Sharing some good things with others at Not Afraid of Color
I shared this with my book club, but if you substitute “too much fabric” for “too many books” this works for us quilters and makers, also!
I’m not sewing much but are getting the boos is sewn into rows on this one. I’ll show my progress on Friday.

do you like amusement parks? which one is your favorite? Do you like rides or shows better?
Mr Busy and I took a “just us” trip to Elitchs Gardens in Denver in the summer of 1969. He likes amusement/carnival rides. I hate them. We rode the roller coaster. I didn’t like it, but I like him so I did it. The only other exposures to carnival rides and such were local county fairs in South Dakota and a state fair in Arizona when our great grandchildren were preteens. Those were traveling Ferris Wheels, Tilt-a-Whirl, and carousels. We did visit Spokane Washington on a motorcycle vacation to Glacier National Park and beyond, and rode a large beautiful carousel there. It was wonderful.
I tried the new option to let blogger add links. Let me know how it looks to you.
August 28th is a special day to me. It was my mother’s birthday. She would have been 103 today. She almost made her 90th birthday. I miss her a lot.
This is one of the last photos I have of her.
Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy and Hopeful.
My parents, aunt, and uncle took my cousin and me to Elitches at night in the early 1960s. It was a magical night (in my memory) and I loved it, so I have great memories of it.
ReplyDeleteYour Mom looks like a lovely woman, I know you miss her.
The links are a good feature because they open up in a new page, rather than on the same page as your blog.
Linda's Biscornu looks lovely, Judy. Thanks for that book recommendation...I'm reading through the Pulitzer winners presently. Lovely photo of you with your Mom. Yes, how we miss them....
ReplyDeleteI hope your day is full of warm and loving thoughts of your Mom!
ReplyDeleteI agree with that meme - for both books and fabric! Your string blocks look wonderful. I love that design where the center strips make the diamonds. The carousel was always a favorite ride of mine, too. Happy birthday in heaven to your mama. I miss my dad still, too. 🩷
ReplyDeleteInteresting blogger option. I haven't seen that pop up on mine. Great photo of you and your mom. :-)
