Love you orange

I've always had a bit of a thing for orange. My kinder boyfriend was a redhead, I liked a ranga in high school, and I married one too. Maybe it was meant to be that my rented kitchen has very orange tiles. And I *heart* them. Which gives me a license to orange up the rest of the place. After Christmas there'll be another orange boy in my life...the furry kind.

In the meantime, here's some orangey Flickr'd goodness:

And you can imagine how much that prententious side of me loves the fact that the Popular Penguins are of course, orange. Hooray for good design!

Bedroom

Just a shot of some of my embroidered pillowcases. I haven't been blogging much, or doing much or anything useful, but I have been stitching. Latest one is the kitty in the left foreground, from a vintage pattern. She's dreaming of the perfect boy...aren't we all?

And a current WIP, another pillowcase with a Sublime pattern:

Another blog

Time for a change. Last week I moved house, to a unit by the bay. I can see the beach from the end of my street, and I've got my own space to potter around in. There's a certain amount of sadness and grieving, but overall I'm positive. It was the fairest thing for HP and something I needed to do. This just leaves me as a chick with crap and craft. The clutter, cars and critters remain at Portionvilla. Another thing that tears my heart. So anyway, I have some new adventures ahead and we'll see how I go. I just hope everyone still drops in for a cuppa.
