I Like Thursday #153

Welcome to I Like Thursday! Lots to like this week, starting with the local fabric shop hop... 8 stores along the front range of the Rockies. I visited all 8, and got the special fabric from each, which is the equivalent of a "layer cake" of 40 10" squares. They gave me a pin at the end, and I am in the drawing for a quilting machine!
Along the way I found a couple little supplies to purchase including this book and fabric...

The book by Lori Holt has the cutest blocks, and the fabric is so so so sweet!

I feel like I could have painted it!

We went to DH's company picnic last weekend, and I got to put faces with names I've heard. Milo met this 5 month old puppy, but it was so hot they laid down and the pup began to chew on his leash.

her name is Ivy and she's Milo size now!

DH got to know his coworkers better, and they were all saying it was odd to see each other in casual clothes!

I visited four shop hop stores alone, and met some interesting people. We all three finished the last four on Saturday, visiting three towns, and at the last store we met a couple with their brown standard poodle, Princess. So much fun to meet another poodle on the road!
After the hop, we walked around Old Colorado City and shopped. I loved this sign... we live in the West now...

How fortuitous, as my bison's wallet just fell apart!

Loved this display window
and this sign... warning...

this was in a book of quotes by Bob Ross the painter... love it!

these bird houses are made of cool stuff like a faucet, and a bottle opener, gear knob and license plate

I've enjoyed painting this week, even on the free "better quality" paper the clerk gave me... that Milo ate part of. So what, I could paint on part of it, and it didn't particularly behave better than my other papers...

this is the back

More of this week's art tomorrow on paint party Friday! Please stop back by and let me know what you think about it.

I have hurt my back again, lifting my coffee cup, and am not to sew for a while, so no sewing Saturday this week.

Milo's Moments

Hi Y'all! I had a good time hanging out with Mama and Daddy this weekend. Look what I found shopping... look close...

my new boxer friend

I looked under the table they were looking on, and wagged my puff tail to get him to come out! He did and we sniffed but he said, no rough housing in the store, so we happily chatted while the pawrents shopped. I had fun meeting Princess earlier in the day.
I snooper-vised Daddy while he pushed around the growling thing all over my yard.

I don't know what's he thinking doing that anyway, but who understands daddies?

I followed along behind him just to make sure it didn't eat him, or any of my toys.

These peeps are keeping a list of likes this week, please visit them!
And, please leave Mama a comment before you go, it makes her so happy and that means I have a chance at more treats!
