<br />
The weather on Thanksgiving was a beautiful 57 degrees and sunny. Then during the night the winds started....it was so loud and strong it woke me up at 5 am no Friday. Snow is on its way in droves. Just a few inches at a time but my how different Thursday was versus Friday -people were out riding bikes and motorcycles. Today we are checking where the snow shovels are and ice scrapers are stashed. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Change is also happening in life. My parents may have sold their home. The first load of unessential furniture is went on a moving van to their second home. My husband drove the van and we helped get it loaded/unloaded. They will live 3 hours away not three blocks away but near my siblings and my mothers family. I think it will be a good move but things will just be different. So my mom cooked Thanksgiving dinner vs having it at our house. I forgot to take pictures... it was a great day. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Change is also happening in what I am finding that I like to do. I am crocheting again. I have found that I like to do little projects. I have been writing patterns which is a new adventure. I have one quilting pattern nearly completed. I am spending time making quilts that have a bit more planning vs totally ad lib. I like both methods but i am not stashing fabrics for improv quilts so i need to have enough materials on hand. <br />
<br />
<br />
And now the rush to get some holiday shopping in, it is beginning to look at like Christmas. Everywhere you go! <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
ps I have used up my photo storage that is free and I need to figure out how to get around purchasing more space after all these years of blogging!!I think I need to delete photos taken....<br />
<br />
<br />
I believe I will have to change my blog address!! Watch for more change to come!!!!<br />

I have 10 of the 12 blocks completed for the Super Mario Qal. I think it's looking like a quilt. There are 324 little 1.5 inch squares sewn to make each block. No wonder it is taking me a few hours each block! The latest block was the red mushroom. <br />
<br />
I am so happy that my sewing machine is working well, all I needed to do was replace the needle and get some nice thread in it. I was frustrated because I was worried I broke it when I shattered two needles in it last week. Whew, I was missing it. The old Singer Touch and sew is nice but... well it isn't the Husquavarna. <br />
<br />
We have been getting ready for wrestling season for our Son. Senior pictures, ordered grad announcements and cap/gown all happened this past week. I think now I can concentrate on Thanksgiving! <br />

Yep the phone is supposed to be straight! We have back up phones in place now. He is connected again. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Which leads to thinking about some complaints I have heard from the generation right (not my parents but the people younger than them) ahead of me, they don't like the use of cell phones from people younger than them. They are paying attention to the phone and not them. They say younger people don't know how to interact and don't have relationships with people. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I disagree. I think that people have as many face to face relationships as they want. They talk to the people they are with as much as they want. The phone is an added layer of connecting. And sharing jokes and other cool games and things. Now there are exceptions. We all are different. I think it is a sign of a new generation gap. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First it was "those crazy kids and their rock music"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then it was "TV is rotting the brain of kids" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now, it is "those cell phones, what are you doing, you not talking to me and not listening to my stories anymore!" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and my favorite "you are becoming a technological zombie" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love technology but social norms/rules are changing and I am just as bad as the "kids" about it. I used to do hand sewing at holidays and yarn things at dinner. How's that for being rude at a holiday gathering!! I need to have a focus and something to do. I also like to watch football games as holiday events as well as talk. Some people watch movies. Other share memes and the latest games.... Just a few things I have been thinking about folks....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now my sewing machine is acting up. Good think I have a back up machine!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thankful that we have what we need and a back up plan, too!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I am super thankful I have a smart phone to get through today's staff meeting at work!</div>

I am finding that making the faces for the ami is getting better. The ears are a challenge this week. I am not making them the same size and then how to place them on the figure is another story. There is a learning curve in making new projects!! That's what makes them fun. </div>

I am continuing to learn about paper piecing. I saw some pictures that Mark Lipinski put on facebook about his adventure. There was a wooden rolling pin for pressing seams. I thought I needed one. Hmmm, I really started to think and realized I ALREADY had a Pampered Chef rolling pin that looked just like that! Wow, I had it here all along. And it works out just wonderfully. </div>

