Watching the Ride in Awe

A child and his mom watching one of the rides at the West Texas Fair and Rodeo.  

Just look at the great expression on the boys face.

Antique Roller Skates

I spent untold numbers of hours skating on skates like these with my friends.  Those were good days.  I miss them.

Kids today will never know the joy of having a skate key on a string around their neck and the hours of sheer joy spent on skates like these.

My heart is grateful today:

for the time I spent with the grandkids while their mom and dad were away from the house.

My Quilt

I started this quilt about 22 years ago.  I think it was A Block A Month sold by JoAnn Fabric.  I remember putting all the blocks together and then they just sat in my sewing stash for years.  One day I got motivated and put the blocks together to create the quilt top and then that sat in my stash for years.  

I finality decided it wasn't doing anyone any good in a drawer, so I bit the bullet,  paid to have it quilted and voila.  Now I just need to put the ribbing around the edges and I can leave it on my bed.  

Procrastination is a dreadful thing.

I'm happy today for:

my sewing machine that has provided hours upon hours of creative joy
