Gussy Sews Inspiration - Yellow

I never really thought of myself as a fan of the color yellow. I am more of a purple, green, or pink kind of girl. But as I thought about it for this month's challenge, I came to the realization that I really am a fan of yellow! Who knew?!

It really should come as no surprise to me that I am a fan of yellow. I was, after all, born into a yellow world. Both of my parents are from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, so from the day I was born I was raised and dressed a Pittsburgh fan.

Yep, that is me circa 1979! :)

In case you are not a sports fan, all three of Pittsburgh's major sports teams: Pirates (baseball), Steelers (football), and Penguins (hockey) use the same colors, black and gold, although sometimes the gold is more of a yellow.

I am inspired daily by Pittsburgh black and gold, especially in my crafts:

I am actually working on a few black and gold Christmas presents this year too. But, shhh. Don't tell my family!

I also realized that I am surrounded by yellow on a daily, and nightly, basis. My bedroom is painted yellow, although not from my doing. When I moved into my house the master bedroom had just been painted yellow, and not a light lemon yellow but a pretty bold yellow. I remember saying to the realtor, "The first thing I am going to do is paint that bedroom". Well, that was over three years ago and the bedroom is still yellow. :)

The walls have inspired my bedroom decorations, my furniture and bedding to follow the yellow theme. I even decoupaged the back of my bookcase with yellow wrapping paper. 

I guess that means I'm keeping the yellow walls. They have become a little muted over the years, so they aren't so bold anymore. And, they make the room bright and cheerful! Plus, they match all of my Pittsburgh stuff. 

Last night, as I was loading all of my pictures for this post, I switched over to Facebook to see what was happening. I actually laughed out loud when I noticed I am even wearing a yellow shirt in my Facebook profile pic!

I can't believe it took this challenge to make me realize how much I am inspired daily by the color yellow, but I'm glad I now know that I really am a fan of the color yellow.  Yay for yellow!!!
