Maybe 100 is too much to come up with? <br /><br />The colors you describe are lovely. My two weddings were in Fall with very Fall color schemes, although I also love the Spring very much.Widow in the Middlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01598249263166943162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738048378012755564.post-76317157415533861902011-03-25T06:01:42.087-07:002011-03-25T06:01:42.087-07:00Beautiful colors, beautiful scarf!

These are some of the colors I had in my wedding -- the bridesmaids wore, pink, blue, yellow, lavender tea-length dresses -- April wedding. <br /><br />A great idea -- making a list of 100 things you want to do for fun -- can't wait to hear about them! <br /><br />Take care and keep showing pictures of your wonderful creations!!BethinNChttp://www.bsk4blog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738048378012755564.post-83290481402834191252011-03-25T05:15:38.485-07:002011-03-25T05:15:38.485-07:00Boo - You guys have the fragrance "Happy"...Boo - You guys have the fragrance "Happy" in the UK too? Did not know about the orange oil, although I use a lot of orange fragrance around the house - citrus air freshener, citrus dish soap and so on. Now I am going to buy a big package of oranges that I can get for $1.29 at the fruit and veggie market and just put them out in a bowl on a table. I think I read somewhere that looking at oranges (and the color orange) is a mood booster as well.Widow in the Middlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01598249263166943162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738048378012755564.post-18556569902669885532011-03-24T17:33:03.671-07:002011-03-24T17:33:03.671-07:00"Happy" makes us happy because it uses o..."Happy" makes us happy because it uses oil of orange ... and it is used for exactly that in aromatherapy :-)<br /><br />I like it too.

I think I have also knitted with the "Monet" yarn, a scarf for my sister as she is an artist, and it the colors are lovely. I am composing a list of 100 things I want to do for fun over the next three months. One of my ideas is to go play Bingo. I might also now add, "Sit on my balcony and watch the world go by," for a few hours at least, anyway!Widow in the Middlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01598249263166943162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738048378012755564.post-29449142827362095612011-03-24T15:17:16.469-07:002011-03-24T15:17:16.469-07:00I also have been knitting a scarf, and chose a var...I also have been knitting a scarf, and chose a varigated one as well. My yarn was named "Monet", and I got it because it reminds me of the colors of some of his paintings. Great minds think alike, don't they? Sorry I haven't written in a while. I actually have been doing pretty well. I am still dealing with my grief, but am reading, knitting, etc. I also finally made myself go out last Friday night. I went back to play bingo with my friends that I had before my husband passed away. I can't do that all the time (finances don't allow this) but it was fun reconnecting to old friends. I am glad to hear that you are looking forward to spring as well. I want to get outside, and just sit on my porch, and watch the world go by. This is something I never allow myself to do before. Talk to you soon!!!Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01897992155359266363noreply@blogger.com
