Patterns / June

This is part of my granny square blanket that I've been working on for a while, and still am :) But it's starting to look like a blanket now, which is inspiring.

Your picture is very Japanese to me! And I'm not sure I match it very well with my blanket.
Our summers seems a bit different too, it's dry but still green, sunny and actually perfect here now, the humidity you're having sounds exhausting, I hope it improves for you soon.

Happy end of June and soon July!

Oh, just an idea; how about some request themes? I think we could use a challenge, what do you think Hiki? If anyone has a theme they want us to photograph, please let us know! To differentiate from the food, patterns and so on that we are repeating.

Pattern - May

Waking up to a rainy Monday morning makes me sigh, but finding an email from you with a lovely photo attached makes me smile :) What a beautiful wallpaper (or that's what I'm guessing it is)! I shot mine just then, hoping it will make a good combo together with your gorgeous shot.
Have a cheerful new week!!

bonus food and patterns

Hiki is on the way to Okinawa for a well deserved mini holiday and I am in Athens for work. This week is actually "pattern-week" here and I didn't notice when I got your photo, that it was a food pic, but when I had a look here I realized. And I thought, this girl is too sweet, she thought of our project and sent me the picture before going on the trip. Maybe a little bit in a hurry, but still, she did. I think it's cute. I don't mind it's another food photo. And I was just as confused, not noticing the theme was wrong :)
I think though with some good will, you can actually find both food AND patterns, in both pictures!

Have a sweet time in Okinawa! And cross your fingers that the ashes from the eruption of Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökul will clear up so I can return home tomorrow. Nothing wrong with Athens at all, but I've done what I came here to do and now I want to go home.

Patterns - March.

OK, maybe I cheated a bit this time, but when I saw this photo of yours I thought this could be a good match. Beautiful patterned stone wall from my favourite towel shop.
I really love your stone collection! Happy new week to you Ulrika :)

Patterns, February

Animals creating patterns, I love the idea. Must admit that I chose my photo after having received yours :) The theme was too good to brake.
