MAGPIE'S MUMBLINGS

A blog about my interests, which include fabric landscapes and various and assorted other artsy pursuits and sometimes known to contain mumblings of a random nature.

And......the obsession continues......

I really don't think my obsession is going to stop anytime soon because there are just far too many great buildings out there that want to be immortalized.  So....
The start of attempting to do this...

      Sometimes I think I have altogether too many passions, but I guess that's a good thing. Enjoy your weekend!

      lol... Considering that I think you're something of a genius with fabric and thread I'd say your work amounts to a great deal. I'll try to use fewer exclamation marks next time, though. (chuckling)

      Glad you saw that one Becki because I was thinking of you when I posted it. They're certainly not something I would ever tackle doing but they're fun to see.

      Thank you my friend! It's already been a nice weekend - treated to breakfast out by the Resident Chef yesterday, flowers from #2 son & daughter-in-love, and a phone call from #1 son. Today Resident Chef is making me bread.

      Sometimes I think my readers must get tired of seeing the same old types of things, but it is what it is! I wonder why Mother's Day is at such different times around the world.

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
