Day 223 of 2026

I was not able to attend Flock Fiber Festival this year

 as it was too close to our San Diego trip. 

It would have involved a one day layover at home 

before flying back to the other side of the country.

M agreed to be my personal shopper 

and grab some things I had my eye on 

and to pick what she thought I would like

 when there were options.

 My happy mail arrived today 

and I am very happy with my haul. 

M is a great personal shopper.

 

Day 4 of 2024

Tonight's activity: 

Follow the prompts and draw and embellish this birdy.

 

Day 319 of 2019

Our carpet cleaning company gave us a three hour window 

in which our technician would arrive.  

Of course, he arrived just as that window was closing. 

Not sure what to do with the waiting time, 

I found myself drawing doodles on the chalkboard. 

Day 162 of 2019

I have a Pinterest board called "Fun at Grandma's House."

I had a visitor today (GB#3) and decided to try out one of my pins. 

I figured what's the use of having things saved on Pinterest to do

 if you never do them. 

So today I made Sidewalk Chalk Paint.  

It worked pretty well and was fun to experiment with.  

When R came to pick up GB#3, she joined in. 

As I was looking at my pictures to choose one for the Picture of the Day, 

I noticed I spelled Bermuda wrong. 

I feel rather silly.  

If you know me, you know that this is not ok with me. 

I mean, I even proofread my texts before sending. 

I'll try to fix it tomorrow if there hasn't been any rain to wash it away. 

The next Pinterest project has been selected.  

It's going to be great fun!

Day 142 of 2019

I'm not much of an artist but I think this is a relaxing activity.

Day 332 of 2018

I am totally obsessed with this wall. 

My phone needed a new battery. 

Guess where I spent 3 hours this afternoon. 

That's right.  Sitting on a wooden cube staring at this wall. 

Ok.  I did a little doodling. 

But mostly I obsessed about this wall.

Day 188 of 2018

Driveway doodles.

Day 88 of 2018

The upholstery on the seat back at lunch today 

seemed to be asking to be considered a pebble quilting example.  

I am thinking of sending the photo to my iPad 

for some tracing practice in a drawing app.  

Let's build some muscle memory.

Day 90 of 2017

In one of my distracted moments today...

Day 36 of 2017

The last piece of fabric I loaded onto this backing has been quilted. 

This time I did some freeform doodling. 

I love the texture it created.

Day 193 of 2016

Our afternoon activities involved sidewalk chalk. 

Everyone enjoyed although it appears I enjoyed it the most. 

We wore crowns.

Day 164 of 2016

After dinner doodling.  Use what you have.

Day 96 of 2016

Practice.

Day 363/365

 A couple days ago I watched a video on how to quilt a feather swirl by Judi Madsen, 

Ever since, I have been doodling my interpretation of it. 

I am excited to practice it on fabric soon.

Day 288/365

As M reads articles and surveys to me from the latest HGTV Magazine, 

I find myself doodling on a paper towel.
