I Like Thursday #132

I made this bunny bucket long ago

 Welcome to this week's list of likes! 

There is always something to like isn't there, if you look for it? Yes...

ione of my neighbors must be Irish!

I'm writing this as the blizzard is blowing outside... doing it early in case...this is the worst weather I've endured since hurricanes in Florida. The snow is blowing horizontally in sustained 60 MPH winds and will continue all day into the evening.
Now for the likes...

I loved meeting my new friend Kathy for a bit of fabric shopping/petting and lunch. It's so good to connect with someone new and get to know them better, hear their stories, learn from them.
I went to the store ready to take in all the possibilities but not buy more fabric now. I have so much, but then these two got my attention...

I see aspen trees, one is slightly darker than the other so I can do shaping, and both are shot through with gold and silver metallic paint.
Pretty no? I showed "great restraint' in only getting a fat quarter of both

Lunch at Panera Bread was good... Kathy said she always gets the chicken salad, so I tried it and it was good. While we chatted a group of firefighters put together three tables and sat near us. Made me feel pretty secure I must say, and happy to see so many men in one place, who give their all to help others.
Look at the quilty brownies Panera had...

In anticipation of the upcoming storm, we went grocery shopping and to Trader Joes for specialty items... I got these Iris 8 for $3.99.

Iris are elegant, so I put them in the black vase that looks art deco and one has opened so far. That shade of purple blue is intense right/ Ah Spring... come on now we've been waiting for you.

Milo finished up his Christmas cookies this week, loved them, and I almost hated to get rid of the box as it had a poodle on it

I love seeing a lot of fresh fruit and vege in the house, and thought how pretty all the intense colors were on my counter

I liked watching American Idol auditions this week, and have already chosen my top 10.,.. wish they could all produce an album for me. Some real talent out there and some of them are quite young.

We went to IKEA in search of a couple items, but couldn't find just the right thing. Still it was fun to see what was new...

quilt pattern boxes for desks

I did get this wee glass to go with my larger pink ones... I've used it every day since! I like a small glass and pink is always welcomed. Look at the pink Hexie plates...

And the lights

and this lamp looked like a flamingo to me

I got this small goose neck light to light my sewing machine screen. The light went out in it and the mechanic said it would be really expensive to replace, so I am making it work. Tim Gunn's phrase from Project Runway will be missed although the show is returning tonight to BRAVO with Christian Serriano in Tim's role. Can't wait... love PR

These are a couple of the library books I am looking through. One of my art group recommended this artist Cas Holmes and I have been pouring through her wonderful books this week.

Milo's Moments

this is what's left after a week of warm temps

 Hi Y'all.. I wanted to tell you about my new exercise. Oh I still run... and I think I should get double points for running through blizzard winds don't you? I still wrestle... especially with that little friend of mine Murphy.

You'll never get it!

I wrestle with Daddy too... he yells Fetch! which means grab the toy, and pretend to bring it back, dart away, and pull it out of the pawrent's hands when they grab it! I LOVE that game
 But I've added in resistance training.

Yep Mama is the ballast, I have to pull her along on every walk, and it's a work out!
I played keep away from lots of people this week too... I'm very good at staying just out of their reach. I saw a gorgoyle this week, a monster with a head and arms, but the bottom half was a bike.
I admit it scared me and I barked my surprise at it!

even I'm sick of snow

 My ears were nearly blown off my head in the blizzard, my coat was and I don't like that but a dog can't just go in the house... or so I'm told... barking out loud!

Please visit mama's friends also keeping it Paw-sitive this week!
