Today Is Sunday January 31, 2020 This What Happen

 First thing I had drink this morning. I bet someone out there I start my day with an alcoholic beverage. No I start cup of water. Usual I don't do my blog in morning. But I'm going to work in early afternoon. After I have my meat loaf sandwich and a tangerine 

Not sure what I will be doing at work. But I have my five items I will be dropping off at thrift store. And one my clients has some paper work to get send back to company. As Friday we were planning light house keeping, paper work, and do some drawing. But who knows.

I did get my bobbin casing in. I forgot about lining up the two dots. Once I got the two dots together it and slip in bobbin, it pull though, like it should.

Going to take some of comments, and thank you for commenting and go more in to it. 

 One thing I talked about is cooking and when we learn. I now wonder how many measures things out. My grandmother Olive was a horrible cook. It was tuff and no flavor. Her doctor said cut back on salt and she did. No salt was what so every. But when she thought no one was looking she would sprinkle a little salt and lick it. Like when you do shot of tequila, salt, and lime. I ate there a few times and once I remember having tuff pork chops, corn, mashed potatoes with gravy. I was warned to be polite and clean my plate. I believe my parents send me over there to gag down horrible food. so in future if meal was slightly off or not 10 rating. I would appreciate food that is rate a five. My grandmother measure every thing and my mom hardly every did. I wonder if I learn that bad cook measure everything. Confession...I never was rude griping about meal or disliking something. Thought of my parents taking me to grandmothers and having meal was enough.

Yes, I spoke of conspiracy theories. My friend Qunella and I make fun of these people. I'm sure there those out there make fun of my socialistic ideals as well. The local John Birch yesterday showed a film called "Plandemic 2.0" my guess those who showed up and saw movie, was already part of choir and a super spreader. Haven't heard any news about it so far. 

Statement time...I like my ducks some what in a roll, a few feet apart that ok. But I sure don't want them more than a yard or meter apart. But I notice when someone who has there life plan right down to gnats patootie. And when it doesn't work out, they fall apart. I know a family who had schedule something like this.

7:45 brush hair, wash teeth. 7:51 get dress. 8:00 until 8:45 clean. 8:45 to 9:15 recreation. So you get picture. I would of went on strike.

Question time...What do have plan this week? As for fabrics I hope to get my piece I recently got out into strips. And do anther set of strips for up coming crochet rag rug. 

It lightly snowing here in North Idaho

Today Is Saturday January 30 2021, This Is What Happen

 

I been working on organizing my fabrics. Haven't bought any for a while. Really don't need to. I find it helps me if I share my fabrics with YOU TUBE VIDEO These fabrics I unbox has strong cologne sent to them and it gives me an asthma. Lot of time I sock them in white vinegar and water solution. We're out white vinegar. Once soak in vinegar solution I let them dry out doors and then wash them.  


The fabrics I'm airing out, not sure which one will be in my stash buster 2 inch block quilt. Ok! I know the blue, reds, and yellow will be used. What toss in color might toss in from airing out. Let just say I'm clueless. But the photo right above I will using this group of fabrics.

It been a while since I clean out my sewing machine. Last thing I did was a ironing board pressing pad, made out of terry cloth. Knowing possible a lot lint would be floating about in my machine. So I took out the bobbin casing and now for some reason, when put it in. It isn't garbing my threads and pulling it up and though. I'm 97.3% it me, I probably miss a step or something. 


Still planning to give a crochet rag rug way here on my blog. Plus I want to figure out how much fabric it takes to do one. So I'm taking math notes. 1ounce of fabric strips will make what size of crochet rag rug. Plus I use the kitchen floor square to measure the length. One square equal 13 inches.
It was my lazy day. My bullet journal sure not fancy as most. But it serves it purpose. Did quick practice of sketch of swing doors. I did choice a lazy day or more kick back day. I'm going into work for while tomorrow and working til Thursday. More like top off last week chore list.


 Got rest of my snow people, see I'm being political correct. In my new tote. It full and actual one snow person didn't fit in. I put the tree skirt and table cloth in also.

