Nothing But Shoddy Excuses

That's all I have. Piles and piles of shoddy excuses for not blogging. My main semi-legit excuse is that my card reader isn't working and the pictures I post from my phone go to Twitter, Instagram, Tumbler and Facebook but not Blogger and it's not much fun for me without visuals.

Also having motivation problems, I've been very upset these past few months due to my children having issues. Everyone I know is having issues of their own. It's hard to blog with so many issues flying around everywhere. I hate to be gloomy Gus so let's just not talk about any of it, ok?

I did complete the ICAD challenge. Yay n stuff. It was fun and I'll prolly join again next year. The junk journals are still progressing. I found one I started a couple of years ago. It's huge and boy have I come a long way in art journaling. I am adding to it with collage so it's looking better. Gee wish I could show you some pictures. *sigh*

I'm working on a large quilt from baby clothes for a client in Milford. I need to buckle down and get that done so I can do two more for her. NOT TAKING ORDERS AT THIS TIME. Maybe after September.

Chris did you get my text? If you did not get it please email me.

Forgotten Poems Day 3

Indigo Blue       Oct 7, 1981

This is of promises
Turned indigo blue
Whenever it happens
I think of you
The times that we had
Still shine in my head
There are so many things
I wish I had said
And then when the ocean
Turns indigo blue
Again I find myself
Thinking of you
The words and the silences
Were one between us
The touching, the holding
And sometimes the lust
No one understood
How we felt, me and you
In our own little world
Of indigo blue

 It's a secret who this is about but there are more poems dedicated to that person coming up. Looking back, yeah I'm seeing why it didn't work, but man was it painful for a few intense years wondering what could have been.

100 Days of Doilies Day 89

I must have made this pattern at least once before because there were marks on it but I can't remember doing it. I also had to look for a picture online so I could see what I was getting into as the picture was AWOL. Daybreak by Elizabeth Hiddleson.

The middle blue is lighter. So pretty.

100 Days of Doilies Day 82

I thought I was all done photographing doilies at Deb's house when lo and behold I spotted another one I made in the bathroom!!! Pineapple fan. I made a ton of these and I still have the pattern.

100 Days of Doilies Day 64

Emmy has this shutter in the kitchen with cool stuff on it. Next to it is this other hangy thing with doilies on it. Here's one of my favorites. I had to hold it up so you can read it.

100 Days of Doilies Day 44

This is the mate to the other square one I did for my mom but guess what? I had dye left over from the great food coloring experiment so now it's BLUE!!!! I love it. I love all my doilies, I really do.

Beret (BURRRR_RAY) and Neck Gator from Blue Yarns 9/365

Remember the pile of blue yarn from THIS POST? This is something I made from that. Also used three whole buttons out of one of my button boxes w0000t!

 I will have these in my etsy shop later.
