Really pink

The pattern is a Miss Rosie’s pattern –  Sweet Tea.  The pattern quilt uses a pink background and I decided to screw up my courage and use the pink, too.

Wow.  It is really pink.

It is also made up of a bazillion 4 patches, and I’m pretty much over making them, but the units are all cut, so I’m powering through them in the evenings.  The day times are spent slaving away over the quilting machine.  Nothing to show at the moment, no pictures of one (yet…), and I’m not ready to show the other (yet…).  Everything else has been boring meanders.

Tomorrow starts the Journal Your Christmas project, and I’m going to take another stab.    I did a complete journal in 2007, but only got about 3 days done last year.  If you are interested in participating (and people do it in all different ways, from really fancy paper scrapbooks, to simple written journals), you can visit Shimelle’s website.


So that’s what I’m up to.  What kind of trouble are you getting in to?

    The little ‘someone ought to’ comment on your photo made me laugh. I’ve said that many times too! I love the pink.

Instagram post 2196566338359576256_15732201 My people wanted new socks for our upcoming ski trip, so I found some @darntoughvermont ski socks big enough for their giant feet! The XxL have padding on the shin, marks XL socks have padding in the top of the foot, too. (He wears a 14, my other people wear a size 16 shoe 🙃). I decided I needed a sock stamp. These socks are guaranteed for life! (Swipe to see the socks... bet you can’t guess which ones are mine, lol) #carvedecember #suzanne_365 #thepainteddiaries
Instagram post 2196129456853187803_15732201 Reputation is what other people know about you. Honor is what you know about yourself. —Lois McMaster Bujold, my absolute favorite author, has been named a SFEA Grand Master. This is from her book A Civil Campaign.  I think about this concept a lot. For my #carvedecember carving, I meant the rays to be shallower, but I slipped. I’m also terrible at lining them up. #thepainteddiaries#suzanne_365

I found this mug shortly after signing up for @everythingartuk’s Wanderlust 2020. While drinking and reading, I felt like I was being watched. I think he thought I had ice cream in my mug and was waiting for his turn. #kasiasadventcalendar #suzannesadventjournal #suzannegetsmessy#getmessyartjournal #dailyhobbes

My intention was to do some more layering after it was dry, but I kinda like it like this, so I’m going to leave it for now! #kasiasadventcalendar #suzannesadventjournal #thelayeredpage #suzannegetsmessy #getmessyartjournal
Instagram post 2195188434409354745_15732201 On my walk, I picked up some things to use for mark making. I liked the line quality of the big fat stock the best. The cornstalk worked pretty well to spread some gesso around. The ok scone wasn’t super successful, it’s too closed up for defined marks, I think. Words are from a Jane Davenport sticker set. #kasiasadventcalendar #suzannesadventjournal #suzannegetmessy #getmessyartjournal #thelayeredpage