I have made a quilt block for a bee that will go to a co worker. It is the right size this time and I was able to change some fabric choices and I like this one better. And the other picture is the turtle shell block in the Super Mario Quilt along. Three more to go, I will get started on them tomorrow. </div>
<br />
I want to also state that it was warm yesterday, in the fifties. This evening it started to snow. <br />

I guess listening to Trans Siberian Orchestra wasn't too early..... <br />

Yesterday was a long day of driving to Grand Valley State University and taking a campus preview. I think we walked about 20 miles. Then we went to the mall and walked another 10 miles. I ate too much at Red Robin and throughly enjoyed the day. <br />
<br />
This school is on the short list and we were all very pleasantly surprised and what a nice campus it is. <br />

<br />
<br />
Time to get back to the normalcy of everyday. The election is over. The ads, the intesity of emotion by people over party platforms. The ridiculous Facebook posts. The end of the world may be here if...... <br />
<br />
<br />
November is here. I am committing my mind to being Thankful. I am committing my focus to the everyday moments and living in them. I am counting my blessings that I can live freely, practice my religion, have my faith and live my life without constraints. <br />
<br />
<br />
Something you do every day <br />

It took me all week to finish this block of the month. I have to say the last 6 in the BOM are the hardest. There is a mariners compass that I am concerned about!! I really like how this one turned out and I would make a whole quilt with it. I have 5 more blocks to do in this quilt. </div>

Here is a re sculpt of the faces on my first two amigurumi. I am really been bitten by the bug. I love the fast results and the artistic rendering of the faces. Of which, I need much more practice. My sister and I started this journey together via the inter net and we are having so much fun. She is working on cute little monsters and a zoo for her grand baby. I am working on a larger 12" Santa gnome and a Russian nesting doll. I have to find that wool felt. I know it's around here someplace......<br />
<br />
We moved the clocks back this weekend. I woke up at 430 this am. but had fit full sleep until 6. I am looking forward to o'dark thirty today. Early. NOT!! <br />
<br />
At the risk of sounding like my grandma, has anyone else noticed the high price of turkey for Thanksgiving???? I am waiting to see any kind of sale. <br />

I think that I continue to try to do too much on my time off from work. I wanted to have 5 quilt blocks done in addition to the projects pictured. I may have one done by bedtime. I have need to learn to relax more instead of feeling that I have to be constantly working. I am learning. <br />

What a difference a few days make, the field was photographed 2 weeks ago. Now it is cold, snowy, rainy and the days are gray. I am not a fan of the long dark evenings and it will get worse after the clocks change Saturday-fall back 1 hour. The mornings are a bit brighter but it makes the evenings so dark, so early. <br />
<br />
That's where the candles come in. I like the soft light they give. They save electricity and light up the darker areas that need just a bit to keep the gloom away. I am going to continue a photo a day this month by fatmumslim. I like having a challenge topic and it gives me a chance to improve my photography skills and editing. <br />
<br />
I am crocheting amigurumi. Not sure why. I love the cute factor. I don't have grandchildren. I think I just will keep several. I am working on a big gnome right now. I like the pick it up and put it down factor. I also am sore when I sit and sew too long. <br />
<br />
November is the month for me to focus on being thankful. I am thankful for vehicles that run. They have been aging, getting repairs and yesterday my car's battery went dead. Today they are running. I am thankful for the independence they give. <br />

<br />
<br />
Here is a picture of the old Homestead for Halloween! Lol, not really, I have to get my little front porch ready today and my two bags of candy in the special bowl. It will be cold and snow. It may be a light year to have tick or treaters. <br />
<br />
<br />
I am very thankful today that I have a humble home, heat, electricity and food. My family in the hurricane zone is safe and has all the necessary essentials for modern living. I think I will make some bread today to celebrate Wednesday and the coming season of thankfulness and love. <br />

This weekend I quilted Victory Quilt. I pieced these little 6 inch blocks traditionally. I think it looks a bit like Christmas so I will display it then. I like the big music print for the baking fabric, I found it at IKEA of all places and it is 100% cotton and light enough weight to quilt. I quilted it in freehand curls. <br />
<br />
I have been making crocheted amigurumi for fun. Faces are hard. The koala will be redone. The turtle is my first attempt. I like to have something besides quilting to do! I like how fast they go. I am going to make some knitted owl amigurumis. Love all the patterns out on the net. <br />

