they do in the racks at the store. I was thinking as I put up today's collection of chips that I liked the one I already had in the bottom right the best so far and then discovered I'd picked it up a second time. This might be the colour I'm looking for.

I'm planning white accents to go with the blue walls. All the trim in the room is white already and my clock is made up of a bunch of little white picture frames (you can just see it in the top of the picture). I'm going to paint the legs of my sewing table white and leave the top plain wood (hides scratches better) and change the frame on my cork board (or maybe cover the whole thing with white fabric, not sure yet).

This is the little blanket Jane got me started on to learn crochet. I've been working on it pretty steadily for the past while; it's been my portable project since I finished Rob's socks. But now, with nine squares done and eleven to go, I've run out of yarn and have to wait until I can get some more.

Can you have a nice horrid day? Today feels like it.

We haven't seen the sun all day and I don't think anything outside has been dry since yesterday but everything smells so fresh and earthy. There is no wind and the rain is more like a lazy mist that you run into. It is just cool enough to make you walk briskly and wear a cute hat.

Work was uneventful but the boss left early and the cafe gave us our tea for free at afternoon break.

The house is chilly but that just makes my cocoa taste better.

And I want to play with wool. Almost crave it really. I'm working on a little crochet right now but I'm still learning so it goes slowly. I think I need to start some knitting or maybe some spinning. Something earthy and rhythmic would be just right today. I'm going to go see what's in my stash.
