I’m not an official member of Lolly’s Project Spectrum, but I do like taking pictures, so . . . here are some yellows and oranges from around the house.

These are (1) My bed, with its orange comforter cover, and the yellow walls (which are more gold than the somewhat beige they photographed. (2) My calendar for the month of April, on my yellow wall. (3) My goldish-suede tote bag, which seems to have decided to live on this bench by my spinning wheel, rather than in the closet.

These are (1) Mom’s sunshine pillow in the living room. (2) My favorite picture of me and Katy–my yellow shirt matched her amber eyes, the frame is the perfect orange-gold . . . (3) Our yellow family room furniture, whcih really IS yellow, though it photographed kind of beige, too.

These are: (1) Chappy’s toy basket, which seems to be overflowing with bright, sunny colors, (2) a yellow pitcher I painted and which sits on top of the refrigerator, and (3) well, bananas and oranges–can’t get more yellow/orange than that!

Speaking of tops of refrigerators, Kate wanted to see what was in that cabinet? Well, nothing! We emptied it out last May when we had the cabinets refaced, and never bothered to put anything back in!

Now, I’m on color option #3 for my Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool. My first choice was discontinued, my second choice, it turns out, was backordered, and so I went with choice number three . . . picked out of one of only 4 shades that they actually had in sufficient quantity–color #35, “Ocean.” Now, this one I haven’t seen in person, so . . . fingers crossed!
