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.

A landscape update

 Over the weekend I worked on the latest landscape and have it to this point now (ready for quilting)....


Updated to add: since this photo was taken, the
grass has been removed and replaced

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT....I've been getting increasingly dire warnings that my 'cloud storage is full' and I, being of a suspicious nature, checked into it.  It appears that it's a scam so thought I should let you know in case it happens to you.

- I'm not quite sure about the usefulness of THIS, but sending it along in case you want to give it a try.

- THIS falls under the awww-worthy category!  And so does THIS.

- I know some of you are going to groan over me starting to share ideas for 'that' day in December, but getting an early start is a good thing.  Go HERE for one idea.

- THIS is something that would be fun for fall in all sorts of different ways.

    1. Hot air balloons are beautiful, but there's no way on earth (pun intended!) that you'd ever get me to ride in one!

    1. If you do make the pot holders, I'm curious to hear what you think of them.

  3. I've been getting that cloud threat, complete with bills, for years, and ignoring it. Nothing bad has happened.

  4. Hi dear friend, thanks for the heads up on the scam. Some people have (sadly) nothing better to do than scare or confuse others.
    The balloons are lovely!

  5. hot air balloons are awesome or horrific - there's no in between ... i would probably give a ride in a tethered balloon a try ... maybe not, come to think of it.

    1. Couldn't pay me enough to get in one, but they sure are pretty to watch.

  6. Well done. Yep I am getting those cloud warnings as well. There was one however that I got youngest to look at as it came up as a warning on my computer, not an email. That one was real so I purchased more space with Kris's help, and have spent some time clearing things out over this past week.

    God bless.

    1. I must admit I'm suspicious of pretty much everything that comes up on the computer...too much bad stuff out there.

  7. Hello MA: Lovely progress on this quilt, love seeing hot air balloons in the air.
    I always check out things that come in my email that look questionable, even the ones that i get regularly.
    Thanks for the links.

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.
