Have I mentioned my secret dream job: inventing names for all those color swatches you get in the paint department at the hardware store? This project is the perfect training ground. :) This week's color choice—#6 in my Color-a-Week project—was inspired by a visit to the Portland home of my sister... and her faithful, furry, aging friend. (No, not you Paul!)
