Color Wise

How have you been? It feels like days and days since I sat down to post. I apologize for that. To get back in your good graces, I'm giving you some shots of color from the last several days.  First off, a gorgeous giant hibiscus.  These are putting on extravagant displays at the Zoo right now.
The colors are reminiscent of my new stack of fabrics.  Joel Dewberry's Heirloom is even better in real life.  Luscious plums and raspberries with just enough gold to set them off.
A trip to the plant nursery this morning confirmed these colors for my palette. You know how I feel about those nudges from nature. Time to jump in and start cutting and sewing.
And then there's this pop of color.  A new watering jug has somehow ended up on the list of Needed Things.  Funny how that works.  Unfortunately, that's all the color I have time to share for now.

I can smell the ribs smoking in the backyard.  Coleslaw and cucumber salad need to be made yet.  Gluten-free Devil's Food Cake Cupcakes are fresh out of the oven.  It's going to be a good dinner tonight.

  2. I'm laughing, because I've got a flower photo to match my stack of Heirloom purples for a blog post. I'm just waiting to get some carrots..
    Your hibiscus and coleus photos encompasses the whole range beautifully!! I agree Heirloom is even better in real life, rich colours and amazing patterns. I love the stack of watering jugs, there really is inspiration everywhere!! Your dinner description is making my mouth water!!
