October is for yellows and oranges

Luckily for me, when I was planning for this trip,  I had a feeling that yellow was going to come into play for October's color of the month.  I grabbed lots of yellows, golds, and oranges when I was packing up fabrics to keep me out of trouble busy while I visited down here.

Leading with a few kaleidoscopes -


in a range of contrast, from low to high.  I've got more fabrics that I want to kaleid before the month is out, because you can never have too much yellow/orange!

And this is Ziggy.


I'm a little concerned about the tire-tread look he's sporting here.  Or is it bacon?

I even found some of the correct colors at the local botanical garden -



and I made some pumpkin muffins, because there's no more glorious orange than a pumpkin!

Finally, a kaleidoscope fix! Thanks. Having bacon for dinner with leftover egg dish I made for church women's breakfast today. Sorry ...

Oh you were ahead of the game with the colours! Poor piggy - not a good look for him with the zig zags!

Loving your yellow kaleidoscopes!

Lots of energy in those oranges and yellows, great kaleidoscopes.
I like Ziggy, he looks sporty.

The kaleidoscopes and Ziggy look great in yellow and orange! I'm afraid Ziggy is just bacon in disguise! Thanks for the pumpkin muffin recipe, too. I was just commenting on someone else's post today that I am really in the mood for pumpkin goodies, so I will have to try those.

bacon! Snort! cute blocks but the muffins look good enough to eat. Are they gone yet?

Karen said...

Ziggy is adorable. I don't think he should become bacon even though bacon would be delicious with the pumpkin muffins.

Angie said...

Love the kaleidoscopes - very happy! And Ziggy has a great thing going, all the other cool piglets will be sporting chevrons soon!

Whoa--those muffins do sound decadent--yum!! Your kaleidoscope blocks are awesome!

Don't worry about ziggy.... he just got his tail stuck in an electrical outlet. He'll be fine!

Ziggy turned out very cute! Lots of fun colors in your Kaleidoscope blocks. Looks like you are staying busy.

You coined a clever new word, kaleid. Is that what butterflies do when they fly together? Poor Ziggy. Unfortunately he looks like he ran out in the road, got run over by a big truck and looks like bacon. But he is definitely a survivor and has quite an adventure story to tell. Maybe it's just a tall tail.
