I Like # 77 movies, music, fabrics, jokes

Welcome to this week's list of likes!
That's one of my yard objets d'art we have no room for in this yard.I've been in search of a home with a yard here, no luck yet, but this POST tells the story of our latest adventure looking.


I've enjoyed some silly TV lately. The bachelor, the bachelor olympic events, Celebrity Big Brother which made me laugh each episode (never seen it before) Amazing race, all competing for my attention from the olympic skating. I've loved the skating from all the world's skaters. What a joy to see it in my home!

I loved the fabrics I bought at the going out of business sale at B-Right On. The store I found after moving here? sad it's closing.

All fabrics were $7 a yard and I could have bought out the store but I showed great restraint and only bought 9 yards of 7 fabrics. Two were flamingos,

 and yes I already got some of the coral one but decided since I haven't seen it anywhere else,  to get one more yard. That blue green is sooooooo pretty in person.

I got these two cool embroidery patterns too,

and hope to use them to embroider something soon. I do like handwork and it's easier to do handwork right now. Remember the song at the movies, "Let's all go to the lobby...and get ourselves a treat!"

"Let's All Go to the Lobby" was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress in 2000 as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

Wanna listen?

The fabric on the left is black shot through with glorious shimmering gold spikes, like NY Beauty

I'd like to have the whole bolt thank you ma'am.
(I got a yard)
The other one is a landscape fabric for rocks.

glorious greens, and a basic batik in soft colors, perfect for stamping and backgrounds. (yard each) (except for this one...

got two yards of this beauty!

I had to go buy a tapestry needle to finish DH's knitted hat.

The skein made a long scarf and a hat with exactly the right amount of yarn provided.

I like that today is the two week mark, and hopefully we can put the snip surgery behind us, so to speak. We have an appt today and my great desire is to hear something like, "looks good, the swelling will eventually go down all the way, you are free to bathe him, er, let him run!"
He smells a bit like pee.

 I love Milo with a freshly shaved face, so I can see his eyes... but sometimes he has a wild look to those eyes... He's going to be a year old in March... who'd have expected any of us to survive his puppyhood?

I don't know if I liked this movie, but I watched it.

About an older woman who delayed her life to take care of her mother, then she was labeled a hoarder when her brother and his wife wanted to sell the family home after her mother passed. Doris got the idea into her head she could find love with a young coworker, and a "french farce" breaks out.

Actually there was one character in there with a quote I really liked. The motivational speaker that sets her plans to find love,  in motion, replied to her when Doris said finding her love was impossible...
instead of saying impossible, say, "I'm-possible" Hmm. Can I do that?

And it says something about me, that I didn't think her house looked like a hoarders! lol

I also watched Florence Foster Jenkins... I don't quite know if I liked it... I got kind of tired in the middle, and it kind of hurt my ears.


As usual, Meryl Streep did an incredible job becoming a character, and I liked that the real story was a woman following her passion. Apparently she wanted to be a singer, so do I, but her voice was screechy and not in tune.
It was distracting to me, and at one point drove me to the kitchen for snacks.
I wanted to like it. It was well acted. It just, put me off.
That said, I loved her final comment to her husband. She said:

Well, they can say I "can't" sing but they can't say I "don't " sing.

After all, how much does it matter in life if you're really bad at something you want badly to do?
Maybe it's best to just enjoy yourself.

I really liked this play list of jazz female vocalists on youtube,,,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSE_rWW8Kk0

The link to the wonderful play list of jazz women is above.
I tried but the video wouldn't embed.  The ballerina on the picture is Aesha Ash, who went on to fame after being put out of her original troupe because of her skin color.

Beautiful people right??   Now that's a plank...

RELAX! He has dance underwear on!!

This made me laugh, from google...


Milo wants to say, "I've been VERY HYPER this week, and no one understands!
Everyone is mad at me. I've just been hugging them a lot, by standing up and wrapping my arms around them and maybe, there is a little love nip involved... but when I'm tired and want a nap, I love my bed...

LeeAnna: he may like it but he drags out the soft blankies and pillow every stinkin' night and every stinkin' night I put 'em back in

Milo: " What can I say? I have my likes. I like the softies but sometimes I like them outside the crate.

Sometimes I want to lay on the hard carpet in front of my crate! So? It's my turn to "like" stuff!"

Now please leave sleeping dogs lie, and go visit Mama's other friends doing post about their likes!