 Mr Ziggy taking one of his naps. He doesn't go out much. But twice a day he put out for little walking. quarter or half way around the house. In his hay day he caught a lot of gophers and still pretty much rules the roost.

Today Is Saturday January 29 2021, This Is What Happen

 My job controls a big deal of what I want and need to do. I keep saying 2 to 4 years I plan to draw my social security. 


Well it been ages since I took part in PAINT PARTY FRIDAY and I decided to do an A.T.C (artist trading card) I been doing so called food theme, using the alphabets. Done in color pencils and jalapeno.  

Usual I like to take both Saturday and Sunday off. Since my 2nd dose of covid is the 5th of February. Saturday is my day off, although I didn't get everything done I need or want during the week. So it strictly left over chores, maybe it something like left over food. So next week I will work Sunday thru Thursday. And have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off.

So I will go in sometime after 11pm and stay until 4pm. At this point it looks like some cleaning, mail sorting, and art. We're going to suggest something to draw. This point my will be "stillness"

I don't know why I have trouble getting back on track to develop health habits. I believe I will limited my so call naughty food to one day a week. It will be either Tuesday or Wednesday. 

Off to tread mill now.

Today Is Thursday January 28 2020, This What Happen

 Yesterday I saw post about someone wasn't aloud into the kitchen. I was aloud to cook and sew at very young age. I don't cook much any more. Hubby pretty much takes care of that. I do miss it. I get off work usual between 2 and 5 in the afternoon. Due to lateness in evening I would just toss box of something in oven. So hubby does great job of cooking. 

So we came up when I retire on even days he will cook and clean up after. Then on the odd days I will cook and clean up after. Switch off every other weekend. Not sure about holidays.

I can remember the very first thing my mother actual let me make, it was buttermilk biscuits. Lot of time when grew up when fried chicken. Instead of potatoes we had biscuits. Then usual on Saturday my mom would make big batch of cookies. And all the neighborhood kids, including my self would line up and we all got to put our ingredients into the mixing bowls. Then we all got nice hot cookie straight from oven. Nothing like homemade cookie. But the strange thing she expected a large batch of cookie to last a week. Usual my day took one to three cookies in his lunch. Not every time when came home from school they was a cookie snack, but they was snack of some kind. Maybe an orange, banana, toast with something on it. One thing my mother knew where a dollar came from. If we ran out of cookie or something that should last in her mind a certain amount of time. Come hell of high water it wasn't going to appear. Only a few times I recall my parents running out of something. Had to wait usual less few days to get what it was. My parents did there major food shopping once a month. In blue moon my parents might went and got a few items. But I could guarantee it wasn't for one, two, or three items. But after her hardness. Every Christmas she make super large batch of sugar cookies. What all sort of colored icing and pretties to put on them. The neighbor kids also join in.

If I start right off putting in first thing I eat in my fitday and I do a lot better though out the day. Less naughty foods and more movement. But I did my morning exercises and did pretty good on my water. A little under.

Today Is Wednesday January 27 2020, This is What Happen

 ,Some time I have no ideal what even to blog about. My life is pretty routine. Go to work and come home. With Covid I real don't want to do adventure out. I will get my last vaccine week from 29th. Not sure hubby will get his. I know his age group start first of February. So I went reread some of my comment and see what sort of post I can come with. 

Tomorrow it will be one week since my husband cousin died of covid. I been thinking of what to post on facebook or even twitter. My family is divided. We might be of same blood but our mind set is sure different. This entire covid is either angered or made me fearful. Although not let it take control of my life. I know a rant isn't going to do any good. And actual I have no interest in ranting. People believes what they want, and usual they might change there mind if it happen super close to home. It like why should I care about someone else it's not me!

The other day, I went post office and someone had a Trump flag hook to a pick up. To me it same as flying a confederate and or swastika flag. I ran into a goof ball, and that only word I can come up with. He claims that Obama was an Alien Reptilian from outer space. Just claim Trump got eight hundred million votes. I would guess he doesn't listen to fox news, I would guess he getting his info from anon and info wars.  

