Hi, and welcome! You’ll likely find a hodge-podge of things on my blog:
- dessert recipes (these will often appear when I’m procrastinating in other areas of life)
- art and design projects (my style leans toward earthy, bohemian, shabby chic, rustic)
- outdoor adventure/photography
- eco-living tips
- silly rants
- …and plenty more.
About me:
I’m a 30-something who tends to (somewhat irrationally) base decisions on color and beauty (like my lawn mower, purchased because of its lovely shade of teal blue… and my last truck; I saw the most beautiful rainbow appear overhead while on a test drive – it had to be a sign). Alongside this habit, I also sometimes name things based on color. My yellow kayak is aptly named Dandelion, and a previous green car – Oscar. Finally, please ignore my overuse of parentheses, as I am prone to tangents and too lazy to form separate sentences.
I’m trying to live a more happy & simplistic life (aren’t we all?), and hope you’ll join me. Feel free to share any ideas or comments along the way, and hopefully we can learn from one another!

Hey Heather – thanks for the follow! :) Looking forward to reading your blog.
Hi Laura, thanks for stopping by! Looking forward to reading yours as well!
Thanks for following my blog, Heather. Your photos are beautiful. Your autumn is so rich with all that abundant nature all around. I am so new at this but I’m enjoying myself a lot seeing your world and those of others. I’m looking forward to following how seasons change over there where you are.
Hi Annie, glad you stopped by! It is fun to get a look into lives around the world, isn’t it? I am looking forward to seeing what you do with your pinecones – I have a bunch of them too and eventually I’ll post my project (glitter garland, perhaps).
I am pleased to meet you, Heather. Thanks for visiting my blog. :-)
Thanks for visiting mine as well! I had no idea that these wonderful photo challenges existed until seeing your post. :)
I looooove the name and header for your blog- simply beautiful! Thanks for following Clouds of Colou so I could find you!

Hi Heather, I have just come across your beautiful blog! I feel the same way you do with colour! I just love it & I’m glued to anything pretty & colourful. Quite often pastels or turquoise. :)

Thanks so much for stopping by my lifestyle blog Bmore Energy, and liking my Apple Pie recipe. There’s more where that came from as I’ve been rolling out the recipes for Thanksgiving dinner. I like your About and look forward to checking out your blog. :)
We need to get together more :) Your creativity is evident – as it used to be with me… I’ve let that side of me fall away too much lately. I love your blog.
Thanks :) We should get together more!
I too seek simplicity in the everyday and I find a peaceful and simpler life go hand in hand.
