Some progress

 There's been some progress on the landscape.  You might notice that the bottom edge has changed because I decided to add some 'sand' and that there's been a tent and what I thought was a canoe but now I'm thinking it's more like  a rowboat.  Not sure if it will be staying because I really had been planning on a canoe.      The Resident Chef informs me that the 'canoe' is actually a dory and therefore would not be transportable into this sort of setting.  So...the dory is gone and it's been replaced with something much more the shape of a canoe.  Phew, disaster averted!


Question - is anyone else having difficulties either making comments, or responding to them, on blogs?  I periodically have issues it seems and am wondering if it's just me or if it's a universal issue.

- THESE would make cute therapy chickens!

- THIS looks like it would be a fun process albeit a bit messy!  (scroll down for the how-to)

- I found THIS article quite interesting and something we all should beware of when buying patterns.

- Have a peek at the varied creations of THIS artist!  I love her use of colour and raw materials.

Today's quote is from Martin Luther King Jr....."We have flown the air like birds and swum the sea like fishes, but have yet to learn the simple act of walking the earth like brothers"

  1. The uninitiated wouldn't know that the dory was misplaced but in the interest of accuracy it's good that RC helped you make the correction !

  3. I'm able to make comments but I think blogger is having issues. My posts are registering only a handful of views while the stats register hundreds more. And comments are way down, I'm guessing people try and can't get in.
    Your landscapes are getting quite technical with this boat talk. This one is looking great. I'm guessing the old couple isn't canoeing?

  4. Another comment: Toni is a lovely crocheter and teacher and I'm outraged that she was ripped off like this. But she comes back with great tips on how to detect fakes that's so Toni!

  5. Beautiful progress. ❤️ I thankfully have had.zero issues with commenting on my own blog or on other blogs.
    The Blogger news reader, however, is an issue not only on showing my new posts on time, but other bloggers posts don't appear on time for me in the news reader either.
    This is why I now tell all my readers in every single post when my new post will appear on MY BLOG ITSELF.
    This way, even if it doesn't show up in the news reader, because sometimes it shows up late, sometimes not at all.

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.