Have to say tables are staying pretty clean. I got tote to put my snow collection in. Plan to do that in morning. I don't think it right for hubby do all chores. Although there is limit to what I am willing to do. It will and should be different story once I retire.

I wish and all it for now. Or hopeful thinking. I wish my creative projects would come long quicker than they do. Confession time...I wish more time was for crafts. But I think there is called life and responsibility. What I've seen about people who sells there art and such. It up and down business. I have thing about having study pay check. Might sound strange. 

Going to cut more strips for rag rug. 

Coffee is on and take care.

Today Is Tuesday January 26 2020, This Is What Happen


 Not sure when it will happen, but I decided to make a crochet rag rug. Give it away on my blog. Two reason I am doing it. I like my blogger friends and I need to figure the math out for crochet rag rug. I got my first 15 feet (mm) 4.5  strips cut. It won't be while but I'm leaning toward reopening my esty page. I need get my crafts more organized.

This morning I took Regis in for 8 AM Scan on his pancreases. My stomach had growlers and I didn't sleep all that well. As he went in. I stayed in car. See I was up every two hours peeing. Plus they couldn't find a vain on Regis to run the contrasting dye though.


10 items down, red glasses I drop off at our local animal shelter. As I was taking Regis home. The lower photo is what I will be dropping off tomorrow 

My three cleaning project was main bathroom mirror, toaster was mighty sticky and yukky. And also I clean bathroom cabinet behind bathroom. I believe I found three items that will be drop off at thrift store. 

I press out some fabrics I video tape. Sort them into two piles for now. One is pile is for to be organize and put up for later. Then my other pile will be use for my 2 inch stash buster quilt. 


Tuesday and Wednesday is usual my naughty eating days. On odds days I use the tread mill, and on even days I do mixture of exercises. Still not happy with my weight numbers. Much as I pee last night. I thought I would of been down more than I was. Morning weigh in 207.6

Today Is Tuesday January 25 2020, This Is What Happen

 Got all my major bureaucracy loose ends tide up. But I'm sure I'm not total free from it. 

I'm thinking of doing a crochet rug, and taking math notes. So I know how much supplies I actually use. It sort of floating in my head. Doing one and giving it away here on my blog.  

So I went to work, and did drop off my five items at local thrift store. If I take 5 items a day in thrift store in week I will be down 25 items. And in month 100 items. Took items that going to thrift store, some plastic glasses. Don't worry I don't have desire to be maximum or a minimize. Some place between would be nice.  

Couple things I can't quite figure out. My zip fit bit keeps resetting it self. Dongle I got with it, not even near computer. In last week or so I bought labels to put on my embroidery bobbins, so I can print color on them. Now I can't recall place that was. See I am not organized. If I was I would of known where I put labels for bobbins.

I did a VIDEO of sorting out fabrics. Next few days I will press the fabrics out I went though, and possible Saturday I will go though anther batch. Notice lighting was poor, and will try something different on my next video.

Today Is Sunday January 24 2021, This Is What happen.

 


Mainly I tied up loose ends from yesterday. I wonder why there more of mess when your sorting things. Plus every surface seems to have powerful magnet. Today I worked on the coffee table, it also has a magnet. Just brief go over and got rid of known trash. 


Day of sink scrubbing. This place only has three sink. I guess if I was going to put in anther sink it would be by the washing machine. Like always I can think of other projects. Confession time...only did two sinks.


Had a chance to go though some fabrics. Even made you tube video. Thinking it will be posted Tuesday or Wednesday. Monday I will up loaded, as I take part in live video that day. I even doubt I will chance to press any of this fabric until Tuesday. It now on back of the couch. Talking about pressing I sure hope my terry cloth pad on my ironing board works. So I am guessing these fabrics I will put them in there place. Some will be used for the throw quilt I been working on. 


See most of this is fabrics. If I make 2 to 4 video a month. My guess I should have this  current pile of fabric sorted around June.

