Weekly update: miscellaneous projects in the works, and some good books from With Strings Attached

Spring came in like a lion. This is the view out the front door on Friday morning.

Fortunately there was no wind behind the snow and it stopped by noon.

The Zion Woman's Club had a small but enthusiastic turnout for our first spring Bunco party.

Marilyn had the high score, Evie had the low score, and I had the most buncos. (A bunco is 21 points, achieved by rolling three of a kind of the pip in play. A baby bunco is 5 points, achieved by rolling three of a kind of a pip not in play. (E ...

Pin It Weekly #333 from Fleur de Lis Quilts and Accessories

Hello Weekly! Do you remember when I wrote last week that I really wanted to paint a mason jar? Well, I did. It's not so much fun, actually.

I painted a few in fall colors. Then distressed them. Then put a sealant on them. The paint still wants to scratch off. I had conned Rich into making some crates for them, so they are going in my little shop at Griffin's, but I don't know about this painted glass business.

Notice the crosses leaning on the jars? There are three. Rich made those because (I think) it ...

It's Weekly time! Here's hoping that you're having a fabulous week. I've been crafting. That's all. Crafting. And enjoying every minute. I thought I'd share some of the ideas that I've been toying with. I haven't made them all, but I'm hoping that the next week or so will see most of them complete.

I really want to paint a mason jar!

Who doesn't love wooden candy corn?!

And because I've gone a little crazy with the door hangers.

Hopefully I'll finish the door hangers that are waiting ...

The weather has been quite blue/blah and gray/icky since the hurricane. We absolutely can't trust the sky. However, the temperatures make up for that. We absolutely CAN trust the temps.

Hand Painted Oil Painting Abstract Indigo Wall with Stretched Frame 7 Wall Arts® – CAD $ 119.53

So I've been feeling a little gray and blah. I did load a quilt top on the long-arm and I've gotten in the groove. I had forgotten I had this top. It was in the bin waiting a turn. Apparently, there's no rhyme or reason to taking turns in my world. This is neither the oldest or the newest in the bin. So...

Check out this girl's Flickr page.... so much beautiful sewing!!

Have I told you that I'm really bad at math? Here's one example of many, embarrassing many: I always check to see what number the next PIW is before actually typing in the number. Sometimes I double check. About six weeks ago I did that. Well, I did something.

I thought it was check the number and add one. Then I proceeded to number the next PIW by skipping a slew of numbers. I went from the end of the 310s to the 330s. How does something like that happen? I assume it the same way I can ...

Welcome back! It's Pinterest time. It has gotten too hot in Louisiana to sit out-of-doors. I managed a few minutes in the shade while a hot breeze and a cool drink kept me and the birds company.

Bird Sounds and Songs of the Mourning Dove | The Old Farmer's Almanac

How the doves have the energy to fuss over the same feeder is beyond me. Of course, watching them peaked my interest in whether I had mourning doves on my bird board. I did not. So far as I could find anyway. So I searched out a few doves to pin.

This almost-weekly post started out as Pin It Wednesday.

Lynette Anderson Designs: Festival of Quilts 2014...

Wednesday was soon changed to Weekly simply because I couldn't keep up with weekdays and also because I couldn't pull off a regular thing. And that was when I worked. How does one miss "Hump Day"? One sees over a hundred teenagers and attempts to impart knowledge to said teens.

Retirement came along (finally), and I know when it's Sunday.

I find this one intriguing - is it old? New?

Then Coronavirus came calling, and even Sunday is not so reliable. So when PIW arrives at the end of the week, it should come as no surprise to ...

It's a birdhouse now, but it would make a great Smithy and Workshop if it was a little bigger.

Great use of tree stump. Just make sure you put bird houses and feeders at least 5 -6 feet above the ground. Otherwise they are easy prey for cats and other predators. :)

Welcome to PIW!
My most recent pins have been additions to the "mixed, media" board.

Italian collage and the garden of lovers, caterina giglio La Dolce Vita

by dailypoetics, via Flickr great use of a collaged ground with areas highlighted using the gesso.

Crossings - Strummel's work is inspirational. I can learn a lot from her.

These pins are from Susan Camata. I didn't translate, but I think we can all figure out what she likes, especially considering that this is one of eight sewing boards.

And these are from Dawn Hunton's "floral applique" board. Talk about inspiring!

Madam Quilter. And this is a pattern you can buy!

Stay safe everyone. Remember, social distance helps to protect you and to avoid you from carrying the CoVid19 home to your loved ones.

Hey Pinners! Let's meet new followers:
Barbara Wilson has a board called "color palettes" that proved to be interesting.

●••°‿✿⁀Crystals‿✿⁀°••● ~~~The emotional and psychological meaning of colors

Classic - I like this for a home setting especially, but would be pretty for winter or fall nature in Austin as well. I'd pick the three colors to the left!

Color combination, color pallets, color palettes, color scheme, color inspiration.

Marcin Piesocki's board "Polubione," which means your likes, has pins of some of the most beautiful antiques, architectural examples, and machines.

Sandra Gentry has 64 pins on rug hooking, something I don't think I've ever passed along to you, so here you are.
