Out and About

IQ Wednesday night group mini  reunion.  Thirteen of us for 25 years, every Wednesday night.
Shuttered by Covid:  A few aged out; a few died; a few moved away; a few lost interest.
Trios welcomed these 6 of us on Friday, the 13th...lucky day for us...a good time was had by all!!
An old random magazine gave me this idea for more space in my new one bedroom apartment.  Surely wish my husband were here to admire this one!!
Another potholder for my giveaway basket.
The last, I hope of the Halloween potholders, moving on to other things.
Equilter sent me a $7 coupon....These cute bunnies were on sale and the coupon almost paid the shipping.  I do not usually buy from there as I hate expensive shipping.  Surely do like a bargain though.
Our pouty little Portland witch ends today's post.

Sew Very Random

Tonight's potholder...detail from an Accuquilt flower die.
Fun, of course!  I am going to put it on the door of a new friend in great grief.

Pulling out a few odd blocks.....from forever ago
I.had added another layer to them and recently the purple...But, what do you know....they are odder than I  had imagined.  Usually I like to mess with this sort of thing, but  I was so not in the mood last night.  On another glance, I think I will just make a few more blocks..

These initial triangle blocks were left over from my work by Sujata Shah.
It was great fabric fun  working on this and it hangs now over my bed.

In cleaning up, I found this adorable address from my girl when they took 5 months traveling across the country looking for a place to live.  They found Portland, Oregon and never left.

That is it...a bit down today, all this  operation stuff....
At least I was able to  swim for 30 min before the thunderstorm.
I feel a sense of urgency to finish things...yet  I only want to chill and do nothing.

Interesting below:  Shame I am 100% right brain...wish I was a mix 

Left-Right Brain Comparison

LEFT BRAIN ðŸ§ 

I am left brain. I am a scientist. A mathematician. I love the familiar. I categorize. I am accurate. Linear. Analytical. Strategic. I am practical.

Always in control. A master of words and language. Realistic. I calculate equations and play with numbers. I am order. I am logic. I know exactly who I am.

RIGHT BRAIN ðŸ§ 

I am right brain. I am creativity. A free spirit. I am passion. Yearning. Sensuality. I am the sound of roaring laughter. I am taste.

The feeling of sand beneath bare feet. I am movement. Vivid colors. I am the urge to paint on empty canvas. I am boundless imagination. Art. Poetry. I sense. I feel. I am everything I wanted to be.

Look what I ended up doing to calm my brain.  I made some square in a square  blocks
And our Aoife picking some raspberries from their  own back yard.
This picture of her lifts my heart.


Hoping my brain and my heart have a peaceful day tomorrow.