It is an addicting phenomenon. You can speed through thousands of pictures with linked sites to hone in on what you are looking for! Here is a collection of projects I have pinned on my boards. I have included the linked websites when available. I think they are all very inspirational as well as something I would do. If you haven't looked at Pinterest, you really should there is more there than crafts. Travel, fashion, makeup.... it is endless. Of course, my favorites are the jokes.<br />

OK, what do these pictures have in common? Only the road trip in which they were taken on . I was being followed by the SWAT van on the highway. I was nervous until I realized it was a flooring company!!</div>

I have exercised twice this week and had better work outs each time. No inhaler use and during the activity it was fine. Not so fine during the night. Lesson learned. I must use an inhaler for a while after having pneumonia to not have breathing problems. I haven't weighed myself but I feel that a bit of weight is going down. I need to get more off so I feel better and have improved health. </div>

I have been doing lots of stuff but not a ton of things to photograph. I think I need to get focused and follow my projects all the way to the end to have a feeling of accomplishment. I have a stack of UFO's and WIPs laying around and it is starting to get on my nerves. I also have a bit of organizing that needs to get done too. I am scampering around a lot lately. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also am feeling the need to throw out all the old stuff lying around to get streamlined and organized. But then I would have nothing usable and I am not in a position to replace everything I would toss. I guess I need to evaluate if I really need to keep it around. Stacks of that kind of thing. </div>

I am learning how to use Microsoft Publisher, my photo programs and EQ. I am really woefully primitive on using them. I need to use them more but I am impatient. It takes lots of TIME to learn how to do these things. I just want them to magically jump into my projects. <br />
<br />
Here is a photo of my back yard. The leaves are finally starting to fall and need to be raked. They are gone everywhere else. Guess what I am going to be doing this weekend, :)<br />

I made a scrap yarn scarf that was to be a weather diary. It was for the most part. Some days the weather changed so much I had several colors represent one day. I crocheted a single crochet around the edge to give a polished finish. It is made from all wool scraps. <br />
<br />
I love to knit and crochet in addition to my quilting. I am making amigurumi stuffed animals. They are very cool and I wanted to make some a couple of years ago. I thought that I had to have a reason to and what would I do with them? I have tons a little scrap yarns and they are all single crochet. <br />
<br />
I showed my sister some patterns on pinterest and we are both making them now. I have made the Pig from angry birds, a freehand turtle and now I am working on a Koala. I need to buy some eyes and then sculpt the faces before I can show them off. I don't need a reason more than I wanted to make them and I have yarn scraps and old batting to stuff them! I may keep most of them just because. :)<br />
<br />
I have started working out after my pneumonia. It was a bit rough. I had to slow way down and lower my weights. I am back on a diet. Seriously. Gotta get a grip on that.....<br />
<br />
How about you? I have several projects going with quilting too. Catch up on BOM, finish a quilt for another pattern I am writing and the Super Mario quilt along. <br />
<br />
My day job may be a bit slow and underwhelming but not my evenings and after hours!! <br />

Quilting makes me smile. Always. I enjoy everything about picking the fabrics, designing the pattern, piecing and the quilting. The top quilt is my latest fall scrap quilt. The lower is a secret quilt that will be unveiled soon. With a pattern! </div>

Yesterday was the first day I have felt well in several weeks. I cleaned the house top to bottom. I worked out with a bit of shortness of breath but it was a light workout. I then was able to spend time with my family. Our vehicles have been in the shop several times over the past few months. I think we have my husbands explorer finally fixed. So to test it out we went shopping and fall sightseeing about 50 miles from our house. I didn't buy much but the much sought after Kona black. The evening was beautiful and the lighting was just right. <br />
Back to the pic of the day. I couldn't think of anything to photograph that evokes fear. I thought of all the beauty I photographed yesterday and I will share the link to an online album: <br />

I fear that these beautiful places will all be overly developed in the future. I love to see nature and the majesty of the Great Lakes.<br />