Planning to chance my work week up a little. I usual work Monday til Friday. Saturday and Sunday off. But this time I will work next Sunday the 31st and take complete weekend starting Friday the 5th off. I will be getting my booster that day. I have personal light schedule on Monday. I need to get hold my blue cross and see if they got my tax credit and fax my last 3o days of pay to health and welfare. This will be done during my lunch hour.

Coffee is on and stay safe.

 Actual quite bit got done today. Well let see the three things I did, among other stuff. Got my dinning room table clear off, and put my Christmas Table covering put away. Vacuumed even move some of the furniture around. And clean both bathroom and kitchen sink.

Hubby went did some shopping, and never even ask what mask count was. We try to only shop once a week. Wish they had more drop off service out here. Still both of us wear N95

I'm sure there more to post, but I can't think of anything.

Today Is Thursday January 21 2020, This Is What Happen

 It feels somewhat like normal day. After my pre tax credit got taken care of for my affordable care act. Or Obama care, yea it pain in patootie. But I recall not having medical insurance. Uneasy feeling.

Well here I mention my cousin husband on a VENILATOR well late this afternoon he succumbs to Covid. It been while since I seen a lot of people. Life get busy. Like most people and family are divide, not just political.  As many of you know I have relatives who thinks it hoax and does nothing of what C.D.C recommends. But I'm fairly positive this cousin followed the C.D.C guide lines. I see her two sister in store and there masked up. They lean toward left when comes to political. One of says she wishes more would wear mask. I told her "So do I" I guess there a few things I wonder what in my cousin mind. Since we live area that mask is looked as "Stepping on person constitutional right" I guess I wonder how angry she at those who refuse to wear a mask. Plus if she will view our past president with carnage.

I finely got a bag of stuff to one local thrift store. Regis and I stop in at one of them. He bought some toys. I bought nothing. There was a nice summer purse. But decided it good day not buy and thing. Paid up some bills.

 Had connection trouble with internet last night, one would get on for a bite and then the wi fi went down. So no post from yesterday. I even did video, well here IT IS Maybe after while I will even watch it. 




Here the new lamp I got and I really like it. Only thing I wish base was a little more, but other than that I am pleased. I even got floor and took photo straight up. I can see so much better to do things.

Did get my health insurance straighten out. It was like pulling chicken teeth. A dozen calls and hope someone get back with you. We're getting an $870 month tax credit, so I can apply that to my health insurance. It look like I will pay little over $200 a month. A lot better than $1,000. But I would still like to see a one payer system. 

So glad Trump is out white house. Opinion time...I think that man should be impeach from the Senate. But those who cause the resent insurrection and they think Trump is going to come to there aid. Well they just wake up, he ain't coming and he doesn't give rats patootie.

It was craft day. It was just Regis and I we both draw. I tried to make a fabric yo yo and it just didn't work.


Had to show you this. A resent mask Regis got. He will be 60 in March it something I wouldn't order. Actual I like STEAM PUNK ART but I never have tried it.

Since the stress of my health insurance is done for anther year. Been gathering stuff up for taxes. On to things like pay bills, there a few on kitchen table. And now life can move forward, although I know it not going to be great leaps forward, but it forward.

 Up early and took my one client to the doctor. An 8AM appointment. I got up about ten to six and hubby got up earlier and made pot of coffee. 



Took my lunch down to the city parking lot. We have one electric car charger. Haven't looked closely at them. If your wondering what I had lunch, peanut butter and honey sandwich, yogurt. and orange. You can see highway 95 North.

crafts


Here our CHAMBER OF COMMERCE It looked closed. Since covid I don't know if they been open. I know our Museum hasn't.  


Start to cut strips for the quilt I'm working on. One thing I want to try is YO YO. So I got a few squares. Start to sew edge around my pressing pad to fit on my ironing board. My bobbin ran out.

Got package, will do unboxing in morning before I go into town. I need to run into our safety deposit box to get a few items. And need get some items printed and copied. Then off to Welfare office in Ponderay and hopeful I can get my A.P.T.C I understand that my tax credit is about $800 month. But my insurance blue cross hasn't received it. So I tried to get hold of department of health and welfare to find out why the tax credit hasn't been forward. If tax credit doesn't get straighten out, I will be paying little over $1,000 a month for insurance.

