my one word for 2012 will be . . . 'rainbows'

Greetings all,
OK, Maxabella Loves introduced a one word resolution for the year, 'better' & that certainly was my wish for the year, to live better . . . my one word is going to be 'rainbows'.  Now, i'm no giddy bohemian dreamy hippie, however, i do wish for rainbows, what is not to love about a rainbow (unless it comes out after rain has ruined your garden party or washing on the clothes line).   
Love this rainbow at the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane!!  Beware, there are guards EVERYWHERE just dying to tell your children off, before they even think to touch anything. 
 After the joy of grocery shopping today in blistering heat, i popped into a gift store & could not believe my eyes, a full rainbow set of mixing bowls with lids!!  Hello Summer picnics.
 Special mention to the Marimekko napkins.  Last week i picked up these plates & bowls in the hope that my children (who do the dishes in school holidays) might be more inspired. 
 Fabulous example of weaving (at GOMA).  I plan a large open space in our homestead entrance, with maybe just a rug or amazing art??  This would be ace. 
Ok, so i love rainbows & after a years of running a small design business, exposed to glorious colours, patterns & textiles, i'm about to put it all on hold & to good use . . . to build a homestead & start a farm for my family.  Trust me, i'll be clutching at rainbows as i deal with real estate agents, architects, tradesmen & hardwarestore-sales-staff-rolling-their-eyes-at-me as i ask a million questions.  I love that it will be my full time job, especially the decorating part & styling each room!! 
Nothing can dull the colour i see, the hope & dreams for a better life for my family.  My husband will be home from war in 6 months, his 5th & final war; we have 4 happy, healthy & hilarious children; we want space & a simple life - best of all, we know how to make it happen & it's happening, yahoo!!  I have more properties to view & we've put our Darwin apartment on the market too.  This is HUGE.  I'm going to love love love 2012. 
Bring on the rainbows i say, to our bright & colourful future.  OMG, this is my 499th post, rainbows to you all in blogland too.  Love Posie
