Grand Day Out - Part II

...so off to Golden we went. While I was busy buying some Sandy Gervais Crazy Eights fabric, the boys went next door to the Windy Saddle and ordered two pieces of Blueberry French Toast Bread, with powdered sugar and syrup. Here's the bottom half of one piece:
We also passed a Mountain Fest on our way into town, but by the time we got back to seeing what it was all about, they were folding up tents. We walked back to our car through the park where everyone stopped to climb the dragon. About then, it started to rain again, so we really did head home!
And about the time I was getting ready to check out at the quilt store, I realized that I had been wearing my shirt backward. All day.

    Karen, You must have been too busy to notice about your shirt- Sounds like you had a great time.
    Your boys look like it was a special day for them too.
    Regards,
    Anna

    Hahaha -- you're so funny! It must not have been as offensive as broccoli in your teeth.

    Duh -- when you mentioned Denver, I totally didn't make the shopping connection. I had favorite shops to go to when I would visit -- The Tattered Cover was one -- what a fantastic book shop. And there used to be an independent clothing fabric store only a block or two away that I LOVED, but I think they're gone now. I never knew about Golden Quilt Co -- my favorites were The Great American Quilt Co. and Harriet Hargreaves shop (can't remember name). Oooh, and Hammond's Candies!!! ;-)

    LOL - toooo funny, Karen! I love Sandy Gervais fabric - so glad you got some of her great Christmas line! And you know - when I was in Golden (ahem) 40 years ago - there were no quilts store!!!
    Cheers!

garden panos from 2023

 Last year, I made some effort (not thoroughly successful) to capture state-of-the-garden pictures every month, including panoramas stitched together on Photoshop, in order to get the whole view of what's happening.  So here's a little recap of the garden in 2023! early March April May June August It appears that I missed July, and either didn't take or didn't save this project in September, although we didn't have a killing frost very late into the season - we were still harvesting a few things in October.  As much as I loved the lettuce that was growing in the tunnel, and getting an early start on a few things, I'm not a fan of plastic anywhere, especially in my garden, so I am looking at options - cold boxes with old windows, etc.  I'm planning to start my 2024 garden this month - pea planting, planning, and seed starting in March!  What are you planting?

Spring Means Baseball!

I've had this idea for a knitting pattern in my head and it's finally come to fruition!  I am still polishing up the pattern, but here's a quick peak:  PS:  There's more than one size and this one is too big for me but it was the only one I had "stitched up."

Night

Trixie (as in Speed Racer) and Stitch (as in per inch) Night My kitten walks on velvet feet And makes no sound at all; And in the doorway nightly sits To watch the darkness fall. I think he loves the lady, Night, And feels akin to her Whose footsteps are as still as his, Whose touch as soft as fur. Lois Weakley McKay ... a childhood favorite from The How and Why Library. Thank goodness my parents moved last year and sent this book my way. Otherwise, I would have just the first line running through my head forever!