Also got my second shot for vaccine lined up, it happen the 5th of February. So hopeful with finger crossed I might put up video tomorrow.

Today Is Sunday January 17 2020, This Is What Happen

 It been a week of depression off and on. Usual I don't deal with depression or let say the type that will knock you for loop. Saturday I just didn't have no moo joo. Usual I found out not being active or keeping one self busy, it makes depression to seem a lot worst.

Had a few relatives who came down with covid. Some are mask wearers and others not. Well I have first cousin by marriage is in kootenai hospital down in Coeud d' Alene, on a ventilator.  I would guess they wore mask. Although not sure what type they wore.

I wear and N95 and when you could see over half people in store with no mask on. Hubby and I went to store today. I've had my shot and by next Friday the 22nd I should be 75 to 85% immune to covid, although still not taking off the mask. My next shot will be around the 5th of February. It sounds like my hubby shot will be available the first part of February. Anyhow he and I decided he going to stay home and I will handle the shopping. We can handle going to store one or two times a week. Seeing so many non mask wearers my feeling are angry and or scared.

Well making a pressing cloth out of old towels which will fit on to my ironing board. Wool might be better, but cost is pushing me to terry cloth. I have wool blankets but I can just cut them for pressing pad. I rather use wool blanket for batting.

Mention that can embroidery and made a few things though my life. But now they have a thing called SLOW STICHING 

It should be here this up coming week, our living room is poorly lighted. So I got a floor LAMP and this way I could do some my crafts as I watch T.V with my hubby.

 It been a while since I post any thing on my blog. Not much to post about, work and all of you heard about that. Not much going on there. I was going to post about "I wasn't aloud to be enabled" And I feel a jealous of those who get support and is a loud to be enabled . And all most of life had pull my self up by my own boot lace. So people who are enabled I'm some time jealous of. Then my second reaction of my jealousy is depression and or anger. It even can both 

Made short VIDEO of some SPOONFLOWER fabrics I got. During the news I press out fabrics. But I need to fix my ironing pad.

Hope this weekend I can have longer posting.

 This morning I checked my e-mail. Confession time...I'm not the best keeping up with my emails. Well I receive a email from TRUTH IN BETWEEN telling me there no conservative pen pal available at this time. I wonder if not enough conservative leaning people aren't willing to speak to liberal leaning people. Or just won't talk to them.

Work was routine. 

Since I am going to Spokane tomorrow Regis has an doctor appointment with his pancreas doctor. But since we will be in city. I made shopping list up and budget.

Today Is Sunday January 10 2021, This Is What Happen.

 Now it do time me to focus on my blog post. My mind seams to be unsettled. So as I type about my day and thoughts. Last evening I start to sew fabric stripes together. And thought I would share some of them with you all. 


This morning on CBS "Sunday Morning" they had interview with Norman Lear a well known liberal had a pen pal relationship with Ronald Regan a known conservative. If these two can communicated, it tells me there hope in our world. 

Then a while back and not sure where I heard about OUR BETTER ANGELS and I decided to reach out, for pen pal. I actual reached out in both categories, connection for those who are isolated, and political. So hopeful I am line up with someone.

The phrase been use multi of time by Shakespeare, Dickens, Lincoln, and Obama it was in different contest. But most one talked about is Lincoln FIRST INAUGURAL ADDRESS


But I have been a why person and want to know what PERSONALITY INSIGHT thought of Lincoln Inaugural address

You are heartfelt, somewhat insensitive and strict.

You are philosophical: you are open to and intrigued by new ideas and love to explore them. You are independent: you have a strong desire to have time to yourself. And you are solemn: you are generally serious and do not joke much.

Your choices are driven by a desire for discovery.

You are relatively unconcerned with both achieving success and taking pleasure in life. You make decisions with little regard for how they show off your talents. And you prefer activities with a purpose greater than just personal enjoyment.


