As time speeds by .....


WoW! Is the summer going fast! July is already over half way through ..... hard to believe, but it's true ........ As a child I was often told that time went faster as you age ........ now I am finding out just how true that is. I am healing well from my highflying act ........ knitting more socks ...... contemplating a fabric project or two ....... contemplating I said ....... :-) ........ keeping in contact with relatives and some friends on Facebook ....... and I did think it was time to bring my Blogger friends up to date ........ again. Two articles from the July/August 2007 Issue 13 Cloth.Paper.Scissors magazine are what has interested me in regards to fabric projects ........Graffiti Composition by Alisa Burke, and A Year Captured in Fabric by Tracie Lyn Huskamp. Both interesting concepts ..... and being 'handwork rebel' of a sort, I wouldn't be doing mine exactly as they did. Don't get me wrong ...... I admire 'sane work' but prefer 'crazy quilted' or 'patchwork' type methods ......... I like to 'colour outside the lines' nowadays. Spent many years of my youth 'colouring inside the lines' to please the adults.

Hubby arrives home again tomorrow evening and will be off on vacation for the following week. His vacation this year will be spent in the woods finishing up cutting and hauling out wood, and catching up on the lawns, both here and at the cottage. A 'working vacation' ........ No trip to MO this year ....... or to the Blue Ridge Mountains ....... :-( ........ maybe next year ....... :-) ........ Oh yes, he'll also be spending time on his radios. Being a Canadian Amateur Radio Operator he loves to make contacts around the world.

The songbirds are busy here this morning taking turns at the feeder and perching in the trees singing. I woke to fog earlier but it has burnt off to overcast skies with a touch of blue. A while ago a hummer arrived at their feeder on the window and she had her half grown baby with her. Showing the little one the ropes.
Have a happy and blessed day wherever you are .........

A more true title is rare to find - not all those who wander are lost- and in turn, not all those that wonder should remain lost. keep the blogging up
