Calendar Tuesday # 11
It’s November 1st….time again for
Calendar Tuesday, which only happens on the first Tuesday of each month.
Let's begin with Violent Veg:
Another coleslaw!"
Moving on to the Country Home Ideas calendar:
And now for the Suzy Toronto November page:
Always Color OUTSIDE the
Lines
As a child, I was taught
to always paint the sky blue and the grass green.
I was told to be very
careful and stay inside the lines.
Life is too full of
possibilities to conform to unimportant rules that in the end don’t matter.
Rules like these stifle
our creativity and halt our progress toward achieving our full potential.
Discard those dictates
that defined your old parameters, and reach for the colours you’ve never tried.
Splash violet, melon,
and chartreuse all over your work…and splatter it on the floor if the spirit so
moves you.
For now is the time to
embrace your creativity.
Break the rules…and
whatever you do, don’t worry about staying inside the lines.

My whole life after childhood has consisted of breaking rules & I've had a ball!!
ReplyDeletefishducky; I tend to follow the rules unless I can see a clear reason why I shouldn't.
DeleteI have lines...demarcation lines...but they're not set in concrete and can be movable if the need arises.
ReplyDeleteLee; my lines are movable too, as circumstances dictate.
DeleteI was never good at colouring inside the lines, and these days a lack of fine motor control (and character) mean that it isn't really achievable. Nice to get permission too.
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; I tried to stay inside the lines, I'm a bit of a neat freak, but I used whatever colours I wanted. Green skies, red grass, black sun.
DeleteAnyhow rules are to be bent, not broken.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
peppylady (Dora); I see rules as a guideline, to be followed if it seems the right thing to do, to be ignored if something seems wrong.
DeleteBeing a peculiar perfectionist, I stayed inside the lines instinctively. Some people build their own prisons ...
ReplyDeleteS.J.Qualls; mine is a similar prison, I'm a bit of a neat freak, so coloured inside the lines, but chose my own colour schemes.
DeleteIt is a good sentiment to paint outside the lines, but not one I follow.
ReplyDeleteAndrew; you break rules a different way?
DeleteI suppose we all break rules at times.
DeleteAlways do things outside the box, no matter what it is.
ReplyDeleteSusan Kane; some things outside the box, but not every thing, not always. I'm not that free spirited.
DeleteI never was able to stay within the lines. Good to know now it doesn't matter anymore. :)
ReplyDeleteThoughts in Progress
and MC Book Tours
Mason Canyon; I always stayed between the lines, I think I was afraid not to.
DeleteI can't think what I used to do, paint in our out!
ReplyDeleteMargaret-whiteangel; I always coloured inside the lines, but I chose my own colours.
DeleteStaying inside the lines builds hand/eye coordination...however, once achieved, scribble where ever you like.
ReplyDeleteonly slightly confused; you make a good point, hand-eye coordination is so important.
DeleteYou have wonderful calendars and I love Suzy's painting tip. Be adventurous in all you do.
ReplyDeleteMimsie; thank you, I like Suzy Toronto's point of view too, even though I'm not as adventurous as she is. I have a new Suzy Toronto for next year.
DeleteLove the last one- of course, it is my motto...always color outside the lines. Have a super weekend!
