Modern Mood Quilt Week 2 ~ Get Your Mood On

What color am I today? 

Today's task is to write down my feelings based on the facts of the day and pick colors based on the mood color chart that I created in week 1.

Today's feelings
happy
elated
surreal
peaceful
safe

Facts of the day
Finished the embroidery t shirt project for the ladies in the department that I work with.
I'm jamming to some funky 70's music while I'm sewing.
No traffic on the way home from work.
I picked up some beautiful fabric at Joann's on sale!
Everyone was in a cheerful mood in my home.

One of the key points that Sherri points out in her blog is...
(and I quote)

"It’s OK to refine your chart, since you will probably discover new or shifting relationships between your emotions and color as you work through this process. You can also work in reverse order. Choose the colors you are intuitively drawn to that day. Nothing is set in stone."

Now that's my kind of woman....being flexible and thinking outside the box is the answer to so many of life's challenges.  So with that in mind I am revising my chart so that it is more inclusive. 
Here's my updated chart.

  • BLACK: strength, bold, daring, confident, power/positive
  • GREY: dull, dismal, classic/negative
  • GOLD: regal/positive
  • LIME GREEN: frazzled/negative
  • GREEN: abundance, fruitful/positive
  • BLUE-GREEN: wishy-washy, unstable, psychadelic/negative
  • BLUE: calming, cool/positive or negative
  • DARK-BLUE: bold, commanding, decisive/positive
  • WHITE: simplicity, carefree/neither positive or negative
  • BROWN: comforting, nostalgic, nuturing, grounded/positive
  • BRONZE: strength/positive
  • YELLOW: joyful/positive
  • ORANGE: warm, cozy, comfortable/positive
  • RED: passionately powerful, aggressive, rage/both positive & negative
  • PINK: fantasy, dreamy, girlee (femine) /positive
  • PURPLE: royalty, energy/positive

  • So my colors for today are:
    BROWN
    YELLOW
    ORANGE

    Stay tuned for week three....
