mar-ee-golds

i admit i am a creature of habit. as much as i'd like to think i 'embrace' change, i really still freak out at the smallest venture from 'the plan' - or whatever i have happened to deem 'the plan' in my head. 

letting go of 'the plan' is the hardest thing.

i've decided that i need to start thinking outside the box. one of the things that i always ALWAYS go back to in my need for control are color palettes. these must be hard-wired in my head, because no matter what, i always seem to pick and re-pick the same ones over and over.

they are different, depending on what i'm doing. for the house, it's teal and green and orange.

for logos, it's teal and green and orange (okay, not a good illustration).

for plants, it's orange and lime green and dark burgundy and/or purple.

no matter what i do, the options seem to boil down to these. and you know what? i do try to change it up. i even bought a red geranium this spring (it had an orange glow to it, though).

sometimes, you just have to admit that your plan is obviously a good one, and it's better NOT to change :)

ha ha. happy solstice day!
