Day 181 of 2016

Downtown construction. 
Construction is one of my favorite things. 
It's too bad it was late and the workers were nowhere to be found.

M has found that a personal size, microwave mug cake 
makes a great, easy late night snack.

Day 172 of 2016

You would think I was going away for weeks, not just a couple of days.
And this is just the sewing stuff.

Day 170 of 2016

Another season of Symphony on the Prairie kicked off this weekend. 
Among other things, the orchestra played 
Dvorak's Symphony No. 9, "From the New World." 
It is one of my all time favorites.  
I have heard this piece a million times both live and recorded, 
but tonight it almost made me cry.

Day 169 of 2016

I'm running a little late but I am so excited to be
sewing for a boy.

Day 168 of 2016

When gathering with friends for a quilting getaway, 
I always find it necessary to cut, pack and bring way more projects 
than I can possibly get done in the time allotted.  
You never know. 
I might be especially speedy or I might get bored. 
Or I might go home with all the projects still in their bags. 
I hope not.

I am sending some greetings out of the country. 
Pretty stamp. 
Let's see how long it takes.

Day 165 of 2016

This is how I bind. 
 (I realize, based on pictures and people I have seen, many may say I do it upside down.)
As I generally only bind in the evening after dinner, 
this one seems to be taking a long time. 
It's rather large.
I am going to make a push and hope for a finish sometime this week.

Day 161 of 2016

Yesterday's baking yielded a gluten free shortcake 
which I put under my strawberries and toppings 
this morning at the annual strawberry festival downtown the circle. 
I called it breakfast.

This view is from after 9:30 this evening. 
It's not even close to dark. 
It's just not right.

before it gets miserable this weekend and next week.

This boy (GB#3) has every reason to smile. 
It is his birthday.  Yes, he's two. 
The cake was fabulous. 
It was a great day.
