my friend

My little friend died yesterday
a sad day

birthday gift

last week was my birthday 
today came a belated gift
She is as old as I am
we were born in 1952
she is so beautiful
I am a happy girl

HAIKU

Spring is warming
Spring is a cool season
Fun lasting spring

Present

The Tea Party
I had a little tea party
This afternoon at three.
'Twas very small-
Three guest in all-
Just I, myself and me.

Myself ate all the sandwiches,
While I drank up the tea;
'Twas also I who ate the pie
And passed the cake to me

 It is not my birthday yet,
but I got my first present from my dear friend Willy

we had a great day together Sandra Willy and myself
now while drinking tea and remembering all the days we had

Thanks for a fine friendship 
I will make myself an other cup of tea

have a nice sunday

That's Amore - Dean Martin

the full moon was so beautiful last night

and as always it reminds me of this song
 

rainy day

it is grey and rainy day .
a great day to make it cosy inside
fresh flowers a pot of tea some cookies and of course
needles and threads.
No work today just enjoying this rainy day
the snow man quilt and the forest quilt  are at my side
to play with

  and my little friend is helping me
 always on my side telling me her little stories
and I understand
she loves these rainy days when I am just sitting there and stitch
so peaceful so relaxed
so you see it is a lovely rainy day
hope you have a good day to

Addiction ?

I have an affliction
Or is it an addiction?
It really is hard to say.
I wake up each morning,
Sleepy and yawning,
Not ready to face the day.
All night I've thought of plans,
New patterns, designs and bands,
Until I have lost my way.
Each quilt I see
Looks good to me.
I'll make it, come what may.
The more I learn,
The more I yearn
To make a quilt that's gay.
With swatches galore
I still want more!
But somebody's got to pay!
Yes, it is an addiction,
Not an affliction,
And I know it is here to stay!

home alone

 home alone after , a lovely afternoon at the quiltkabinet 
meeting new people, that is always nice 
talking and drinking tea and of course some work done
I could not resist these beautiful fabrics so I took them home
maybe a quilt for my daugther she does not have one for herself

A merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Winter wonderland

IN WINTER I'M ROUNDER.
In winter I'm rounder
and fatter than before.
I'm wearing coats and sweaters
and woolen hats galore.
My hands are as plump as kittens
when I'm wearing winter mittens.
My legs in thick, snug snow pants
look like an elephant's.
Indeed, I must confess
that when I do undress,
I feel as small and light
as a bird flown out of sight.
~~By Sandra Liatsos..~~

my Cats tail

This tail,
for your info,
is not to be stepped on.
I don't care what you were doing,
you should have been careful. Of course I'm down
here - a cat must inspect the drawers
at all times - it's my job!
Now watch out for
this tail!

Gift on a gray day

a gray day by Steve Patterson Thursday, January 27, 2005 Rated "G" by the Author. a gray day today a gray day done come my way a little bit foggy dew and rain a little bit soggy but i ain't blue whatcha' gonna' do i ain't goin' insane ain't gonna' be mundane ain't feelin' no heart pain

and though this day is gray i remember yesterday it was sunny skys were blue ain't it funny whatcha' gonna' do somedays are just that way and somedays are gray gotta' take the rain with the sun gotta' take the pain with the fun no need to go insane no need to run ya' can't appreciate the darkness 'till it's too late can't know it's starkness until there's no light until the day is night until the day is gray until the Sun's passed away a gray day today a gray day done come my way but that's OK there's always another day
