Scavenger Hunt on Monday

Welcome to another edition of the photo Scavenger Hunt!  Enjoy!

1.  Food

One of my newest original recipes is homemade mozzarella pesto pizza.  (I actually used four cheeses for the pictured version but there is more mozzarella than anything else.)  Jake and I had a pizza similar to this during our DC vacation in August that was amazing and wanted to do it ourselves.  The first time I made it, it was very good.  The second time I made it, it was amazing.  I'm so proud of myself.  I made one all cheese pizza (which you can see here) and one half Italian sausage/half chicken pizza.  I would like to try a half veggie one next time.

2.  Purple

Here's s sneak peak at one of the new pieces for my 2012 herringbone line.  Whenever I ask for color suggestions, purple is almost always one of the choices.  This is for all of you who love purple.  And as always, purple is so hard to photograph.  The balance is pretty good here, but the colors are even more vibrant in person.

3.  In Disguise

Nope, I did not take any photos of anyone in Halloween costumes this year.  That would have been the perfect subject for this theme.  I don't actually think of make up as disguise but I had no other ideas for this prompt.  At the show I did in October, I won a $15 gift certificate and consultation from Mary K.  I made a couple purchases.  This was one of them.  I love how you can reorder only the colors that you need from it when you need them.

4.  Shapes

You've seen a lot of the new buttons that I bought this fall in my button pin, magnet, and tack photos the last month or so.  Most of these new buttons are from 3 sets.  I bought an addition 2 sets that I haven't even cracked yet.  These shape buttons are from one of them.  Aren't they fun?  Many of them are too big or weirdly shaped for my jewelry designs (although the smaller circles would make good clasp buttons), but they will be perfect for pins and magnets.  I most likely won't have any of these done for my second fall show, but I'll have them for my 2012 shows.

5.  Photographer's Choice

Angel broke her kitty bed on purpose before we moved to Milwaukee.  She has further "perfected" the bed since then by pushing the blanket up in the front and leaning fully on the broken back.  The lesson here is: If something isn't the way you want it, take the initiative to make a change yourself.

I wanted to include one more photo of her from the front in her box, as that side pose isn't the most flattering.  Don't you love how the front of the box tips up when she sits this way?  And yes, that wall socket is upside down. We have a few like that in our house.

Originally I was going to use this photo of Angel for this prompt before I got inspired by the box pose so I'm still sharing it here, too.
