Hopefully your eyeballs are coping with the burst of color in this space this week. Since I am a mother, I gave myself permission to post three photos rather than two. This little marinade of hues invaded my home this weekend because quite frankly it has been snowing and freezing most of this week and only today the sun came out for five minutes. I decided to indulge my hippie soul and bought every color of the rainbow. I went all out to ensure that spring does make an appearance in this space - even if it is purchased and resides on my dining room table :)
I needed a break from my granny square blanket and decided one of my chairs absolutely requires a pillow similar to this one here. The instructions can be found at Attic 24 on the left hand side of the home page. I start Uni courses next week so I am bracing myself for all around stress and chaos. Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend - I am running the Mother's Day 10 km race tomorrow to celebrate motherhood and raise some much needed cash for the neonatal intensive care units here in Calgary.

Happy Mother's Day to you, too!
Wishing you a Fine and Happy Mum's Day! the photos are indeed a gorgeous riot of colour!
Happy Mother's Day Raina. Hope the race went well and the weather was ok for you - wouldn't fancy running in snow! Loving the pillow.
Happy Mother's Day!!! Hope the race was enjoyable with nice snacks along the way :)
The riot of color is GORGEOUS and inspiring ~ as is the pillow you are making.
BTW did you know that Joni Mitchell sang about Topanga Canyon (Ladies of the Canyon) - I live in Hippie central down here - LOL
Gorgeous.
LOVE all color, Raina! Hope you had a wonderful weekend... and had fun at the race! :o) What yarn are you using for the grannies? Happy Days, my friend ((HUGS))
Loving the colour bursts!! I could do with some here, :) No snow, but it's been pretty grey and miserable.
Hope the run went well. :)
Happy mothers day and I love that colour! Good luck in the uni work and the ensuing chaos, which is here all the time for me!!!
Wow -- school, running, crochet...you have a LOT going on. And beautiful pictures to boot! I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!
oh how I love those colours! So bright and happy!
Hope you had a lovely day (and a great run!) yestereday :)
I hope the sun stays out a little longer for you this week. Hope school is easy peasy, low stress (we can always hope, eh?!).
Happy belated Mama's day!
What is WITH this weather? I just about get my geraniums in the pots, and the temperature plunges down to Winter again. I am so not down with that! Hope you had a fabulous Mother's Day!
It's cold in Maine too (we nearly froze to death at the NH Sheep and Wool Festival last weekend - but as someone said once, there's no bad weather, just wrong clothes).
Hope the race went well.
Gorgeous photos! Hot colors warm you up.
These photos are wonderful. Happy Mama's Day to you! I think it's awesome that you did the 10K as well and for a great cause (Cass was in the NICU for his first 5 days). Kudos!
Ooh lovely - I feel quite refreshed after that burst of colour! Hope that the race went well and that the start of uni is exciting even if a little chaotic
your pictures are amazing and so is your crocheting very very nice
