I Like Thursdays: February 27, 2025

 

Hello!

It's Thursday and this week I actually remembered to post for "I like Thursdays" hosted by LeeAnna.

All hail!  Lucky, King of the Couch!

I like Lucky.  I'm the person who loves him the most and he knows it.  As a stray that we rescued, he has his challenges.  He isn't very interested in pleasing us and it makes training more difficult.  I've learned to avoid other dogs, have him on a short leash, and generally avoid most people.  Many of my neighbors love and accept that he will probably always jump and mouth their hands.  

I tell most folks to stay away from him but many don't want to believe me because he is cute.  Some actually have said to me, "why do you have a dog like that?"

I always tell these folks the same thing:  everyone--especially dogs and children--deserved to be loved and cherished.  This response seems to make some folks uncomfortable but that's my philosophy.

I like that it's gotten warmer.  

The snow is almost all melted and I am praying we don't get anymore ice or snow this season.

Lucky and I are taking more frequent and longer walks.  It's doing us both good!

Other than that, I'm just hanging in the sewing room and getting things done.  Hope you are having fun sewing as well!

Have a safe and happy day!

Greetings!  Welcome to another "I like Thursdays" post.  Our theme is sponsored by LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color and you can read other positive posts there!

Well, everyone around here LOVES that the Eagles won the Super Bowl.  Tomorrow is the Super Bowl Parade in Philly.  Should be a great day!

I like these YakTrax cleats.  I have to walk Lucky in order for him to go to the bathroom.  I have no idea where these cleat things came from but I found them in a closet.  THEY WORK!  We've had so many days of ice and these keep me from falling.  I love them and just bought a pair for my brother.

The Phillies and most baseball teams have reported for Spring Training.  I can almost smell spring--and it is only 34 days away!

Wishing you a safe and happy day!

Friday Finishes

 

Hello!

I finished 2 baby quilts that used the same pattern.  I wish I could remember the name but I must have seen a tutorial on youtube.  I don't seem to have a pattern printed but it was very easy and a way to make a two color quilt.

I also made a table runner for Karen using leftover blocks from the quilt I made for her.

Wishing you a safe and happy day!

It's "I like Thursday" sponsored by LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color.  Visit her website and the other participants!

It's a snow an ice day here in the Valley and the schools and a lot of other places are closed today.  I can't walk Lucky and he is not a happy puppy today.  I'll brave snow but not ice.

So the first thing I like is that there are only 44 days until spring!

I'm enjoying a few tv shows including "All Creatures Great and Small", "The Repair Shop", and a few youtube sewists' channel.  

I've returned to hand sewing and am really enjoying it!  There are times that my left hand will bother me even though it's not my primary hand.  I still need surgery on that hand but I'm not letting that stop me!  It's too much fun!

Our prompt this week is what is the most exciting thing we've done so far??  Well raising a child is huge part of that but I've also enjoyed traveling in Europe years ago.  I particularly loved I Italy.  I have to admit, I'm not so interested in excitement but peace and quiet.  

Wishing you a safe and happy day!
