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.

Sorry about awol-ism

 So sorry I didn't manage to get a post together ready for my normal Wednesday routine but we were still in a state of upheaval here at Chez Magpie.  We pretty much have everything back where it belongs now and we're glad of it.  We're really happy with how the painting job turned out and were surprised that the painter and his helper managed to do the entire thing in one day - two coats.  That's what happens when you hire pros!

- I don't know if any of you are interested in wet felting, but perhaps THIS would be of interest.

- There's a really nice quilt-a-long for a lovely Christmas project happening and the information can be found HERE.

- If you have a bunch of t-shirts you hate to part with, perhaps THIS project will be just what you need.

- THIS and THIS are for the littles in your life that might be fans of  the Bluey tv show.

Today's quote...."A fact is objective information.  An opinion is a personal belief.  Ignorance is a lack of facts, and stupidity is a rejection of facts in favor of opinions"

  1. I'm glad the painting went well. This is a tenant responsibility? I had thought management did that. But it's a long time since I was a tenant.

    1. Management only paints when a tenant moves out - they don't otherwise. If we did manage to convince them to paint , the job wouldn't be a good one and it wouldn't be in a colour we wanted. I don't know about other apartment buildings that have other ownership but here they don't do much once you're in.

  2. Oh how true is that quote; and unfortunately, these days we find ourselves in the "stupidity" wars!!!:((((
    ....Glad your painting got done so quickly--that's a nice bonus...hugs, Julierose

    1. Yes, we were expecting the painting to be a two-day enterprise but with two of them painting it went much faster than we thought.

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.
