The Blush List - The Colors of Happiness

Knitting // Too bad this beautiful vintage bird sweater sold, but I am still very inspired by the pattern and pretty color combination.
Crochet // A lovely crochet blanket and beautiful space for crafting by Super Ninon.
Etsy// Such a sweet calendar by Gingiber
Style // I love how these unexpected colors work together. Found via All This Happiness
Art // A cute and cozy animated illustration by Hello Heute to further fuel my GIF obsession.
Food //  Cherry-vanilla layer cake recipe via Sprinkle Bakes. Wouldn't this be a  sweet cake for Valentine's day?

I have been uncharacteristically happy this week and all of these bright and bubbly colors just pushed me over the edge! I am so thankful to have the time to spend on my knitting and my blog during Christmas break. It is truly my passion and I try to cherish every moment I get to spend doing what I love. Plus, I received emails this week from lovely readers that left me sniffling and pushing away happy tears in the checkout line at the grocery store. It is so hard for me to believe that I could inspire anyone, because it is really you who inspire me. :)

I hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday!

  1. I am in love with that cake slice! I had no idea two such colors could go so well together. & I would kill for a crafting space like that in the second picture - it's to die for! (sorry for the pun..!)

  2. That sweater! Oh, I love it so. You have such an eye for color, I just love when you put together colorful inspiration posts. (It is especially nice in these colder months. I find a pop of color is enough to put a smile on my face and warm me right up). Enjoy every last minute of your winter break!
