Orange you glad its Friday #57

This sea of orange tulips can be found at our annual flower festival called Floriade. There are over 450,000 planted for this event each year. At the end of the festival the volunteers get to take home the bulbs and the flowers get taken to hospitals and retirement homes. 

Linking up with Orange You Glad It's Friday Meme.

Orange you glad its Friday #42

It's not often I take a photo with orange in it. While making pumpkin soup I saw this on the kitchen counter top whilst on a 3 day away down in Snow Country this past weekend and knew I could play and link up with OYGIF. These pumpkins were grown in our garden and are called Queensland Blue and are very nice but oh so hard to peel. I used a clever and hacked away at it. I keep the seeds to replant again.

Orange Friday 001

Orange you glad it's Friday (on a Sunday hahaha) is a new meme by Sarah Bettey  

Can you spot the orange stocking?

I've been knitting these stockings for Stockings for Soldiers Project that sends a box of goodies

to Australian Soldiers deployed who won't be coming home for Christmas. Amongst other goodies are these miniature stockings that are smaller than a pen and holds a packet of life saver (because they save lives). I also coordinated the Christmas card portion this year. 3000 military soldiers will benefit from this wonderful project. Other items included in the box are Anzac Biscuits, Rum Balls, Jila Mints, Minties,  Nuts & Bolts, Eucalyptus Lollies, Chuppa Chups, cocktail Aussie flags, Puddings, majority of which have been handmade or baked by volunteers all over Australia.

The colours for the stockings are Red, Green, White and Gold (yellow), I just had some orange wool and was testing all colours and it happened to be this Meme.
