Have a bite!

Photo A Day April 2, 2014--In My Hand

 Tried several things "in my hand" but none of them seemed to work very well.  Then Shyla came out for what's turning out to be her daily petting session, and there was my inspiration.

I opted for the "action" shot although the stop-motion one is a prettier view of her sweet little face.

What do you think?

Photo A Day April 1--Something Purple

 aka, here we go again!

So today's prompt was "something purple."

Hmmm, I have purple yarn on the swift.

Nope, doesn't photograph purple enough.

Keep looking...

How about the purple batik I'm considering as a back for a quilt?

Hmm... doesn't photograph very purple.

Oh well, it's Tuesday and class night at the shop.

There should be something purple there...maybe a row of bolts of purple fabric?

Oh, wait!

Photo of the Day--Something Purple!

Photo A Day February 5, 2014--Square

Squares and more squares. The ruled cutting board helps me cut my pieces squared up, so my quilt squares will fit together the way they are supposed to!

Photo A Day February 3, 2014--Something Orange

Well, they're orange all right--oranges on my own little tree! It came with the house, along with another tree with yellow fruits that we thought were lemons. Nope, they're grapefruit! Small juicy ones, so good for juice but not so much for eating.

Photo A Day February 2, 2014--Favourite

My very favorite boycat--HiHi. (I have a favorite girlcat, too,) Picking a favorite anything is really hard for me. I just can't do it. I hate it when I come back from a trip or see a play/movie/quilt show/whatever, and someone asks me what I liked best. It's like asking which kid is my favorite--I have a favorite oldest son, and a favorite younger son, and a favorite oldest daughter, etc etc. They're all different and all have their special place in my heart.

So, this month so far? Not prompts I can relate well to. Guess I'll have to see how the rest of the month goes!

Photo A Day February 1, 2014--You

So I'm going to give this a try again--which ought to be a challenge, since this is likely to be a busy month. Ah well--here's Day One, my least favorite prompt, one that is rather painful in a lot of ways. So here's me, doing a selfie in the bathroom mirror. Yeah, for someone who doesn't like mirrors, I sure bought a house with a lot of them!

Some new books on quilting...one on historical quilts and two on modern quilts. Consistency? Me? Have you met me?

From my perspective, this is a perfect margarita! No mixing or measuring or fussing, just a B&J margarita-flavor over crushed ice. Refreshing!

Finished up two little sweaters for my granddaughters today, which means that this project is half DONE. There are two more in progress for my grandsons. Now, back to knitting sleeves...

These shoes are made for walkin'--and they certainly have enough miles on them!

No, I'm not reading-monogamous. This doesn't include the two Kindles, each of which has a book I'm in the middle of reading.

There is a theme of "red" in my kitchen! The red coffeemaker didn't make it into the picture, however.
