i love yellow week


This post provided me with much mirth and merriment. Tracy hosted yellow week this week and I did a little post just letting you all know it was yellow week with a picture of a token yellow flower. So, my 'serious' posts are typically done just before the weekend and I was wracking my brain on what I was going to do. I wanted to continue my theme of collages around my colorful, recently knitted socks and stay true to yellow week - I was a bit stumped creatively. I went out to the garden to water my flowers and to think and as I was pondering my lack of ideas I looked down and saw my toes peeking out from under a leaf...they were yellow - OPI yellow - kind of a curry color...I was so excited, ran inside, grabbed my camera...and my theme was born.

Yellow toes! I love that! I never would have though to paint my toes yellow, but now I really want to!

Tracy said...

Curry toes...that is fab! And you know how I am about yellow ;o) I just love those socks and all the citrus goodness of this post! I am hoping yet to find some yellow before week's end...and it's almost the end--LOL! Happy weekend, my friend ((HUGS))

it all works perfectly raina!
i have been inspired to join in this yellow fun and on our walk to the village just now we were looking for anything yellow. we found yellow road signs, yellow lines painted on the road and at my friends house, some lovely yellow evening primroses.
Have a lovely 'yellow' weekend.x

You are a true expert in photos and knitting!!! Your photos are great!!!Congrats!

I've "walked" a little through your blog and I saw you were nearby in Spain some time ago! I have to say that the driving here (Portugal) is alike (:
But in Italy is worst, can you imagine it??

can't believe this whole blogging phenomenon was under my radar until just recently, it's all so inspiring!

i popped a couple of peacock prints in the mail for you yesterday -- if i had known you liked bears too...

Rachel said...

Your yellow toes are sort of cracking me up right now! :) 'Babe' just doesn't understand the pressures of blogging does he?

Very cool that you made socks out of your purchase from Jessi...those are great colors together. Are you going to show us a picture of the whole sock?

Ani said...

ha ha! nice work!

i was actually thinking when i was yellow-blocked yesterday, "hmmm...do we have yellow polish? nope." just may have to try that out.

and loving those bee-yoo-t-full socks!

PrincessPea said...

The socks are gorgeous, but your toenail polish is just awesome, albeit in an ever-so-slightly scary way!

Kate said...

Lovely toes!

Anne said...

I love the yellow polish too!

I say that this post speaks out of the soul of every blogger. Who of us doesn't go out and look for a nice shot without the one particular intention...
I wanted to join the yellow week, too, but I wanted to find a special yellow thing where the color would be yellow on purpose. Every one can take something yellow so I think it would be nice to do it in more complex way. But I am not going to make it. I probably wouldn't find anything like that anyway.

It was nice what you wrote on my blog about the paintings, it is very true.

Beth said...

I am a teensy tiny bit jealous of those lovely yellow toes! :)

caroline said...

maitai said...

kim said...

Such a cool post. I find myself doing things for the blog I would not normally do. That polish is great, and the socks are very pretty.

Mrs.French said...

theblondeknitter said...

you know, i seriously thought my life was mostly void of yellow. i'm not that big of a fan, well i wans't, until i went around the house/yard looking for it. i now have a newly found admiration for yellow. thanks for the inspiration! i'll have to post about what i found.

btw, your toes are TOOOOOO cute! and as always, love the photos!
