Mellow Yellow...

Well, thats another Sunday almost over. We had a fun night last nights for M's (Chocolate Britches) birthday, the guest list consisted of my, R, M and her boyfriend and my brother...and of course Stellar and Flynn. M brought a heap of nice food over and we just ate, drunk and were merry. We watched the rugby and played on the X-Box...this would not normally thrill me but R bought home a copy of Scene It which is one of those games that you all have a controller and it is like a quiz but the questions are all related to movies...it is great fun, especially with more than 2 people as it gets quite competitive and I was getting a bit sick of being thrashed every time I played R who knows all there is to know about movies...

The rest of today has been spent going to the supermarket and being horrified at the cost of veges, then taking Stellar for a lovely walk out in the warm winter sun. Plus did a few loads of washing, mainly bedding as we have R's aunt coming back to stay again tomorrow...the spare bed has never seen so much action. Have done some ironing and now time to browse the internet before I go and get started on a painting...


The first photo is of M's birthday pav..it has mandarins on the top but I am using the yellow theme creatively and am including orange...


We used these gorgeous serviettes last night, Poppy Black gave them to me for one of my birthdays and I have been waiting for an occasion to use them...there are lots left so they will come out for another birthday...I love this wee card, it is in a frame with others so thats why the photo is so crappy...we grew up surrounded by daffodils and I always remembr Mum reciting this poem...
This bowl was made by me a while ago now...it has many colours on it, the pottery glazes are lovely. We use it to store our garlic in.
I have a lot of paintbrushes but the yellow ones are my favourites, I even have some that haven't been used yet...maybe this time...
This is what the yellow brushes paint...ok, it is a stretch for the yellow theme...but it does have yellow in it!!
This is a close up of a gorgeous wee bag R bought me for Christmas when we lived in Dublin, it is from a shop called Avoca which was my mots favorite shop in Dublin, every thing in it was Irish made...I love this wee bag with its vibrant colors and delicate work. I use it as my going out bag...I figure with so many colours in it, it goes with anything!!

So...thats the end of the week and the end of the colour challenge. It has been fun...what will we do next week?? Anyone got any ideas??
