Autumnal Colour

 I think we can all agree Autumn has some of the most fabulous colors to put on show for us. Here are some of my favorites...
 
 The bright blue skies,dark nights and vibrant oranges..
 Rich Browns, Mossy Greens and Rusts and Deep Sunny Yellows
Or Pumpkin Orange, Dusky Violet, and Squash Stem Greens..

 Some other fall favorites...
 











Well back to school and reality has been kicking my "arse". Homework every day!!!, back to school nights, pta meetings, fall canning , bedroom makeover plus now some very part time work at my girlfriends pre school.

My friend asked me to come over the other day to make stuffed cabbages, ( if your interested let me know I'll put the recipe up, they are pretty simple) she hasn't made them since Nana passed away last year. It was fun to sit in Nana's kitchen and make them, it was a good day I finally got around to do some canning and need to do more ASAP!! I need to start harvesting my Sage and Thyme

I finished my project for the My Sisters Knitter Kal/Cal ...Finally! I am not crazy how it turned out but it will be a good everyday around my neck sort of thing. I wanted to finish more projects but a bedroom makeover got int the way . I went from a dusky purple/ reddish color to a green gold and very light violet. I ended up working around my nightstands i re painted. they took me in a whole new direction. I was going to go with a lavender but such is life and creativity. You think you are going one way and than BAM a whole new direction.

Now back to they colors..The Halloween hexie will go into a mug rug or coaster or maybe a bunting I don't know yet. I have been really into the turquoises, black and orange. I am going to make a baby beanie with it, I joined the Beanie- a-long with Me over at Knitspiring Odyssey with Stephanie a really fun blog. Give her a visit.

Well, back to homework ugh....I would love to hear what your favorite Autumn colorway? It will give me something to look forward to during painting!

Be well,
Ming

  2. Such nice warm colors, bring that special feeling... And the cabbage looks like to die for! Reminds me of the stuffed cabbage we used to make with my Mom in Ukraine, I guess it is pretty similar to your recipe.

  6. Your home is so beautiful!! I love your photos. They just make me feel so warm and cozy. And absolutely...share your cabbage roll recipe!! In all honesty, fall is my absolute favorite time of year. I love the shades of orange, and red, and yellow.....the bean fields start to turn this beautiful golden yellow right before they're ready to pick. Living in the country and seeing natures color palette at it's finest is such a blessing! Thank you so much for sharing your warm and cozy home! :)
