What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I love my poodle... what a good boy Milo is and what a sense of humor he has! I came downstairs this week to see him, er, well I don't know what he was doing...

Milo's Moment

Mama: ummmm Milo what are you doing? 

Milo: thinking... I've watched you and daddy look at the black screen for years and don't know why...

Mama: well, we watch the TV for entertainment, you're watching the fireplace

Milo ...

Here   and HERE

reading on ebook

finished book 3 in cupcake mysteries and now listening to this, funny, real story of a woman who loses a job teaching, and inherits a house full of books... 

on tv, we're enjoying Amazing Race, New Amsterdam, Virgin River, last season of Shitts creek. 

always in search of a good hairstyle... I like nearly all of these...

Fine dining... well this week I ...

I finally allowed myself to start watching Bridgerton (I've read some of the books) as the next season is to start in March. O.M.G. it's so mesmerizing. 

If  a world wide killer pandemic hadn't happened ...

are you looking out or am I looking in?

I wrote a post yesterday about my word/goals for next year and have received the best comments ever... I felt so much less alone after those people reached out to me with understanding in comments or private emails. From my heart, thank you for your grace and friendship. HERE ...

Here's another one I did this week

I love to paint, draw, color, along with beading, sewing, knitting, reading... a long list. I love my supplies by the computer, including water soluble pencils and markers. If I want a shadow or background I can dampen the marker line with a water pen and scrub in a pale color 

Here's how they start

I've now finished my Christmas quilt center, here it ...

I like the colors of Christmas and bringing out some quilts

I love the show Survivor and this season has been fun, even though I do not understand the why the vote went that way,  annnnnnnnnd... you can watch Ponderosa on youtube where you see the jury cast offs go to wait for the end of the game vote... so fun

this juror #6 my favorite cast off, but ...

I've been quilt making!!!

I like quilt making and have been obsessed in making blocks with my fussy cut octagons this week as seen in the pic above. Lots of little leftover scraps add up to a beautiful quilt... like life

 I like watching videos about art supplies to give as gifts for holidays 2021...

it gave me ideas for things I might want like a sketchbook of watercolor paper that I can do small paintings on and they will ...

it's beginning to look like Christmas!

Welcome to this week's list of likes...and I start with the incredible change in our weather, which we do not like.  

we put up some outdoor Christmas lights, 

which caused us to have to trim bushes, which led to clearing out old leaves from under them and around the rocks, and 5 bags of debris from just around the house not the entire yard. We've raked several times already and hardly have trees but each bush drops them too. Since we are still sheltering in place, we didn't even ...

I like doodling on the calendar page with a bold brush marker

Welcome to this week's list of likes... on Thanksgiving Day this time...there is always something to like, something good that happens, something beautiful that shows itself, a small gesture maybe done by a family member, a phone dropped but not broken, a meal that turns out better than you expected, a good movie you happen upon, the sound of silence or nature after the loud neighbors drive off... 

today is slightly different than usual... let's start with the videos by soulpancake... all really worthy of ...

 welcome to this week's list of things I liked! 

yep from 74 to a high of 39F  and headed back up

love the bright turquoise of our new sprinkler!

dusk

welcome to this week's list of likes!  

the above picture is to make note of the gorgeous way we could see the sliver of a moon with venus this week... I have had jewelry with this pairing before. I thought it was stunning through the twiggy trees 

I like that my little canon point and shoot camera could take these shots...

 admittedly I am not keen to change from DST back to darkness so early in the evening. It's cooled off here in high country but it was near 80 this weekend. In November. In Colorado. This ...

I loved how this pic captured color line and texture as well as season

I like the balance of this photo in line/color/texture

 Welcome to this week's list of likes

this little lotion bottle now holds tiny bouquets

not our trees but in the 'hood

our tree had it's leaves blown off

I like cold drinks even in winter, and love using these rubbermaid containers to hold cinnamon iced tea and filtered water...

I signed up for a 10 day free creativity event... all ...

 welcome to this week's list of likes... My mums were very pretty this week and the weather was cool enough to sleep for the most part. We have had record heat for a record length of time this year and this is the forecast for next Monday, which means our bedroom will be even hotter as opening windows in the evenings doesn't seem to make up for the sun's heat during the day

every day I check the forecast, and Monday's temp started at 77, then went to 79 now is 82, so it might be ...

 Welcome to this week's list of likes... I like pumpkins and we have one... just one this year as we had to order it to be delivered. I like mums too.

I love cooler weather and we finally got cool, er, below freezing at night actually causing some distress over the sprinkler system and the mums survival. We were nearly 80 last week, then a freeze warning Wednesday night. Colorado keeps you wondering...

the unfiltered sun hits our bedroom all day so it's always hotter than the outside despite open windows, so we're okay with cold weather ...

 Welcome to this week's list of likes... small likes add up, don't they?

we put out a few decorations

Night

and got some mums for the back porch.

This week we made chicken souvlaki's with greek potato salad for lunch and had enough for two days worth

I call it ...

And I like that my wildflowers in patio pots are holding on. We just got some mums to plant too.
 

The tomato is the same size it was last week, but the pepper is a leeeetle bigger. 

It's cooler today, more normal temps for Colorado the last day of September and I LOVE IT! Whew! (oh it will be warmer in another day, but for today...) The 4 months of ...

I like my Maryland flamingo is still flapping

We had a respite of 2 days of cool (more normal)  weather this week and I needed it to sleep better. We are back to another week ...

it became a table cloth for the kitchen table!! I figure no worries, it's still just fabric hemmed on the ends and could be used in future if I needed it. for now it makes me smile even though it's "busy" 

 I have found lovely recipes to try but am waiting til it's not in the 90's F here (did I mention it ...

Welcome to this week's really short list of likes!

I'm still here, sweating in nearly 100F heat instead of the usual more temperate September temps. It makes me very testy. I am sewing and painting... I've continued to do a 5 min painting each morning while I have my coffee. I've finished three small quilted works. 

I'm listening to the next book in the Kilts and Quilts series on audio while in studio. 

I'm taking my time to ...
