Colourful Friday

I've decided today that I would join in on Robyn's Colourful Fridays. The above is a bridesmaids dress I made and wore when my sister was married.

The crochet blanket in this lot of pics is my first effort at crochet some years ago!

A few of hubby's conduit and cables.


The flower in the centre of the pic is s a variety of Leucospermum...relative of the South African Protea. It does well here on the coast, surviving summers without water and attracts not only birds & bees!!
For some more colour visit Robyn.
Have a great weekend all......Jane.

Hi Jane.Great to see all your orange photos. That is an impressive job, taking on the sewing of a bridesmaid's dress. It looks lovely.
I also enjoyed the flowers. They are stunning.
Enjoy your weekend!

I just had to come over to your blog when I saw the name of it. I used to have a cinnamon roll shop in Dallas Texas called The Cinnamon Station.
That is one beautiful embroidered piece at the top of your blog page. Wow! Did you do that? If so you put my skills to shame.