Start to put up my snow people and for some reason I don't have enough totes. Well checked two and thought some how I could combine fabrics. To much fabric and hassle. So I order anther one from Amazon. Plus got a few other things. Less dozen. More like 8 items.


The floor lamp I mention in yesterday blog. It works but it not going to work for what I want. It one of those magnet lamps. It just doesn't give out enough lamp. In a week or so I need to make decision what needs to be done with it. It something hardly used. But as our eye sight isn't as hawk. It could come in handy.


I did manage to get some embordering and my needle threader broke. Here a possibility of a quilt block could happen.

Today Is Saturday January 9 2021, This Is What Happen

 I knew I needed to take down the yule tree, it 3 days past epiphany and during the week I don't have to time take down the tree. I did enjoy the tree and all the trims around the place. Smart people limited there going out during the pandemic. We all need to find or make some joy in our lives.


Here I am about half way though of taking off the ornaments from tree and putting them in box. 


Sorting out my miniature ornaments. I like to get some more of them. I might take look though ebay, esty or amazon. But Yule is a bit off and there a other items I need or I think need more. 


Tree pretty much taken apart. 

Now the only thing to go is the snow people. I decide to wait until tomorrow to order the things I belief I need. I should have snow people put away. There a floor lamp in our basement and I want to check it out. There three things I can do with it. Use it, Toss it only if don't work, or take it to thrift store. Embroidering I can  watching T.V and spend little more time with hubby. But I need better light behind  and coming over me. 

Meant my goal of organizing the bit of bag of fabric. Not sure when I will go though my next section. I hope it before the 25th of month. Don't ask me why that date. I'm sure I will do video of my fabrics I got from SPOONFLOWER a little high price then I like to pay for fabrics, although I do believe sporting mom and pop businesses. 


Well I call these goldish or orangish colors. Maybe in my next blog I can show you some strips I sewn together.

Today Is Friday January 8 2021, This Is What Happen

 I was pretty much in disbelief on what happen at our Capital, and with these news sort these days everyone by now know what happen. It took me little time to exam how felt or still feeling. Amazed, Scared, Edgy, Relieved, Sad and I am positive there other feeling that I am unsure how to express them. But main thing Trump is he gone the 20th. Although I don't think this will be end of his cult followers. Plain and simple I just don't get the mind set or heart of true Trump supporters. I even have cousins who thinks he is best thing next to slice bread. Actual I am distance my self from those toxic Trumper like minded. Over on my facebook page I nicely ask people if they are homphoic,  Xenophobia and for Nationalism, Fascism, , or if you approve of the Insurrection act of 2021, unfriend me and block me. So far look like two have left so far, unknown who and I don't care. Plus I don't give "Rat Patootie" how one votes.  

As for loosing weight it been there but I could give it lot more. I weigh 1.6 pound less then I did last time. 

Went and got my first vaccine for covid. No trouble a little sore in arm. I would explain it as a bug bite. Then on or shortly after the 5th of February I can get my booster shot. But I am wonder how long it takes for chip in shot to work. My sons thing I am old and who knows I might wonder off,



Pretty much finished up with this around of fabrics. Well here is greens I will be using in the two inch block quilt I been working on. The orange fabrics are press and ready to be cut. What I would like to do is cut them the half way point of taking down my yule decorations. But who knows.

Today Is Tuesday January 5 2020, This Is What Happen

 

Went out and did a little shopping. Community Thrift store and down to Under the Sun. I am getting ready to send a package down to You Tubber. She does quilts and junk journal. It helping me go though my stuff and so far I stop at two of our local thrift store. Got a few items to add. One more thrift store to check out locally.

One thing about pandemic is I am getting a chance to go though things. It seems slow. But the key word is study as she goes. Since my life is work and necessary business of living. After that I pretty much stay on home front. Only got two pile of current fabric to iron and possible send down to my You Tubber friend. So it quite looking like I will have this around a fabric taken care of. 

