Probably the single most influential aspect of summer for me is color. Everywhere you turn there is an explosion of the most vibrant colors.
flower petals, ice cream bars, madras shorts, patterns and colorways that you never see any other time of year
It's really no wonder people tend to feel happier in the summer; just look at all this cheerfulness around us. maybe this is something I should think about in the middles of winter. stop with the mellow hues and go straight for fuchsia or lemon yellow.
I've got the creative bug right now, but have had little success recently. Yesterday I made a pair of lounge pants that didn't fit correctly. Then I've had some ideas for a caftan of sorts to wear at the beach that isn't shaping up correctly. sigh. maybe I need to turn to some old standbys until my sewing mojo comes back.
I hope your wednesdays are going well.
