So. I love color. That's why my living room is a deep, jewel-tone purple. That's why I love illumination and embroidery; so many to choose from! Color was not part of my life for a while; the ex didn't like me wearing makeup, and he chose all the paints and stuff for the house. All muted.
Which explains, I think, my recent nuttiness. I now have about two dozens nail polishes, maybe more, in every color of the rainbow, every level of shimmer and glitter (okay, maybe not the *really* outrageous ones). And since they're relatively inexpensive (the ones I got today averaged $2), it's a solution for my need for color that I can just about afford. So when I start posting about the fab shade on my nails, please just smile indulgently and move on to the part you really want to read. :) Seeing bright colors just makes me SMILE.
Which is why, when I look at the cross-stitch that June gave me, it makes me so happy. I'll post pics of it later; it's Witches Stitches Elemental Cosmos, and no one has ever done something that big for me before. I almost cried. It was in my stash, and I planned to do it someday, but now it's hanging on my wall, looking glorious. And the purple walls make a great backdrop.
