Caroline's Day 6 - Fruit

Caroline is eagerly awaiting her book.  We decided it must be coming on that slow boat from China!  Although I have heard about the supertankers that can move so fast they get here in 3 days!  But then they have to dig through tons and tons and tons of merchandise to get to the book, which is probably at the very bottom of everything!

Patty The Quilt Lady is Creating, Too!

PattyA is creating even with a bad tooth.

She has a pothole (don't we know about those here in Louisiana!) at the end of her driveway.  She got creative with her photo to the city asking them to fix it.  For Day 4 she tweaked the message and took a walk down her driveway, leaving this for the pothole fixers to smile about!

On Day 5 - Collections she put together some of her rocks.  I see these when we are hiking in the western states along the trails.  This is a nice way of displaying rocks.  My mother kept her rocks all over the house.  I have them sitting in my fountain now.  I will have to send PattyA some rocks.

Can you tell what this is?  Day 6 is kitchen veggies or fruits.  Can you see those beautiful rose prints?  Celery! 
Who knew celery was so beautiful in ink?

Day 6 - The Lowly Orange Elevates

I have a huge pile of oranges on my table right now.  So when I walked into the kitchen it was literally the first fruit I saw!  And wow, where he took me!

Oranges and fabric, how was that going to collide?  As I studied the orange I randomly grabbed from the pile, I noticed it actually had a face!  Like a little old Croatian lady for some reason.

When I was young, my mother made all our clothes.  And with the leftover fabrics she would make a babushka.  You know, those triangles with tie stings that you wore on your head.   Well, every dress I had had its own matching babushka!  I hated them.

But that is just what this little Croatian Orange Lady needed.

That was way too easy!  I needed more for my new orange pal...........So he got a wig of vintage black and white houndstooth.


And in honor of Noah Scalin, inventor of this 365: Journal of Creativity, my orange friend got a skull tattoo.

And haven't you heard, Orange Loves Company?  Here he is fraternizing with my large orange rick rack.  On top of my orange fountain.

Here, showing his manly side, Orange Guy is acting rustic.

Or heavy metal.  One of the two, he proves he is a wild and crazy guy!

LOL........am I the only one old enough to understand that one?

Now I have to go eat him since I stuck pins all in him.
