More orange

I promised more pictures and I had every intention of taking some good ones, but time got away from me.  So I have no photos of the bride's bouquet or the boutonnieres.  I'll have to wait and see if the photographer got any that are close enough to see.

This is the flower girl's basket.  Why is there a butterfly on the basket (not a "fall" concept, I protested...)?  The bride wanted it.   The bride wanted one in the flower girl's headband...but her mother talked her out of that one.  (Thank you, MOB.)

A bridesmaid's bouquet. Not the greatest photo, but I was in a hurry.... There were four of these.  Vendela cream roses, orange spray roses, mango calas, seeded eucalyptus, and orange freesia.

The orchids used in the bride's bouquet.  There were quite a few left over and I've been enjoying them.

And because the orange just keeps coming.  Butternut squash soup with roasted red pepper puree. Recipe is from Epicurious.  This is seriously good soup.  Don't skip the red pepper puree...it makes the soup.

Hive hat (from the Knitting Bee in Portand, OR) and mittens I invented to go along with the hat. Very pumpkin-esque. I was sad to read that the Julia yarn by Kristin Nichols is being discontinued. So I dug out the skeins Kristin had given me during her class and made something. Even though it has no embroidery, I think Kristin would approve.

I'm so done with orange.
