Joining the gratitude gang at Not Afraid of Color and sharing some things that make me happy!
Thank you LeeAnna for continuing to host this event!
In September, Preeti Harris hosted a Topsy Turvy block hop for 5 lucky quilters. Turid of Den Syende himmel presented her version of Topsy Turvy on September 11th. I commented on Turid’s post. I liked her lime and aqua version. On September 23, I received an email informing me I’d won a selvage pincushion made by Turid! Then last week I received this cute little pincushion all the way from Norway!
It’s made with selvages and embellished with a tiny pink heart-topped pin. Also tucked in the package was a card that shows a stunning hexagon quilt. And lastly an itty bitty card with even tinier strips of
orange, red, and yellow fabrics inset in the card. It makes my heart sing! Thank you,thank you, thank you, Turid! It’s fabulous!
We watched DOG starring Channing Tatum on Apple TV+ . It was very good! Mr Busy wasn’t as pleased with it as DD and I.
Last Saturday we made a trip to Rapid City So. Dakota to get some supplies for Mr Busy’s hobby! There is a great hobby store there, Who’s Hobby, that stocks the things he needs to complete his airplane! We came home "the long way" through Spearfish Canyon in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
Not lots of gold color, but we had a wonderful day.
Wednesday it was windy and rainy , so I think we made a good choice to go last weekend!
This photo makes my heart full! I’m not a Vikings fan but my brother is!
LeeAnna’s prompt for this week is:
Do you have a favorite snack food? Or a chip?
My go-to snack is Chocolate! Chocolate anything! Right now we have chocolate covered peanut clusters with caramel in the candy dish. There are also peppermint patties in a different candy dish I try to limit to one a day!
Tortilla chips and salsa are a non guilty snack! I count out the chips, I can have 15 of the small round ones and salsa is “free”!
Fun prize winnings, Judy! Spearfish Canyon looks beautiful. Glad you got a scenic drive in on the way home from Rapid. Yum on the chocolate treats!
ReplyDeleteYes for chocolate! What a fun photo of your brother.
ReplyDeletewe have some peppermint patties that I have to Absolutely limit. I could eat more than one but shouldn't. Your snacks are my kind of snack!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great photo and I like the idea of your hubby having an enjoyable hobby too that takes you places to get stuff. Tony just goes back and forth to the Home Depot himself.
ReplyDeleteHow nice to win that sweet package! Treats! And I like milk chocolate but don't eat it very much. I smiled reading about the way you control your favourites...me too.
My husband is a fly fisherman and ties his own flies. It's nice having a partner who is passionate about hobbies! My brother is also a Vikings fan! Wishing you a very happy day!
ReplyDeleteHi Judy! What a lovely view on your ride through the badlands and the Black Hills. Boo to the Vikings but that is a darn sweet picture!! And your peppermint patties sound delicious. I love them! Have a great weekend. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteThat selvage pincushion is adorable - nice wins! A drive through anywhere in the Black Hills sounds like a dream to me. We bought a used "planer" off Facebook Marketplace yesterday for Hubs' woodworking hobby, and he is in the garage right now cleaning it up and fussing about what a mess it is in. He is secretly enjoying it though - lol! You and I like the same snacks. I admire your willpower. Chips are my weakness, and if there is anything chocolate in the house I get weak in the knees. I have been known to snack on chocolate chips too.
