Wanderlust & Loosely Defined Perameters

I love it when challenges are loosely defined.  Having been an only child 'til I was eight years old I pretty much figured I owned the world and was free to wander about in it without boundaries.  At eight, there was no fear. Exploring.  That's what my friends and I called it.  I had the wanderlust...still do.  So when challenges are offered with specific themes I feel fenced in.  Every Inchie Monday offers specific themes...well they're open to interpretation...but...  (There may have been a period there).

Somehow, I don't feel fenced in with palettes; probably because there is usually more than one color offered.  I take color anyway I can get it.  Perhaps I'm discovering that I am trending toward the visual as opposed to the abstract.  At any rate, I love this month's palette challenge colors.  I made a journal quilt for my last week's project and then an eyeglass case out of the leftovers.

And then I managed to catch the cooties...you know...the little tickle in the throat...the gentle cough cough...and then KABOOM!...the serious cold hits!  I haven't done a thing since.  I think tomorrow will be catch up day now that I'm feeling a little better!