As I was saying I went into two place and I didn't look around. But I saw I was the only one in either establishment that was wearing a mask. Neither one of places even Plexiglas between the cashier and the customer. Since it small town usual you end up chit chatting with the cashiers. As lady was ringer my items up. I ask her if the three mile antique was the only place she had her items at. She said yes and between work at store and taking care of her ailing mother it all she can handle. I am almost 61 and she older then me, and in past mention her social security check isn't all that much. But what got to me she in establishment of people don't wear mask and going to take care of her mother. Like I said I wear a N95 

This is what I am jacked about. Got record call from my employer (supervisor) and telling us. We are not able to get a covid vaccine. I need to call them and see what, where and when. I thought it would be sometime toward the end of February.



One thing I never done is make paper. And even thought it would be interesting and fun. I've googled it several time. Well when I was in the thrift store I came across a paper making kit, it was ninety nine cents.

Today Is Monday January 4 2021, This Is What Happen

 Well I can report in all honestly we didn't have a tornado. But we had sunshine, snow, rain and mixture of last two. 

In a work week I usual put in a 60 hour week. But between Christmas and New Year I put 33.25. It felt good not to put in hours. My job in home personal care giver can be draining. In general the ones I have really not all that hard. 

Clueless why this even pop into my mind. But earlier I start to think about. It seems like a test when back in day, a teacher would have couple of essay question. In general I never did well on these. Partial I understood the topic but it seems like I could get what the teacher wanted. Went and looked on WIKIPEDIA ESSAY Notice they even have several essay generators on line, that write it out. I known a few people and I mean a few who won poetry contest. I think biggest prize someone won was $50

Iron out some grey fabrics, and which didn't have many. I believe on 9 different grey or prints. Using only one. Only three pile to go though. It should be finished this week. And I could start to sew strips together.

Today Is Sunday January 3 2020, This Is What Happen


 

There is legit excuse and futile ones. This morning it clear blue sky and there were a few things needed be done. But the excuse I was coming up with, for not doing what need to be done. If one look sort of hard, one might see the moon. 

But once I got out, didn't want to come back in. Got mail from yesterday and the boxes which I meant to bring in yesterday. The extra thing I did was put some black sunflower seed in bird box. Hopeful one of these day I can get picture of Mr. Bully Bird. He sit in feeder looking out and let no birds in feeder, although he not eating him self. It might Ms. Bully Bird.

Been telling about organizing my fabrics. It been a while since I purchased any. But when I go in a thrift store or antique place I look though the fabrics. I have found some vintage or copies of vintage fabrics at antique places. We have two antique stores that handle fabrics one is THREE MILE ANTIQUE MALL and THIS OLD TRUNK






Been sorting my fabrics mainly by colors. I like corrugated plastic sheets so much better. But I have enough card board boxes that ends up serving the same purpose. Plus price is right and I repurpose and or recycling 

Usual out of less then a yard square I fold the fabrics in thirds or forth and roll them on. It working for me.


Last after noon it start to snow. Only last a short while.

Today Is Saturday January 2 2021, This Is What Happen.

 Now I am wondering if yesterday post I put the year as 2021, not as 2020. It doesn't matter. With help of one blogger pals. I now know to look under the archives of blog. Here what I wrote on this date in year of 2006 had one year in on blogging.


All of our trash cans was filled, so hubby and I went up to the sanitation land field. Well in my days it was known as the dump. The transfer station is closer. But they were close today. This is just off the highway from my home. 

It was a two stop run. The dump and to store, still not many wearing mask. But one got to eat. I am think of doing on line shopping, with curb pick up. I couldn't find my N95 mask and I stuck on a cloth one, went directly to the drug store, and bought an N95 for five dollars. 



Usual on New Year day we have blacked eyed peas soup, one main imgreites is collard greens. For meat flavoring we used salt pork. That was down in our freezer. 

Since this year new year resolution would be the same. So I am saying they our continuing on from last year, well my main hope it to do a little traveling. I have two quilt show I would like to see. Our local one and I will probably display one. Then in same month Spokane has there quilt show. The main thing I want to do is see my children and their children. But it all depends how the virus does. 

