little rainbow bursts everywhere i look

Greetings all,
I love colour in my life & clearly it steers my shopping habits - i have a taste for colour in the craft supplies i buy.  There are little rainbow busts of colour everywhere i look in my studio.
 I think this is my full collection of washi tape.
 Deal of the year, yes, already . . . festive rainbow paper chain, $1 from Typo, hell yeah!!
 Colourful pins in a Lark knitted toadstool.
 Love some colourful coordinating bias detail.
 Fabric covered buttons, a huge success for my business!!
 So easy to stitch up a rainbow.
 Subtle colours on pretty woven ribbons.
 Hand painted colourful knitting needle ends.
 Ever need an excuse to buy more coloured twine??
 Disturbing??  Serial killer sewing maniac!!
 All happy rainbows in my studio prison - yes - that's the attractive grill which was put up after the burglary.  Amazing what $1 in festive rainbow paperchains can do to make it better.
Add some colour to your life, it's so easy & more often than not, tasteful!!  Oh imagine what i'll do after living in Army Housing & not being able to paint a wall for like 15 years, when we build our own home??  Fear not, i'm a blue & white girl, the house will be tame, you can always add colour with accessories like cushions, art & vases. 
Today i'm back at Shop Handmade, very excited, i know EXCITED to go back to work, but it's only a couple of days in the Shop for me these school holidays (while my husband does the dutiful Tuesday movie trips with the children) until school goes back on 7th & 8th of February!!
Speaking of movies, if you want some free tickets, Tangled giveaway still going
!!  The lucky 10 IKEA lifestyle book giveaway winners of the book to be announced a.s.a.p.  Love Posie

Colour is essential in anyone's world, how dull would we be if it was monocromatic. Colours are happiness and I reckon that suits you, a happy posie..??

I can't sew to save myself, but the pictures of your studio and the riot of colour contained therein made me very envious. What a beautiful and inspiring place to work.

Love the splash of colour at your house:) These walls here are a coffee colour - ick - I much prefer white and if I was going to be here longer I would have painted at east one room for photos:)

Have fun back at work.
