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.

Nice to know we are loved!

 Yesterday morning we were notified that there was a delivery on the way from one of the local florists and this is what arrived....



Thank you SO much to our
#2 son and daughter-in-love!!!!



This week I don't have a whole lot to add to my list of 'Making Space' items but these are better than none....

There's an LED base thingie that's supposed to support another thingie that makes it look pretty when it's lit up.  Yeah....my powers of description are sadly lacking aren't they!  This thing was purchased when I bought the second 'thingie', not realizing that said second 'thingie' came with one in the box.  There's a little rotary cutter that came with a bigger one.  I've never used it and so it's being let go.  And...the jar of coconut oil....another misguided purchase on my part.  I had heard it was good cream for your skin so thought I would try it.  Well, over the summer it entirely melted and when it went back to normal when the weather cooled it ended up lumpy and the lumps refuse to blend into my skin.  Yuck.  So...buh bye to that one too!!  Only three things this week - bringing the total to 40 items.  

Instead of a quote today, how about playing a little game?  Mine is Pompom Pointysocks....

  9. Oh my, I use my little rotary ALL the time in place of the old razor blade I use to use to rip seams. While I hold the seams apart with fingers of both hands, the rotary is held somewhat like a pencil. Remember I use clothing in quilts.

    1. Hmmm - I can see the possibilities! But (key word, that!) would I ever actually remember to DO that when I already have two seam rippers ....that's the question!

  10. Wow! There's a lot more work done since I last saw your Barn. The ground has altered. Interesting stitching- and the walls and roof have also changed. I like the colour added to the small window and the clouds are perfect.
    What a fun game. I find I'm Lightning Pointysocks. Great names for everyone. Gorgeous flowers. Enjoy them.

    1. Yes, we do feel lucky! And getting rid of thingies, no matter the number, is a step in the right direction, provided no more thingies take their place!

  12. Beautiful orchids in that arrangement. What a thoughtful gift. I've downloaded that snowflake for the future. And I love that Pinterest page. Lichen, moss, and such always intrigue me.

    1. I'm with you in being fascinated by lichen and moss - one of the things I'm hoping to learn to recreate in fabric at some point. And yes, those orchids are stunning!
