Lest you think things are getting a bit maudlin in this corner of the internet, fret not. Color is still alive and well in my world. I realized I have a bit of an obsession for Le Creuset pots. I have quite a few and since I bristle at conformity I never really buy them in the same color - I prefer a rainbow. I purchased the new purple one today and decided they all look rather jolly all together like that. Le Creuset, in my opinion, are the best pots one can own. I do everything in mine, including baking my bread. I purchased the oval one hoping I can make my Tartine bread in a batard shape rather than the boule. I find round bread hard to slice.
I am certain you noticed that little bit of crochet. I had this fabulous, colorful yarn (I think it is Debbie Bliss or something like that), the only balls that survived my de-cluttering a while back. I decided to just make random granny squares and started piecing them together. Not certain what to make - perhaps a fun, colorful pillow. Granny squares are soothing to crochet - there is simply no agenda, just stitches coming together.
Happy weekend all.

i have the reproduction Fiesta Ware for dishes all different colors....love the crocheted granny squares, so bright & fun....my color sense usually gravitates toward the darker shades but it's good to have a few brights around....

how cheery!
i love the le crueset rainbows and your bright and random granny squares.
i have to admit i am a little jealous of your L.C. collection, not owning any myself. But i take pleasure in using my mother's when i go to visit.
{Excuse me while I pick myself off of the floor.}
OhMyGosh. You're just randomly putting those colors together? I was studying the colors and noticing the combinations before I even read your words. They're gorgeous Raina. Absolutely stunning. "I am certain you noticed that little bit of crochet." -- that comment cracked me up. Notice? I Swooned. And now I'm going to go pin. If I can detach myself from the paper bag that is keeping me from hyperventilating.
And Le Crueset? I join you in your obsession. Yours are all so beautiful together. I wasn't sure I liked having mine in different colors, but now you've made me want more colors.
You rock Raina!
Ok. It's me again. I can't leave your beautiful pictures.
Not that I'm stalking you or anything.
Just really wanted to add that I love the shape of that little aquaish pan on the back-side of the stack. I haven't seen those before but now, I'll bet I'll see them everywhere! ;-)
Hi Raina, I just used one of your pictures and linked both to your blog and your Flickr photostream. If this is not OK please let me know. I love your pictures, your sense of colour.
I understand what you felt in your last post, my mother has done the same thing. It was rather how I felt when we cremated Mr. Puffy and they handed me a little box in exchange for my beloved pet. I can't bare to look at it and keep in far back in a cupboard.
But I can see you are feeling more chipper ~ yes a rainbow of color is best :)
I just love the colours! Divine!
A rainbow of Le Creuset pots--I love that! And I especially love your new purple pot, Raina! A Le Creuset pot is on my Christmas wish-list this year. I wan red or turquoise! ;o) Your crochet in progress is lovely... I love the colors your using, and the dark aqua pulling it all together. Hope you had a good time away on the Island all in all... Happy Days, my friend ((HUGS))
Great color!!! Especially for a foggy Maine morning here. Yes, those pots are great.
Your photos in the previous post are stunning.
Made my first sour dough loaf. Okay, not great. Next time I will let the sponge proof longer, might help the taste.
Lovely colors! They pop right off the page :-) I found you from a link on Little Jenny Wren's blog, and glad I came to visit.
Hope Spring finds you soon.

Love these photos.
wow, such beautiful bright photos! love those crochet squares.
I'm so happy to find someone just as obsessed with color as me. I like my color bold, too! My Le Creuset pots were a gift, and I adore them, but if I had purchased them myself, I never could have settled for just one color!
I love the colors in your corner! Le Creuset Pots are my favorite. I have one in lime green.
I was visiting Valeries's blog and the name of your blog caught my eye! I just added you to goole reader to follow you. A wonderful blog you have. xo
Oh the colors are so vibrant and bright! Definitely a lift to my dull midnight.
I used to make friendship bracelets using the colored yarn! x
love la creuset...don't own a one though!
I just got the 3.5 qt cassis oval dutch oven too! Unlike you, it's my first. Your post has inspired me to collect a rainbow too... post more pictures of you Le Creuset please :)
The pots are adorable. Your shots came out very good, love the color!
The prettiest post I've seen in awhile...
Everything bends to white...
Thank you!

Made my way here via your guest post on victoria's blog.
