I Like #27 random snow storms and memories of the tropics

Welcome to this week's list of things I liked!
I actually welcomed the snow storm this week. It was our first and last of Winter 2017. And it was kind of pitiful as snow goes.

Mostly ice and the dreaded "wintery mix" not the predicted 10" of snow. Still it covered the ground, and was pretty. Hopefully all the spring blossoms are survivors.
Speaking of which...

* I Like the tv show Survivor. It has changed over the years but I am always up to see how societies work (or not) even small ones of 20 people. I like to see how they interact and compete to stay, and overcome obstacles.
It would be different if they were encouraged to cooperate and keep everyone happy and healthy. I'd be in for that show!
(Guess most people want to see something more like our political system, dog-eat-dog, no compromise, winner take all and damn the others. Even so these contestants will form friendships and that interests me)

On a sweet note, look what's showing up in the grocery stores...
*I Like Rugelach

One of my sewing bee mates brought these and forgot to take them home, so I GRACIOUSLY agreed to "bite the bullet  cookie and this is what's left. The only reason these apricot beauties are still left is sheer will power. I mean to share them with my husband.

*I Like fabric . In bringing more order to my stash this week I ran across this beauty to be stored with the tropical fabrics...

while I sorted, I looked out this window

and LOVED the fact that I have a sewing space, ON the first floor, with windows to nature, and daylight full spectrum bulbs to keep me happy, and a stash of fabric that is now more orderly,

more or less in color order but there are collections such as "dogs" and "flamingos" and some fabric this week just flat out defied categories...

I mean, pizza (for PI day two days ago lol) sombreros and dogs. I don't know what trip the designer was on at the time but I HAD to have some of it!!!
ps I put it in the dog category but it could have gone in southwest.

 * I Like this face cream by L'Oreal

It smells terrific, and seems to be helping my winter/ aging skin.
I remembered a friend of my mothers telling me to start using cream as a teen. 
I grew up in Fl. with hot humid weather, and always looked younger than I was, product of round face I believe. I didn't like the feel of anything on my skin but now I am late to the party. Shrug. This feels nice, so time will tell if I have found the fountain of youth.

Frozen Fountain and Flamingos

 *I Like receiving surprise mail from Hawaii and Sonja...

She included painted fabric as well as these paintings, and fragrant soap and blossoms. It brought back memories of living in the Tropics which seems to be a theme this week.
One of life's pleasures is getting mail for no reason other than the person was thinking of you. One of these paintings is leaning up against the hand made card Eliza sent this week, just because. Love that.   

* I Like trimming my own hair...kind of


My back is so unstable that I cannot sit in barber chairs for professional haircuts these days.

Combine that with chemical sensitivities so I can't dye it and a round face that is now a bit droopy and thin straight hair, and well, what's the point??

This week I was Edward Scissorhands and think it will do for the moment but it's not edgy like a good cut.

Of course I have never found a person to give me an edgy cut around here anyway.




*speaking of the 70's, I found a classmate from high school this week, contacted her and we have caught up a bit. She was a good friend I lost track of. Always creative, she and I used to design greeting cards we labeled RoseOak with her drawings and my words/ideas. She and I marched in the band, spoke French, went to Disney World together and shared some of the hardest years a person will have. It was fun to see her picture and read her words now.

* I Like the idea of not worrying if someone likes you... this video is about not trying so hard to be acceptable. People have so much to give and contribute, that it's wasteful to discount them for being gay or  worship differently or live somewhere you've never been or are different in some way.
