I Like Thursday #11

I will admit.  I really, truly contemplated skipping this week of "I Like Thursday".  Maybe I am having a pity party, it is just a tough week.

Forgive me for some of these.  Like I said I really had a hard time.

I like this attachment for my vacuum cleaner.  It gets underneath big pieces of furniture.  Using it on the recliner I found a frog, a hulk head, a jingle ball, and a rainbow ball.

It pulled tons of dust bunnies out from under the china cabinet and TV stand too.  I bet it would be great for vacuuming out the lint from the dryer lint trap.

I like Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day products.  My favorite scent is Lemon Verbena.  When I was a kid doing dishes, I ended up with a sensitivity to dish soap, I would get this prickly rash all over my hands.  I will use the Dawn with the Olay, but the one I liked the best had shea butter and peach, and they don't make it any more.

No laughing but I like my new kitty litter scoop.  It is heavy metal, and I don't have to worry about it cracking or breaking while I scoop.

I like these retro pole lights, that one of Jeff's elderly friends gave us a couple of years ago.  Really not my style, but she really wanted us to have them.  Obviously they grow on you.

I like that they do one light, two lights or all three, and the glow is so nice.

I like my pencil drawing by David Delamare.  He passed away about a year and a half ago.  You can see more of his art at Bad Monkey Productions.  I bought this when I was young, I scrimped and saved after seeing it at a small gallery.  It is called The Worm Turns.  The cat reminds me of Lucy.

I like the Carol Doak foundation paper for paper piecing. I ran it through the printer the other day when I was prepping my Wanta Fanta block.  I will say it works much nicer than regular printer paper.  I would not normally purchase something like that because I don't paper piece.  But I had the $200 from C & T Publishing, and bought it from them.  Speaking of not liking to paper piece.  I shared my block the other day in my post, but here it is again.  I have it stuck to the backside of my design wall.

Since I seem to keep picking up paper piecing patterns, I figured I may want to invest in more paper, this time I am going to try newsprint, and see how it works in my printer.  A wee bit thinner than the Carol Doak foundation papers.

I like my light box that I bought on Massdrop.  Now I have used the overhead projector, a window, and even just a very stark white sheet with another piece over it to trace.  Wow this makes it so much easier when I am prepping for applique, or embroidery.

I like chicken fabric.  Come on who can't smile at the happy hens. Soon I see a chicken quilt in my future.  Maybe two!

Speaking of fun fabric.  How about some Cotton + Steel squirrels, foxes, and raccoons or Michael Miller foxes on the far right?

Finally I like this wall hanging that I made for Jeff for our first anniversary.   He loved it and instantly found a place to hang it.  It hangs in the alcove where you either go do laundry or to the basement. 

The saying is:  What I love the most about my home is who I share it with.  Friday would have been our 5th anniversary.  I really miss the person who shared his home with me.  Happy Anniversary Baby.
