I Like Thursday #15

I have had a couple of busy weeks.  But amazingly enough I haven't taken many pictures of anything I can really show.  Oh I have a lot of likes though.

I like ugly fruit at the grocery store--they call them misfits.  They have bags of lemons, oranges, and other things; like us humans they have some flaws, but because of those flaws many people won't buy them.  I like that I can get a bag of lemons for $1.29, which is a really good price.  

No Bobbin is not a lemon. 

I like my nifty rolling cart I found on Amazon.  I had been envying the Raskog utility carts from Ikea that I had been seeing in other people's sewing spaces, the aqua is cute.  Now Ikea only carries a cream, brownish red, and black.  Imagine my delight when I found a red one, and it is 4 tiers!  Since I sew in so many different spots I am always looking for my supplies....jack the ripper, pencil, scissors, glue,  I thought this would come in handy to keep my supplies in one main spot, and I can roll it to where I am working.  I also like that I can have my ruler rack on it, and my chicken pincushion is riding shotgun.   

OK I did have to assemble it, but I love that you can get it in 6 different colors, and of course my favorite color is red. 

Speaking of Amazon have you checked out their "New and Interesting Finds" at the top?  I like the fun things, so every now and then I will take a gander.  I saw this print which is a Day of the Dead Chihuahua which is printed on an old dictionary page.  I later found the guy's shop on Etsy is called collageOrama and I love his fun quirky style.

The face kind of reminds me of Bobbin.

I like my sloggers which are rubber clogs, especially with the rain we have been having.  We went from this:

To inches of rain and mud in a couple of days--to the point where you are sinking a couple of inches into the grass, the ground is so saturated.  My sloggers keep me from having soaked shoes all the time.

I like charity sew day at church.  The Tuesday before last I returned 2 completely sewn quilts (they tie them), and during charity sew day I sewed 3 baby quilts, and started another full size quilt.  There were several others which were ready to be sewn together envelope style, so I brought them home. 

Here is one of them that I finished the last couple of days.  Pay no attention to my pile of paper recycling by the refrigerator or the rogue shoe that Bobbin has been dragging around the house. 

I like to get my milk, cream, or ice cream at the local dairy and I love their shopping bags.  

What is not to love?  The old truck, the load of peaches. 

I like that life is settling down now and I have started to go through boxes and decide what to keep, what to donate, and what to throw away.  I started with 5 boxes Wednesday morning and I am down to these two to donate.  I need to start cleaning up my act and living my life.  Oh I have plenty more boxes to deal with, but small chunks at a time. 

Finally I like my helper.  This is my worker bee.  He helped me put all the Christmas decorations in the attic--from the sitting room and organize 4 Christmas trees....still trying to figure out how that one happened.  We pulled several boxes out of the attic to go through and decide to keep, or donate.  I now know what is in every box in the attic.  Scary huh? 

During the snow storms the past couple of weeks this boy, his brother and step sister moved a lot of snow.  With shovels!!! My porches, walkways, driveway all the way out to the road, and the pathway to the chickens.  When you consider we got about 20 inches of snow these kids were awesome.  As a treat after cleaning the attic we went out to dinner. 

Now head on over to LeeAnna's at Not Afraid of Color to check out the other I Like Thursday peeps.
