Day 142 of 2026

I feel like these socks are coming along like

 The Little Engine That Could. 

I'm done with the heel flaps 

and these adorable little pink heel turns on both socks. 

Now I am going to be chugging away

 at the gusset decreases for a while, 

but I know if I keep chugging, I'll get there.

I'll let you know when I get to the straight foot section. 

If you weren't sure, 

the picture yesterday shows magnetic water balloons.

 

Day 141 of 2026

We're having a family gathering on Sunday. 

I'm hoping the weather is nice so we can use these. 

Do you know what they are?

 

Day 112 of 2026

I went to the back yard

 to check out the progress on my lilac bush. 

While most of the buds are not open, 

there are buds covering the entire plant 

and the fragrance is amazing. 

The answer to the latest What is it? post is Clue, Live on Stage!

It was fast, funny and fun.

 

Day 108 of 2026

Well, here we are again. 

It's date night. 

I'm sure by now I don't have to ask Where am I? 

because clearly it's the theater. 

The question then is What is it? 

Can you tell what we are seeing tonight?

 

Day 16 of 2026

Where am I? What is it? 

It appears I am about 3 or 4 behind 

on answering the Where am I? and What is it? questions.

 I'll wait until the end of the weekend to give you some time to answer 

and then I will answer all of them 

and link back to the original questions.

 

347 of 2025

I would ask where am I, 

but it seems pretty obvious that I am at the theater. 

I took GB#2 to see a show for her birthday. 

So the question for the day instead will be 

what show are we seeing?

What is It?

 

Day 278 of 2025

The answer to What is It? from Monday is this:

1. Superman

2. Indiana state flag 

3. Captain America

4. ThunderCats

5. Captain America

 

Day 272 of 2025

I made a quick trip into a Goodwill store over the weekend

 looking for a piece of furniture and an IU t-shirt. 

I came away with an IU shirt that may need some altering 

and no furniture that met my needs. 

In the search for the shirt I kept coming across other t-shirts 

that seemed to be suitable for another trip to Comic-Con 

if we make it there again. 

In the basket are the five shirts I bought. 

One is specific to me (not comic related) 

and the other four are more commercially known. 

Can you tell what they are? The top one is your first big clue. 

Let's number them left to right, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

So let's do a What Is It? 

 

Day 212 of 2025

The answer to yesterday's question, what is it?, is pee pee teepees. 

I made a whole stack of them

 as they come in handy for diaper changes of newborn boys. 

Those with boys will know what I'm talking about.

Say hello to our newest, GB#6.

 

Day 211 of 2025

I made it to my sewing  machine for a little bit today. 

I made this little thing. 

I also finished the stack under the scissors. 

Do you know what they are? 

What is it? 

Answer quickly as I may give you the answer tomorrow.

 

Day 55 of 2025

Old toys. 

We have lots more of these. 

They  are about 2 1/2" tall. 

They each came with their own sleeping bag. 

Do you know what they are? Did you have any? 

What is it?

 

Day 35 of 2025

Tonight's amazing sky.

Also, this What is it? was indeed one of the charts generated 

when photos of my retina are taken at each visit to the retina specialist. 

The red/orange spots are not a good sign. 

Treatment was necessary. 

You're on a roll, Joanne.

 

Day 27 of 2025

It is very hard to take a nice clear picture of a computer screen. 

This is the best I could do. 

The big question is do you know what this is? 

So let's play What is it?

 

Day 323 of 2024

Carpet installation is complete. 

Thank you, Bridget, for the reminder to reveal What is it? 

Yes, it was beef stew. 

I combined the ingredients of two different recipes I found on Pinterest,

 and after browning the meat and sautéing the onion and garlic, 

I cooked it in the Instant Pot. 

It was really good and it made an excellent meal, 

leftover lunch and another dinner. 

Unfortunately, I never got a picture of it.

 

Day 317 of 2024

This is the only picture I took today. 

It's the grocery list for the ingredients I did not already have

 in the house for tonight's meal. 

Let's make this a what is it? 

What am I making for dinner?

Day 272 of 2024

What is it?

I am working through everything in my closet and my dresser. 

I came across a bin which contained some long forgotten jewelry.

 My unexpected job was silver polishing. 

I find it easier to put the cloth across my leg 

and rub the silver piece across the cloth 

rather than trying to rub the cloth on the small pieces. 

It creates quite a mess on my hand, 

but it is quite an effective method and washes off easily.

 

Day 269 of 2024

I worked on an unplanned job today. 

What is it?

 

Day 93 of 2024

It's time to go home, but first I have a couple updates for you. 

The two bags I made before our travels made it here with us

 and were given to Little E and L. 

They are meant to be used as dice bags which is what they will do. 

Because there are mesh divided pockets inside 

they could also be used for jewelry as was guessed on the What is it? post.

My goal of making the crocheted Wednesday doll did not happen. 

No matter what light I tried to work in, including bright daylight, 

it was impossible to see my stitches when working with the black yarn. 

I stopped my efforts and brought all the pieces with me. 

I offered it to Little E to make if she wished. 

She took up the challenge and finished it just after we departed. 

GB#1 was delighted to find that the figure was actually for her.

Day 75 of 2024

I've been working on some little gifts. 

I'm very happy to be finishing some things ahead of time. 

Does anyone want to guess what these will be used for? 

What is it?

 

Day 247 of 2022

I'm making a couple things. 

Do you know what they are? Have you made one before? 

What is it?
