I Like Thursday # 437 books, art, and a Danish

 

welcome ! 

Time for another list of likes for the week, starting with one of my Valentine quilts...The gold and white bit is textured paper, sewn with gold thread, the is a bracelet under it, hand beaded. 

I did a post Saturday with my finished basket for Project Quilting challenge, here it is holding one finished sock, and the second one ready to have the heel turned tonight

I love making stuff... don't you? It's never tedious to me, and it's soothing to my spirit. 

Paiinting

I tried an easy tutorial this week, 

I don't love the colors but after it was done, I got out my gold ink with eyedropper, and scratched on a gold heart. I wrote in a word for one of you in the top right corner ... Shewhoseeks

happy surprise

 I am happy that DH's haircut, came out perfectly this time... I'm okay at the job but not consistent! 

DH says neither is the hairdresser he pays, so.... and his hair grows fast. I learned from watching lots of videos on how to cut men's hair. 

Books of some form

I am enjoying both my audio book, a woman mourns the loss of her husband and holds a woman's weekend with good friends from stages of her life...and it's really good

and my E Book continuing my Fortune in Louisiana series. I LOVE to find a series to tuck into

Cherry Cheese Danish

my pic isn't good but the pastry is REALLY good. We use a puff pastry that is smaller than others but doesn't have chemicals or soy in it. Basically sweetened cream cheese, almond extract, Cherry preserves, bake. 

yum! a cherry danish with puff pastry sheet recipe:

Prompt do you like ice skating, either watching others or yourself? Tell us about learning to skate, if you go now, indoor or outdoor. 

Our family used to go to NC regularly when I was growing up. There was an indoor rink there where I tried to learn as a pre teen. When I lived in Canada I skated outdoors, but it was so bumpy for my skill level. I took a beginner class where we were indoor. The problem was there was a mens hockey practice that went on after our lesson and they looked like wild animals skating around us at high speed if we didn't manage to get to safety before they were released! 

 

As a couple my dh and I went to Lake Placid every year where I spent part of every afternoon watching Olympic hopefuls taking lessons in the Olympic rinks. I loved it, and wrote stories about it while I sat there. Nowadays I watch competitions on TV. 

I don't know why but I've been crying missing my beautiful boy. Was it the allergy pills we gave him? he was just 5, and so many dogs die early here. But the loss is real. 

Now Please visit these folks to see what they liked this week, and answer my prompt if you don't mind.
