I like 2019-#2

I like....

I like the power of Sisterhood

I have three important groups of women

in my life. 

First, the ladies at my Church.

Second, the ladies of my Quilt Guild

And third, the ladies of my knit group.

Each group came together because of their

shared love of God, fabric or Fiber.

They have become a supportive part

of my life. We have gone through life's 

happy and sad experiences together. I

love these ladies!

Currently, I have some health challenges

in my life for myself and other family 

members. I have been feeling kind of

discouraged, but then I decided to be

positive....it can always be worse...right!

I love our group post every Thursday

of "I like" lists. It's nice to read the positive

when you don't always feel it.

Slow Sunday Stitch 2019-#1

Welcome 2019!

This first Sabbath of the year 2019

has come in snowy and cold. After

Church, my plan is to snuggle under

a quilt and stitch Sheep....

(Ah...can't figure out how to turn the

sheep the correct direction....) 

The pattern is from a Nativity I made

for this past Christmas. (Post Here) I was working

on the French knots at my knit group

meeting and all the ladies fell in love

with the little Sheep.

I told them I would make them one

AFTER Christmas...my hands just

can't do hours and hours of 

hand stitching anymore.

I need to make about a dozen.

I am looking forward to a 

wonderfully creative 2019.

Join other hand stitchers over at

Kathy Quilts

to see some beautiful projects in progress.

First "I like" post of 2019,,,,

let the positivity flow....

I like Blogland

I like having access to all sorts of

blogs to read and learn by...so many

different people out there sharing

their loves and lives.

Most blogs I follow are related to:

fabric, quilting, knitting, homemaking

skills, travel, reading, positive thoughts

I had lunch this last week with a

blog friend, Deanna, from

Wedding Dress Blue

I had been following her blog for

quite a while and we had emailed

back and forth....realized we lived

not to far from one another.

We had lunch, fabric shopping and

talked for quite a while.

I like doing family history-genealogy

I am an adopted person who meet

some of my biological people nearly

20 years ago. I was given some info

about grandparents and half siblings

and became interested in the World

of Family History.

(paternal grandmother...I have her eyes)

It is like an on-going mystery...you

find that your grandparents lived

in one area, but their parents were

born somewhere else. You can track 

the life history of an individual with kids

and marriages and careers and

even deaths. I love History, so

genealogy is fun for me.

I like sleeping in....

I know, a strange item to have on my

 list, but there it is...

I have sleeping problems...have for

many years. I am trying to get my

body on a natural sleep schedule.

The doctor recommended I try

sleeping when I feel like it for

a couple of weeks, instead of 

trying to stay on a strict schedule.

So...I have been sleeping in...

I like the Rose Parade

We have the tradition of watching the
Rose Parade from Pasadena, California
every New Years Day.

When I was a kid, we went to see the
parade live. One year we sat in the
stands in front of the Bank of America
building (my brother worked there).
Another year, my dad put pads on the
tops of 6 foot ladders and we sat
on them...great view over the
heads of the crowds.

I like Mermaids

and I like this beach photo

my child sent me.
