Blue is just one of those colors.

I love blues, but mostly think of myself as a pink person. I have a lot of turquoise jewelry, and even a turquoise and white Honda 50 scooter… and a ton of blue jean and chambray shirts. An blue really seems to pair well with my iron gray Woolamina. But for some reason…. they hang there. A huge collection of them.

I think I may have to change that….

For those of you new to this blog …I am involved in a 100-Day Challenge, put on by Wool& — Same dress. 100 days. (And yes, you can wash it!) Part of my reasons for deciding to do this was to simplify my life, especially with my lifestyle.

What’s in store today:

Snow and ice on the Southern Washington Coast. Crazy — snow at the beach. But it happens. I was happy not to have to be out on the road today.

So I pretty much stayed inside today.

I practiced my dance sequences, and made some videos — so I could see how I was progressing. This was the second week… and the group get together is tomorrow — online, of course.

You can check out my Blog Page, and watch me go from total beginner to Appalachian Flatfooting and Clogging Queen. It’s my covid skill challenge I gave myself — learn new things! I Only post once a week, so I’ll do my post with the videos tomorrow!!

Here’s what I came up with for today!

Bracelett was half off at Goodwill — color of the week… which made it $1.49. I love all the blue beads paired with browns.. really sets them off. One big long stretchy coil.

Earrings are sterling with bright blue Kingman turquoise.

This lovely blue sweater is a relatively new find — Ann Taylor Loft… but I found it at Goodwill for about $7. Perfect condition. And I love the little lace pattern.

As a knitter, I really appreciate nice lace openwork.

Speaking of knitting… here is a shameless plug: Check out my knitting page — Gypsywagonknits.com – and pick up some free patterns.

I am also on Ravelry — link on the GWK page!

These are my “dress up” glasses. I kept them in a case for most of the year. And I realized that I have hardly worn them at all. Time to change that mindset!

I get My Glasses online from Zenni Optical. These were under $40 for bifocals.

My other specs

Thanks for joining me for my post on blue — which, by the way, was one of the best albums ever. More to come — so check back often!
