I like-#19 2019

This was my post for last week, but if

you go back and see, I had a much

more exciting post...

So...here it is...

I Like Nature and Art

A friend sent me these images of 

real leaves that an artist crocheted

together. Amazing!

I like different types of Art

Beautiful sand designs!

I like a nice Dinner in Nature

My Husband and I celebrated our

wedding anniversary at Taggart's.

It is a restaurant up a 

Canyon from us. Everything

is homemade and grilled.

You can eat inside or out on the

patio. There are peacocks

wandering...this is Princeton.

They have two dessert displays.

This one is the cakes and cheesecakes.

The other has cookies, brownies

and dessert bars.

So yummy!

I love...

our newest granddaughter, Miss O.

So sweet!

front porch.

backyard, so no garden this year)

I have been taking meds where I could not

operate machinery...including a sewing machine.

After six weeks, I made

another block for an auction quilts

hosted by LeeAnna!

I like my yard blooms

The iris are blooming like crazy!

  

With all the rain, our strawberry

patch is bursting with strawberries!

I like the Amish store

My husband loves deli meat and cheese

He especially loves hot cheese, which they sell.

I like the canned foods

I like trying new things

The Amish store has a mining area

You buy a bag of dirt, put the dirt in the 

holder...

then swish it in the running water.

We found all sorts of pretty stones.

I like my 100 days of Summer project

Each year, I do a 

100 day of Summer project

from Memorial to Labor day.

This year, the theme is "Try new things"

I have been collecting men's ties

and want to do a quilt project with them

       I found this image on Facebook.

Amazing!     

I like Rainbows             

 

With all the rain, 

we were rewarded with 

a beautiful double reward

I Like #15-2019

I like the Spring Blooms             

Purple flowers blooming on the Ivy

Bush coming back from severe snow burn.

My Husband wanted to pull it out last

year, but I wanted to give it a little longer

to re-grow...and it did.

Iris...one of my favorite flowers,

These blooms are pass down bulbs 

from my Great-Great Grandmother.

I like a new knit project

I have been attempting to use up most of my

fiber storage..not buying more...but...

I could not resist this yarn

It is from Deborah at

https://candyshoppeyarns.com/

Lastly, I like hand sewing

I have been battling some health problems

(that's why I did not post last week)

which makes it so I can't always

do everyday things, but

I can always hand sew.

These sheep are going to my

knit and crochet group friends.

I like 2019-#14

I like unusual buildings

I love architecture, but I really

enjoy unusual designed buildings

I like Spring flower bulbs

The daffodils are done, so next up,

are the tulips

I have folks ask all the time if the tulips

(pictured below) are black.

Nope...just very deep purple.

I like photos of the Earth

Last week I posted about a internet

site called Earth Porn...and how I disliked

the name of site....

This week, I found a different

site called Earth Photos.

Stunning photos of nature

with a nicer name.

I like car shows

My Husband is restoring a 

1956 Chevy Bel-Air

and is getting close to picking

the two tone outside color

I especially like this

pearl and grey combo.

I enjoy reading everyone's "I Like" posts at

Thanks for hosting us, LeeAnna.

I Like Spring blooms

The Daffodils are fading, but the tulips

are beginning to show their colors.

We have strawberries planted within our

flowerbeds. They are beginning to set

flowers too.

Nothing better than fresh berries 

for breakfast!

I like Nature photos

I like to travel, but do not always have 

the funds. I discovered a website called

Earth Porn (yeah, hate the name)

that posts photos of Nature.

I change my cover photo on Facebook

regularly using their photos.

I like  FutureLearn

FutureLearn is an online college

class site. You can take classes in

all different subjects...some of them free.

I am finishing a class about

England's King Richard III.

It has been interesting learning about

the way writing-printing came to be

and how class levels changed.

What do you like today?

I Like 2019-#12

I like....

I like the bursting of Spring!

We have been getting inches and inches of rain

and snow the last few weeks

I had put out our cement seagull decorations.

The ivy is swallowing one of them up!

The cat is still kind of spooked when she passes by...

I like solving a mystery.

I didn't do much to solve it, but rcently,

my DNA test at Ancestry.com connected me

to the person who fathered my bio Mother.

She never knew him and I was given up

for adoption, so it is interesting to

have a three generation connection.

I like Instagram

I recently joined Instagram to

participate in the #the100dayproject.

Each person chooses a project to do for

100 days....some are art related...some are

personal based. I am doing 100 days of 

sewing for others

I have not been perfect on posting

each and every day, but I am enjoying

this project. I am cleaning out some

boxes of fabric and using up patterns.

I like my kids

I know this has been on my "I Like" list

before, but it is a good reason to repeat.

(family reunion about 10 years ago)

I have been going through some personal

challenges the last while, and my daughters

have been a great support to me.

I have been blessed with great kids!

I Like 2019-#11

I like that other "I Like" posters share

I have learned about great reads and podcasts.

One of my favorites is   

The characters are lovely, along with

their stories, all wrapped up in quilting.

It makes me want to research the

block patterns and recipes they reference.

I like a finished project

My Husband spent his Spring Break 

refinishing some furniture.

This is our new China Cabinet

When I was a teenager, it was my

bedroom dresser.

The second one is a dresser we found

at a thrift store for $10

It is now our family room storage

(movies, exercise equipment, toys)

I need to take a photo with the new

hardware on it...

I like when a plan comes together

I taught a class on variations of the

9-patch quilt block. 

I am not comfortable with teaching

at all....not my thing....but,

it seemed to go well.
