Change....Ongoing...

Change...It is everywhere....some good...some sad!!
Look how a bit of snowballing upgraded this flimsy
Lynsey spends the weekend with her mother...
Lynsey will be 11 in February..
I wish that growing up, we had seen holiday cards like this.
My wreath I bought in Equador..I no longer travel like that.
Tompte placemats remind me of my  Swedish grandmother....long gone..
A delightful shirt I bought on sale somewhere...
It does not fit the one who would like it.
The one it fits, does not like it...
FABRIC...Just look at those colors!!!
Like I said before...I just love scissors!
A very special handmade Christmas card from my girl.
xoox and more xoxo
Working on the spirit of today.
The spirits of Christmas past still carry me.

Medallions and Purple Process

The plan here is to put space between the center piece
and the outside borders.
Choosing the feather for the value, not the colors.
For, even though the colors are blue and pink, etc
The value complements the light coral of the first border.
I think, anyway...
Checking the width of the feather border...
It is pinned up, looking for a way to insert the yellow/green, ,maybe
I will make another hour glass block with purple and chartreuse.
I love to work this way.  It is time consuming, but so rewarding.
I used to know where I bought all my fabric and
where it is displayed on my shelves.
Sorry to say that I have lost my touch...and my fabric locating mind.
This is the second day that I have not been able to put my
hand on fabric that I wanted...and knew it was there...someplace.
So frustrating to know that you used to...but not anymore.
Reminders are everywhere...when I had my hair cut last week
My hairdresser of 20 years, put some grey in the back...of my hair.
I swear!!! And I had thought she liked  me.
Reminiscing that I can no longer body surf in the cold Pacific ocean
And I can no longer roller skate, nor ride a bike.
My task is to figure out what I can do now..
Read and sew and lunch and laugh with friends..
Throw in a nap or two..and it sounds so good to me.

I spotted this lovely with the purple flowers.
I had thought it would work, alas, it reads as blue.
And, it is too dark.


I have been relaxing with my 5 days free of grand-darlings.
And, then it hit again...that ALS/G thing, and the distortion that comes with it..
My son texted me not to let anything get in the way of enjoying the day.
Wise advice.

So, made myself check off some lists..
eg, my annual asthma review...I got an A+, no asthma present!!
Went to the store for boring things like air filters...but check!!
Sent out some texts to friends.
Then I read and read and napped.
Tomorrow it will rain all day, says the weather person.
Right up my relaxing alley...
I could start dreading the upcoming back to school week.
But I am not going to...so there!!!
