Spectrum Sunday!
It is another spectrum Sunday in July so purple abounds. However, I’m finding it much more difficult to find purple things around me that are not flowers than I have the other colors so far. Above you can see that we have an over the door set of hooks that hold primarily purple things. This is over our pantry door that is a converted coat closet in our dining room. Hanging on these hooks are our EcoSacs (two of which fall in the purple spectrum), Emma’s leashes, and my apron which are purple. The photos aren’t great because it has been raining all weekend so I had to resort to flash which I’m finding on this new camera really wash things out. But I will gladly sacrifice photo quality for these past two glorious days of drizzle, rain, and overcast skies. We were in desperate need of some moisture and the break from summer heat has been glorious. In fact, I even got to pull out my purple jacket that I got for my birthday (a 1X too) and I couldn’t recall ever needing a jacket here in the front range in July since I moved here in 1999!
This week I also recieved some Project Spectrum goodness in the mail. Shortly after Estes Park, Green Eyed Grrl had a contest using that meme of leaving a one word comment describing her and I won! Not only did she send some fantastic purple-goodness Opal sock yarn, but she shared a bar of the soap she, Katherine and Knitty Professor made. I adored the ribbon she tied around the sock yarn bag too! I have to wait a while to use the soap, but it smells heavenly!
Lastly, I got two more shots of purple flowers on Wednesday when we went to Anne’s mom’s house to pick cherries and raspberries (more on that later this week). This time I know the names, we have a petunia and a delphinium.
