I LIKE Thursday #86

 

Good Morning!  Hope your day is a great one! I'm sharing my likes from this week with everyone at LeeAnna's blog Not Afraid of Color. Join us in sharing your good news and checking out other participants. 

WORDS:

This seems like a good place to start.   It came from the Food Matters Facebook page.  But the message stands. 

This is more of just a statement.......because I have no words for the pain and fear I am feeling. I can't even imagine!

I shared this one on Facebook, so my family of women would see. Sharing with you all, because maybe you don't follow me on Facebook. 

I'm reading a book that was a Christmas gift from my daughter. Devoted by Dean Koontz. There are words in that book, that I am unfamiliar with.  Like, “swale” and “archaea”. “Treacly”and “portcullis “! Back in the day, when I first started blogging, I blogged with Book lovers. There was a meme that was hosted by Kathy at Bermuda Onion that she called Wondrous Words Wednesday! I used to participate. Then life and quilting and less reading happened and I stopped. I just tried to look her up and it seems she quit blogging in 2020. At lease under that blog name.  Wondrous Words Wednesday is now hosted at Elza Reads. The format is a bit different, but go look if that interests you. 

Are you familiar with the words I found?

Entertainment: We finished watching 1883, looking forward to season 2. I don't know when it will air, but I will be keeping an eye out for it. 

Outlander started on the 5th I think, on Starz. I need to see about downloading Starz. They have a special right now. $5 a month for 3 months. We don't have it in our cable package. I will check to see what that cost is. 

Mr Busy is still working on his Dog Puzzle. He is making great progress. He has always been 'single minded" with a “stick with it” attitude. Not tempted by 'squirrels" like I am!  "haha"

Added Thursday morning, I forgot while writing the post!  Head slap! 

I finished this counted cross stitch, and made it into a "dough bowl filler". I don't have a dough bowl or tray, but it's all the rage in the stitching community. So I'm in!!!

This is the back, finished like Lori Holt does on her YouTube video. I need to tweak it a bit. The tan piece of wool looks naked.  

Sitting now, on my March table runner with a couple of other seasonal decor items

This word spoke to me when I saw the chart on line. My Mom and Dad had a "song"!  Do couples do that anymore?  Mr Busy and I do not have one. Anyway, theirs was Always by Irving Berlin. Sung in their era by Frank Sinatra. I looked up the info and found that it has been done by Paul McCartney and Phil Collins.

I had an extra pie crust after I made quiche last week! So I made an apple tart or crostata. It made a mess of the pan. Thank goodness for parchment paper. It washed up easier than I thought it would!  

It was good, made even better with the addition of vanilla bean ice cream. If I do the recipe again, I’ll add a bit more sugar. 

I want to make date bars next. I found a recipe online that looks easy! If it happens and they are good, I’ll share the recipe next week!

That’s all for this week. I’ve been sewing, I’ll share on Saturday’s post,

Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy!
