Day 16

Prompt 16
"You, whose day it is, get out your rainbow colors and make it beautiful."
Traditional Nootka song

Show me colour in your life today

It's cold here in Kuwait - bitter cold !! The winds have shifted and are now blowing in from Iran . With the cold comes a lethargy, people bundled up, heads down and with a new source for complaint. Me I don't mind the cold ( well it's not as bad as elsewhere on the planet - let's face it!!! ) I love to wear my layers, beats getting out the flab in a bikini! I also get to flaunt my colourful collection of scarfs and pashminas as I have journalled above a splash of colour gives me an instant lift.
The little nook at home where I create and work is full of colour it's my place in the home and it's full of textiles and textures spanning the entire rainbow palette sitting here is a tonic initself- I often find my kids drawn to it too, to play their games or read their books so obviously like me they have inheritied the " rainbow gene "!!!!

Those colours look so cosy, no wonder the children are drawn to your creating nook. I can just see myself snuggled up on those cushions with a good book.
Yours photos always tell a story, I just enjoy seeing them so much :)
