I Like 2019-#13

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.

I like 2019 -#10

I missed last weeks post.
I am not sure why...

I like Spring

I like Spring weather, but
mostly, I like the flowers




Especially flowers that come up in
surprising places...like in the 
middle of our lawn.


We removed a flower bed from this area
many years ago...must of missed some
flower bulbs...

I like a new challenge


I am doing the Instagram 
#the100dayproject

You set your own challenge for 
what creative project you will do for
100 days.

I will be doing something sewing
related that will be given away.
I will be doing multiple little
projects.

I am listed as
always_ suzi_ homemaker
