A few new pics taken last week at my sister’s home. The lilac’s are heavenly!! I’ll be shifting over to my summer blog schedule shortly and will post new stuff as it pops up (just not as frequently as this winter tho) 
) I always seem to pick up again after Labour Day. Wishing you a wonderful & relaxing summer!!
“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.” ~John Lubbock

Flip Flop Shower Curtain to Color Palettes

Beautiful FLIP FLOP shower curtain
While searching the net for unique, colourful shower curtains today, I came across the FLIP FLOP one shown above and I immediately fell in love with it!! Fresh colours, tropical, light and whimsical at the same time. I believe it was the choice of colours used in the curtain that tickled my fancy overall, which lead me to explore colour palettes.

The fun application I found at CSS Drive allows you to upload an image from your computer or link to a URL and it will prepare a few palettes that you can then choose specific colours from along with their Hex codes. Pretty cool!
I’m back to working on some bozzetto’s, and hope to upload them shortly. And I feel a series starting to percolate too! Thanks to everyone who left comments on the blog recently, they are very much appreciated!!
