Fun on a Friday from Humble Quilts

These are cool random photos.

We saw this in the Capital building. I know about Chief Washakie and the town named after him in Wyoming is about 20 miles from the town we bought property. He lived in 3 centuries! Isn't that crazy?!

The scenic route in Virginia.

Some beautiful random old house.

Here is part of the little brownstone apartment we stayed in in Washington DC.

Crazy!

We've come a long way baby!

I hope you enjoyed seeing these. I love seeing places I haven not been.

I'll be back to my regularly scheduled program next ...

Busy Thimble from Humble Quilts

If I was going to have a quilt shop, I'd want it to look just like this!

It was a little rainy heading from Portland to Litchfield for our appointment to shop at Cyndi's quilt shop.

The link to Cyndi's blog- HERE.

Filled with lots of quilts and almost exclusively reproduction fabric!

Cyndy's potholder quilt! Amazing reproduction.

Oh yes!

Here is Cascadia, one of my quiltalongs.

So simple but effective and so sweet!

Wendy, of The Constant Quilt blog, came to visit as well! I was as thrilled as I could be being able to meet ...

To Travel is Like Falling in Love from Where Art & Life Meet

There’s something about traveling that’s like falling in love. Everything is new and exciting, the people, the smells, the food, the architecture, the monuments, art, culture; immersing yourself in something so completely different from what you’re used to, from what you know, is akin to falling in love. It’s exhilarating and defies description. When I’m […]

Controlling What You Can from Where Art & Life Meet

Today’s morning reading excerpt: “While you don’t control external events, you retain the ability to decide how you respond to those events. You control what every external event means to you personally.” The Daily Stoic When we returned from Africa, I had a livestream scheduled for the next day and a Zoom meeting that couldn’t […]

The Day to Day Trajectory of a Tourist on Safari from Where Art & Life Meet

First day seeing an animal (any animal): Me: What is that? It looks like a boar. Runs to find someone who can accurately identify said boar. Told it’s a warthog. Second time seeing boar-like creature: Me: Oh look! It’s a warthog. Confidently lists several features of the warthog; it’s preferred vegetation, which animals prey upon it, etc. First day […]

This is Grief, I’m Told from Where Art & Life Meet

There are moments that feel impossible and others that fly by unnoticed. Mostly I’m exhausted almost constantly, as though a perpetual scrim has enveloped me, making everything feel heavier, cloudier, more difficult to sort through. It’s not terrible, just different. This is grief, I’m told. This morning is one of those heavier moments. Maybe it’s […]

Birthdays, Patreon, Youtube & Exploring New Things from Where Art & Life Meet

Remember when women were coy about their age? We weren’t supposed to say how old we were, so much so that people said, “don’t ever ask a women her age” and I think the ending to that was “or a man his salary” or something like that. Maybe some people still say that, but the… Continue reading Birthdays, Patreon, Youtube & Exploring New Things
