I decided to participate in the latest Brenda Photo Challenge. The subject is ORANGE, picked by the current challenge hostess, Morning Coffee.
Even though we live in “Big Orange Country” for the University of Tennessee, we don’t decorate with orange. It is a scarce color here around the cottage, but I managed to find a few things.
Natural Orange - These marigolds line the flowerbed near to the garage. Summer is not complete without marigolds to cheer you!

Handmade Orange - A couple of years ago, I taught myself how to do needlepunch with this first project. I couldn’t resist the hopping bunny design, and it is cheerfully complimented with a bright background of orange bali fabric.
Vintage Orange - Little antique alphabet blocks come in handy for all kinds of impromptu signs!
I adore marigolds - I love their colors and their scent. And what a great photograph you've taken of them!
ReplyDeleteYour needlepoint work is quite nice, as well. Very pretty. And how clever to use the alphabet blocks to spell out "orange". You must have a top-notch imagination! I love it.
This is my first week participating in the challenge. I'm hoping it'll teach me to "think outside the box" a little bit more because apparently, I have a problem with that. lol

LOVE your orange!! You did a terrific job!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Kari! I don't think it is as much imagination as it is insanity, LOL! I was knocking my brain trying to think of what to feature and the blocks were a nice bail-out!
ReplyDeleteSuper challenge photos! I love marigolds too, they're always such happy little flowers. The idea with the blocks is SO imaginative! Thanks for joining us!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sally! It is great fun to go around and see the variety!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brenda! The blocks were just my desperation kicking in, LOL. This was great fun and I would like to participate again! I found out about it from Donna in TX.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love that needlepunch rabbit... so sweet and don't you know that marigolds keep those little critters at bay? So they say. Love your creativity with the blocks!
ReplyDeleteI have a fondness for rabbits, and it was appropriate for the rabbit design to motivate me into learning needlepunch. Right now, I have that picture on the entry table near the front door.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, we keep a few marigolds around the flowerbeds so that the bunnies don't munch on everything in sight, LOL.
A bit of desperation and inspiration with the blocks! Thank you so much for visiting!
I loved your photos. I did not plant marigolds this year and I miss them! Your last picture was great!! What a good idea!!
ReplyDeleteDonna what great picatures. Love the flowers and your needlepoint is so cute. The blocks are so neat and not only did you spell orange but got a couple orange blocks in there. Good job!
ReplyDeleteLOLHahaha.....Oh..You're GOOD!!! I Love the BLOCKS!!! Great Job!!!hughugs
ReplyDeleteThanks, Donna! LOL, I was really struggling with this one, but I'm happy to amuse everyone!
ReplyDeleteHi Donna, I think the blocks were inspired! As for the rabbit picture, it's absolutely beautiful. I have some marigolds in my garden, but they're more yellow than orange. These are a lovely vibrant colour. A really great orange selection.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jeanette! I love all kinds of flowers and marigolds are part of my tradition with annuals. The last picture was silly and I was giggling while taking it. Glad you liked them all!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jeanne! I love my little bunny picture. It's joyful. Yep, I had to find some antique blocks with orange coloring too. I went through my entire collection to get the best combination!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dabrah! Had to put on the thinking cap with this challenge. It was fun to do and I'll participate some more. I appreciate your generous comments. I love my little bunny picture. As you can all tell, I got this "thing" about bunnies, LOL.
ReplyDeleteloved the ideas! it has been so fun visiting all these blogs and seeing all this creativity....wonderful photos.
