This is Orange.......This is......!

      Yep! It's orange! Well, it's Island Batik Orange Fabric by fabricfreak43 to be exact! She knows her colors!...Me, on the other hand, I'm a little wishy washy about calling colors by their names. But she and I were on the same page about something....This!

      My new Salmon Orange Fingerless Gloves...The yarn packaging kept saying that this color was orange. But when I looked at it, I saw Salmon...Okay, I could see how someone could call them orange...kinda! But to me...there definitely was some Salmon hues. {Pronounced "Sam-mon"...I'm from Georgia people! LOL}
     So I used both colors in my description...And then yesterday I got a "convo" from her on Etsy, telling me that she put my new fingerless gloves in her treasury. And what was the theme of the Treasury?! 
     Sultry Salmon!!

       Look at all those beautiful "SALMON" colored items!! :-) I guess my color-picker is not as 'Off' as I thought it was!!...By the way, there are some gorgeous items in this treasury too! Look at these Melon, Coral Gold Hoop Earrings, glass globes by adornyou.

     And yes! I did see that she called them 'Coral'. Is that Salmon....or coral?! ^_^ Maybe my color-picker isn't exactly working as it should after all!
      Well, anyway! No matter what color we call them, they're really pretty!!
   Now, I know some of you won't believe this...because even I would think this was 'made up' if I didn't know the truth! But yesterday, before I got this Treasury notice, I crocheted something out of some leftover yarn.
     It was leftover yarn from......these same fingerless gloves!! LOL I made a scarf!

      A simple Salmon Orange colored Scarf!! ^_^

      I was inspired to give it a little twist, and sew the ends together, by looking at a scarf Silke, from the blog Metamorphosis, made a few days ago.

       Do you believe that?! :-) After I finished it, I went online to check out my shop and there was the Treasury!! Funny how things like that happen!
     The truth is, it happens to me quite a bit, because...and you may not believe this either (but it's true)...I don't plan out my blogs...AT ALL! Most times things just come into my head in the morning; or I'm looking around Etsy or your blogs at night, and I get inspired to do something! 
     There have been times when so much was happening that I spared you by making it more than one day's post!!...Like today! :-)) I also got something else to talk to you about. Something from last night...But I'll 'spare you'!! I'll show it to you tomorrow!! ^_^
    In the meantime, 'Spare me' a little indulgence with my poem today. I wrote it this morning when I looked at one of the comments below from yesterday's post. You'll figure out pretty quick who it was!! LOL
    Have a good day everybody!! Make it Orange....with just a hint of Salmon! :-)


Facing 50 With Humour!

"Facing50", I just realized
you're a rhymer, just like me!
At your blog I'm always laughing.
Now I'll look for poetry!

As a 50 (something) lifer,
humour has to be a goal!
If you can't laugh at yourself
you just go gray and wait for old.

Blogging at your aging
gives your mind something to do.
But it's nice to have a partner
you can laugh at sometimes too!
(And, by the way, Facing50Blog.com, I spelled humour with a "U" just for you!! LOL)
