I Like Thursdays: November 20, 2025

 


Greetings and welcome to another edition of "I like Thursdays"!!  You can see other positive posts at LeeAnna's blog, Not Afraid of Color.

I like this gladiola:


The flower bloomed a few weeks ago.  We've had temps below freezing, high winds, and even some snow flurries on Monday night.  This plant just keeps on standing there.  It's become a neighborhood favorite for the walkers.  We can't believe it is hanging in!


Across the street, my neighbor adopted a beagle puppy.  She loves beagles and he was just a wee thing about 2 months ago.  He's growing now and named "Picasso".  Lucky knew he was there since Picasso moved in.  But I wouldn't let him meet him until one night this week.

Both dogs waged their tales like crazy.  Picasso bayed like any self-respecting beagle.  Then he began to approach Lucky.  As soon as Lucky moved, he ran back to his mommy and hid.  Then he would come back out...howl like crazy and repeated the process.  Neither my neighbor or I could stop laughing and Lucky thought it was fun too.  I'm hoping one day they become friends!

Lana's prompt this week is:  "Do you remember making construction paper turkeys in elementary school?  using your own hand? coloring them in or pasting on cut out colored feathers? taking them home and having a parent put them up in the house?"

I don't remember this at all but I do remember my daughter and grandkids doing the hand-turkey craft.

Wishing you a safe and happy weekend!

I Like Thursdays: November 13, 2025

 

Greetings and welcome to another edition of "I like Thursdays"!
Hosted by LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color, you can visit her blog for a list of all the happy bloggers this week!

I like this meme😁:


I like cleaning my sewing room after a big project!  I spent the weekend cleaning and organizing!




Brad and I had to go to north for an appointment.  I like that we could have pick up a pizza and have lunch with our friends Beth and Bob.  It was so much fun!

Lana's Prompt this week is do we decorate for Thanksgiving?  I don't really decorate much for any holiday anymore.  Once the grandkids grew up it wasn't as important to me.  I do a few wall hangings at times and will have to post photos of that soon.

Wishing you a safe and happy weekend!

I Like Thursdays: November 6, 2025

 


Greetings and welcome to another edition of "I like Thursdays" hosted by LeeAnna of Not Afraid of Color.

This week we changed the clocks back.  I don't really mind this year.  The first half of the day is when everything happens here and I'd much rather have sunshine in the morning.  

Weather wise, we were grateful that we received some rain last week.  Unfortunately it was so windy afterwards that much of the soil dried out quickly.  Between the rain and the snow, a lot of leaves fell.  It reminded me of this meme:πŸ˜€


I finished a top this week!  I've been working on it this fall. This will be a donation quilt.

I'm now working on cleaning the sewing room again.  Those 2.5 inch squares generated a lot of lint and thread.  But it was so worth it because I used so many of the squares from my scrap box!

Lana's prompt this week is:  "Do you like podcasts?  Can you recommend any?"


Honestly, I'd rather listen to music when I'm in my sewing room.  But if I do listen to a podcast, my favorite podcast is "Haptic and Hue".  The podcast focuses on textile history.

Wishing you a safe and happy weekend!
