I LIKE Thursday.#291

Another gem from Nanea Hoffman of Sweatpants and Coffee.

I joining LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color for this weeks conversation about likes. Lee Anna suggested this conversation starter:

what back to school supply would you like to have now as an adult? Fresh new notebooks? markers or new crayons? fat pack of ruled paper? lunchbox?  LOL  tell us your fave    I guess my answer would be pens and fine line pencils. My accumulated stash of ball point pens has dwindled in recent years. I got used to gel pens when I worked. But now I like different colored pens. Now’s the time to buy them. I’m definitely going to stock up. I did notice that when we did our absentee ballots for Tuesday’s primary, the instructions specifically stated no gel pens and only black ink. 

 Not much time at the sewing machine lately, but as I was arranging yellow and aqua (from July’s RSC) 2 1/2” squares for my 16 patch stars, I discovered a really good use for the plethora of political ads we received in the mail. I used them for dividers between the  blocks on my portable design boards. LOL They were sturdy card stock and plenty big enough to keep the pieces separated! 

On Sunday our granddaughter and her kids spent a few hours with us. Our youngest great grandson, took much pleasure in noticing “that he was finally taller than me”. Indeed he is. His 13th birthday is early September. 

His little sister, 10 years old, isn’t that far behind. 

We took a mixed up stair step photo in front of our stair railing!  😄

We have been watching the new seasons of Lioness on Paramount+, and Reacher on Prime. 

I’m still working on CIRCLE OF DAYS by Ken Follett. And listening to THE BOYFRIEND by Freida McFadden . 

I’m also embroidering pincushion with initials. The next one is for MJ, then S, D, then A. . 

Did I show these last week?  I think I did. 😟

They are fun to do.

Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy and Hopeful.
