The Creative Crafting Summer Blog Tour

Yay! The Creative Crafting Summer Blog Tour starts today.  Hop on board  and visit a different creative blog a day during August.  Sharon from The Old Button is kicking things off, so why not go and say hello?  I'm so excited to be one of the scheduled stops.  Look out for my post on 10th August.  Take a look here for all the other stops on the tour.

By the way, there are still a few stops available, so if you have a creative blog and you'd like to take part then get in touch: thecrystallady (at) creative-crafting (dot) com.

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?
