True Colours Thursday--Blue!

Blue has made its way around again, and this week I went with a musical theme. These are the album covers of three of my favorite artists/bands.

Of course, the Beatles!

The Eagles

Lucinda Williams probably isn't as well-known as the first two. She has a unique style--country/bluesy/Southern rock-ish... I don't know how to categorize it, but I like it!

Card from Blue!


I got my Christmas card from Blue on Monday! I was in a crazy fudge-making mode on Monday and Tuesday, so I didn't get my photo uploaded then, but I have a picture of it up today. Thanks, Blue!!!

True Colours Thursday--Yellow!

For this week's True Colours Thursday, I picked a cooking theme.

These three yellow ingredients each play an important role in my favorite cheesy potato soup. For several years, I've made this soup for my grandma's Christmas party. I also have to make several batches for myself throughout the fall and winter months.



Mmm... love that processed cheese!



Salty and unhealthy, but it works wonders in flavoring my soup.


I don't know if this one counts as yellow, but it's a Yukon Gold potato--one of the most important ingredients in my favorite soup!

True Colours Thursday--Blue!


This is a tealight candle holder that one of my friends bought for my birthday a few years ago.


This is a pillow my grandma crocheted for me.


My grandma also crocheted this doily. However, the crochet hooks are mine.

True Colours Thursday--Red!

I'm so glad to see that my photos finally loaded! I initially had four photos, but after spending the better part of a day trying unsuccessfully to load them all, then after failing to load three of them, I tried loading only two. Apparently that's all I'm going to get this time. Maybe when red rolls around the next time I can use the other two.

These are nesting dolls from Russia. My dad spent a good part of the morning performing a low-budget Caesarian on the 2nd doll. Apparently the paint glaze dried in the joint, thus gluing doll #2 together and imprisoning the four other nesting dolls inside. But persistence paid off, and I was able to get this shot. It's not perfect, but it's here.

This is Mom's mug that she bought from Michael's craft store. She thought the mugs were "too cute," and dropped the hat (lid) off one of them. I was terrified that she had broken it, but fortunately it was tough and didn't break. Soon after that incident (which involved a total silencing of all patrons and the subsequent open-mouthed staring), I strongly encouraged her to just pick one so we could get out of there as soon as possible. This was the one she went with!

Blue, I realize that it is now actually Friday for you. I sincerely apologize for my inability to post when I wanted to (which was around 11:00 or noon today). Anyway, I may get an early start on next week by saving a draft early, and maybe even posting on Wednesday night!
