Day #18 of the 30-Day Colour Challenge!

Did a bit of reading with my kids today. It’s such an amazing moment, seeing that light in their eyes when they figure out that those sounds actually mean something when put together. You can almost hear the ‘click’ of the pieces falling into place in their tiny little heads.

Speaking of tiny little heads, this bird has to be the cutest little thing ever. And such lovely colours!

I decided to make a pair of X-factors. I don’t think I’ve made a pair in a really long time, not since I fell in love with my angel wings.

Day #18 done!

Day #17 of the 30-Day Colour Challenge!

Since this is the second half of the challenge, I’m trying to make conscious choices to pick tougher palettes. It’s so easy to get comfortable with the ones with blues and greens. So here’s a really pretty palette, with colours I don’t use too often.

This evening, a clear sunny sky split open and rained buckets down on us. But I still managed to get a pretty decent photo.

Day #17 done! 🙂

Day #13 of the 30-Day Colour Challenge!

Today was a great day! I watched a beautiful documentary – The World Before Her. Then I met two of my lovelies and had a great evening with them. Throw in cold coffee and rain, and you’ll understand why it was one of the nicest days I’ve had in a while.

I’m totally in love with Abby Hook’s tutorials. Today I tried her Vine earrings, and it was a mini disaster. Probably because I’m still using 24 gauge wire instead of the 28 gauge that the tutorial calls for. It just did not work out. But it inspired me to get a little crazy and have fun with wire 🙂

The loops are all weird, and the wire wrapping on the leaf is messy – I’m guessing because of the gauge. The bead dangles don’t sit too well. It’s all strange. But it’s okay.

Day #13 done!
