First, I apologize for the radio silence. I had some housekeeping to do with the blog, I have had little time to follow my thread and needle proclivities, and I just keep looking for ways to improve this space. I have been approached to join a group of similar sites who publish and blog for a living. And yes, ads are part of the process. I have studied their work, and while interesting and very professional (I am amateur) the ads that scroll, pop up and distract from their content remain a big negative for me. After some consideration I have declined and prefer to not be contacted again. They often "mine" my blog for content etc. which skews my statistics, which I pay little attention to anyway, (*because remember, this is a personal journal, nothing more) and that in turn prompts advertisers to contact me.
I am in the process of sorting through the Fall decorations. My favorite time of year, the colors, the comfort of a cozy home become a quest of sorts. For some reason, the bins of items seem much heavier this year. Mmmm.
For the first time, I am going to take the current quilt, a patriotic strip quilt, off the long-arm with it's backing and fold it up. Tuck it away, out of sight. I don't like it and I am not going to spend another minute fussing about it. I will likely cut it up for placemats for the patio next year, maybe a pillow or two. Done. Not a decision taken lightly I might add, but essential for me to progress through my Fall themed pieces.
That felt good. A decision. On with new projects. Insert smile here. 😁
A distant family member contacted me the other day. I think I met her many years ago, she was a small child then. She directed me to her Ancestry account and there I found a photo of my Father I had never seen. I think it is his high school graduation photo. I see a resemblance I never noticed before. Life is funny, isn't it?
