Today started out with a wonderful breakfast outside, accompanied by a Mediterranean Granny Square in the making. I found some perfect colors in my cotton stash. I don't have that much cotton yarn but it is enough for this project. It is inspiring to work with different colors than I usually work with. A more settled, warm and less bright color theme. You can see Mediterranean in there; sand, apricot, terracotta, fuchsia bouganvilla, sky blue, creamy white... maybe even some ocean aqua will be added... The colors bring me all the way back to France and the French window shutters.
Later today I picked up a dear friend from the airport, arriving from Canada. She will visit for 2 weeks. We are catching up. Having a nice dinner of chicken skewers, cous-cous and fresh green beans. With a glass of Rosé wine. Not her but me. She is about to crash from the jet lag. I am preparing for a day at work tomorrow and if I am lucky I can finish this Granny Square this weekend.
What are you up to?

Love your granny a lot!!!
Me am envy of your holiday! The south of France is very beautiful and also the Mediterranean ... I hope you enjoy the sea and so precious that you bring you many good memories ... indeed, the case of products that you go buy the other day: Do you think that is cheap but for the salaries that we have in southern Europe is not cheap ... it happens to me when I traveled to Africa and everything seems cheap but for the people living there is not nothing. Travelling makes you see things so different ... is great! Happy holidays!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors ...
Lovely the wonderful Mediterranean colors. Hope you have a wonderful time with your friend. Nothing like a good old friend who knows you better than anyone.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you,

Thank you, Annette, for your comment on my blog! I'm very excited that you have you stopped for a while there. Enjoy the Mediterranean! You have some beautiful children!
ReplyDeleteGranny square breakfast! Perfect! It's looking good! It's lovely to use colours according to a theme like your your Mediterranean colours!
ReplyDeleteI've just made a granny trivet to go with a new plate and mug. Isn't creating fun?!
I shall look forward to seeing your Granny Stool tutorial! I've got a rather ugly round stool to cover - and I have to work out how to do the drop edging!
You are right the colours are lovely!
ReplyDeleteI went to the south of france a few years ago and I just loved it!! There were lots of painters because apparently the light is amazing for painting!
Loved you post with the window shutters!
