Throwback Thursday — The one with the cute little boy

I was thinking that this week’s Throwback Thursday post would be of an early quilt, something that I could contrast with a later quilt to show my growth, etc, etc, blah blah blah. But then, as I was going through some old pictures, I came across something else that I decided I HAD to share.

This is Joe in December 2000, when he was 18 months old. Grandma Earley made the quilt.

He loved that poor quilt to death, and eventually we decided Joe needed a new quilt, and he wanted it to be just like the old one. If I remember right, I convinced him to make it bigger. Here he is posing with the old one and the new one. This is from March 2006, he would have been…ummmmm…..just over 6.5 years old?

The best part of that little self-satisfied smirky grin thingy he’s got going is that HE is the one that quilted that WHOLE quilt. It also occurs to me that he might have helped me piece it, but this was before I started blogging, and I don’t have any photographic evidence of that. I do, on the other hand, have evidence that he quilted, and trust me, he quilted the WHOLE thing!

I do notice that I also have photographic evidence that my studio used to have wide open spaces of floor instead of piles everywhere, and I’m becoming more and more motivated to want to clean up this joint. I don’t know what that means, but it means something.

    Was this era before you moved to the now red house? You’re right. Cute! My grandson is the same age as your boys. They grow SO fast. My GS lives in Germany. I only see pictures of him.

I haven’t read Anne of Green Gables since I was a kid, but I devoured the whole series and have fond memories of reading them and watching the original miniseries with Megan Follows (which came out in 1985! 😱). I have ordered a copy (I don’t own it???) and am looking forward to a reread!
Instagram post 2190788313823052870_15732201 337/365 I carved concentric circles because I saw several them in several #carvedecember posts and wanted my own. The words I found are from the answer @elizabethwarren gave to a young woman at a campaign event this past weekend. “Sometimes you just gotta do what’s right inside...” #thepainteddiaries #suzanne_365
Instagram post 2190318621106952450_15732201 For my 2019 daily art project, I used these spiral bound mixed media books by Strathmore. A full year was supposed to fit in four of them, but it turns out you can get them with either 40 sheets or 48 and I didn’t realize that I had some of both. (I thought they were all 48). Also, April was super chunky and it’s on its own. And my swatches are there own, because I will use those going forward. (For the record, the paper was OK — it’s meant for wet media, but it takes watercolor really weird, so I don’t recommend them for that. It’s a vellum finish, so I think it’s too smooth). For 2020, I knew exactly what I wanted, which was a single book with numbered pages. It’s going to get so fat, it’ll probably fall apart and be impossible to work in, but I can’t wait, lol. #thepainteddiaries #suzanne_365 #suzannemakesarteveryday2020
Instagram post 2189552844443740653_15732201 Because I always think I can do it all, I’m also taking @cayleegrey’s class Level Up. I am using my #mishmashmessy journal from @mishmashpt and @getmessyartjournal , that I decorated with some scrapbook paper. I made some art yesterday about how uncomfortable this class is making me (the world needs more venn diagrams, right?). #yaylevelup #getmessyartjournal #suzannegetsmessy
Instagram post 2189503767093943740_15732201 Day 1 of #kasiasadventcalendar — we were to make a postcard to ourselves with our intentions. It wasn’t until I was giving the typewritten words down that I noticed my typo, whoops. I also finally did my color palette. Pretty traditional Christmas colors, but I think the hot pink and robins egg blue add something interesting.
