ahhhhhhh

 Nothing beats 50' weather in Minnesota in DECEMBER !!!  The older I get -- the less I like winter.  Although, I know we will pay for this warmth in the future. 

I'm falling behind on my words.  Never fear -- next week will be catch up week.

I did however, get a haircut and -- tossed out the squash that was riding around in the back of my truck, get a project (or two) done at work, got a crib quilt bound, laundry, Christmas cards arrived from Walgreens ... and the Christmas letter to the far and away family members is done ....

And I still have all of today!  

So today's list:

1.  Bind the large quilt (Xmas gift)
2.  Clean the sewing room.
3.  Toss out at least 3 more things.
4.  Laundry (it never ends).
5.  A couple hours at the office.
         (yard work and #'s)
6.  Take a walk (mud and all)
7.  whip up a couple of Christmas table runners.


Happy Day of Rest!

1992 - Quilt

 

my early attempt at strip piecing (and quilting) ...

small -- very small

 

didn't know how to bind corners

the Quilts, Quilts, Quilts book was confusing

 

of course -- hand quilted

 

 

holy cats --- 23 years ago ....

I signed and dated it!!!

 

This little jewel has been thru a lot.  I know it was hanging on my office wall when the March 1998 tornado blew thru and wiped out most of the office ... it made the move south to the new office ... it has been bouncing around there for 14 years ... I found it last week while cleaning.

 

Linking up with Crazy Mom's

Finishing up Friday ....

 



Day 4 - TACTFUL

Word of the day - TACTFUL

"the ability to say something with out irritating others"



hmmmm


 

Day 3 - Reasonable

REASONABLE --- the ability to think, act, react in an orderly manner.


perhaps the word of the day should be rational instead.


awoke early to see Minneapolis Police removing the Black Lives Matter protestors -- (at 4:00am) .. live -- I understand the need to "relocate" -- (not the proper description) but I don't understand the need to share it LIVE on television.  sensationalism.

I'm not sure the constant barrage of news media/social media/unsocial media is always necessary -- 


Types the woman addicted to facebook wastebook/bookface/worstbook.

Time for change -- for everyone.


REASONABLE.




 

aftermath

the world is a crazy place today ...

I willing admit -- at the office, I work in a bubble/zone/mindset where I don't always follow the daily happenings -- and then bam --

Literally, even though I have television, I don't watch during the day ... and during the holiday season I find radio just to much to bear.  Naïve, yes, self centered, yes -- the phone and email interruptions are enough.

please do not rush to judge
facts are needed

peace