Had plan to grab some cardboard boxes out the garage/shed. And cut them to size to wrap my scrape fabric on them. Realize once I got my boots off and slippers on, that I didn't grab the boxes. Dinner was very good

2020 Report and December 2020 Report

Not sure why I can't get a link to one of my past posting. Since it first of New Year. Wanted to do sort of "This day in past post" Not saying complete toss towel, they should be easier way of doing it.

Well  I never thought I would live though pandemic and also we would be such a divide country. Not going to cover every little catagory I talk about in my blog. 

Let briefly talk about photographs. Not even sure how many pictures I taken and posted. As many you know I have stamp collection of people faces. Didn't work on much during 2020. Maybe just a little bit. There certain photos I like of people that hopes to speak and shows there character. Some time I think artist can capture this more then camera. 

Someday we all just blah blah and others could put it under rant or rave. No real subject. Don't know why we all need to just start talking. Or in blog it might be letting fingers run across the key board. I am sure they will be more blah blah 

Should be happy I can share my family with you. Grant at times they total irritate me. Mostly the hard core "Trump" supporters and or the hard core "conservative" and I'm sure my liberalism get to them. What I miss most not seeing my sons and there wives. Although made the choice because of pandemic. Hopefully once get vaccine more will open up.

So it will be done twice. Right now I am going to see what this LAST YEAR SAYS 

You are inner-directed and shrewd.

You are independent: you have a strong desire to have time to yourself. You are deliberate: you carefully think through decisions before making them. And you are calm-seeking: you prefer activities that are quiet, calm, and safe.

You are motivated to seek out experiences that provide a strong feeling of organization.

You are relatively unconcerned with both achieving success and taking pleasure in life. You make decisions with little regard for how they show off your talents. And you prefer activities with a purpose greater than just personal enjoyment.

And like most time I do the Personality in sight I talk about three of topics or categories

Self consciousness (83%) I am very self consciousness and grew up family of self consciousness. In simple way of putting it." My lord if someone saw something that just isn't just correct the world will come end" On current quilt I am doing I pretty not following any guide lines. I am having fun. Well when I told one of my family members I was going have an purple and yellow flower bed. They were worried if someone saw it and didn't like it. I am slowly getting a way from that. Who knows I might go out and play mud puddles.

Curiosity (41%) My curiosity has change over the years. Safety is important to me now. When I was younger I toss caution to wind. I like learn about people and there stories. Guess one main reason I read blogs

Challenge (6%) .Not much on challenging and or competition. There things I like to be part of and self challenge is one to improve my self. Sure I put things in the local fair. Not looking for a prize. But more of education reason of doing it. Or I call "constructive criticism" I even plan to put the current quilt I am working on. I can recall being a part of writers group and group got grant and had couple of college professors and they critique or writings. And had a few horse show judges that critique how we present our animals. I found it very helpful.


Usual in January we have melt of snow. We here call a January thaw. Well last few years in February we get hit by bunch of snow.

My first meal of day. Cream of wheat, bacon, and cup of orange juice. Oh yes. First meal of year! Notice the informality of bacon. On paper towel and ate with my fingers.


 


   Got some pieces cut for the quilt I am working on. Plus making head way in sorting and organizing fabrics. Like I said I am not planning by rules. Ok my rules! If what gingham print go by strip print side by side. I will put it there because I feel like it. 


Yesterday I got blank journal, which will be my bullet journal. It seems to be life search to find our self. I know I am working in progress. 

Time to move on to December report. So I will move quickly once again to personal insights. I won't be talking about topics and or category. 

You are inner-directed and shrewd.

You are independent: you have a strong desire to have time to yourself. You are deliberate: you carefully think through decisions before making them. And you are reserved: you are a private person and don't let many people in.

You are motivated to seek out experiences that provide a strong feeling of organization.

You are relatively unconcerned with both achieving success and tradition. You make decisions with little regard for how they show off your talents. And you care more about making your own path than following what others have done.

Sort of same between 2020 and last month, December.
