Colour Inspiration - Pink and Aqua

I am loving everything aqua at the moment, from greens with the slightest hint of blue, to deep teal, to blues with the slightest hint of green. And when coupled with pink it's even better.

What's your latest colour crush?

Pretty Things

A few weeks ago we went to the South Downs and on the way home stopped of at Winchester.  It's a pretty little city best known for its Cathedral.  On the day we visited there was a market in the city centre, where I saw this lovely embroidered bedspread.  There were a lot of other embroidered items on the stall, but restless kids meant that I didn't have a lot of time for photographs.





This wonderful colourful book cover in a museum shop also caught my eye:

Colour Inspiration - Picture Postcard Summer's Day

Have you ever looked up at some trees on a summery day and thought how pretty the green leaves looked against the lovely sky blue and cotton wool clouds?  Or just how perfect the typical view of the English countryside, with its rolling green hills occasionally interrupted by a sea of yellow oil seed rape, looks in the summer?


So I thought that those colours would work perfectly together in a crochet or fabric project.  As it happens I have those very colours sitting in my yarn stash.  Don't they look great together?


The only thing missing is a project to use them in.  I can't think what to make!  Any suggestions?
