What would be your favorite insect and why? think about the good or
pretty insects out there not just annoying ones... did you ever capture
lightning bugs in a jar as a kid?

Oh, I love butterflies!  They are like flying flowers.  There is a butterfly conservatory in Niagara Falls where I shot these photos.  There is also one closer to home.  I haven't been there for a while, though.

I also love dragonflies but it is harder to get a good photo of them.  They are beautiful and they eat other nasty bugs!

I don't think I ever captured lightning bugs in a jar.  I have had some beautiful walks in the evening and seen many of them light up.  It is so magical.  Actually, last summer, while sitting on the deck, there were some close by.  So fun.

I love that we are finally getting some good weather.  It is warm enough to enjoy being outside.  Not so hot that we have to turn on the A/C.  Perfect!

I got to see my oldest son and his family twice in less than a week!  They live two hours away so that doesn't happen much.  Time with family is so very precious to me.  Now we have to plan a sleepover for the three oldest grandchildren.  That will be fun!

   I am glad that  LeeAnna  asks these questions.  It is fun to think about the answers! did you get school clothes and shoes for the start of school? Did you look through the enormous Sears catalogue at all the possibilities and dream?  Remember going to the store with probably a mom, and trying on clothes? A shoe store for your "school shoes" Back-to-school shopping was not done in our home.  Mom bought clothes when she found a good bargain.  Mom sometimes would sew or knit for us.  We also got hand-me-downs.  We were always clean and appropriately dressed for the season.  I hated the ugly footwear she would buy for me.  I now have a very large collection of gorgeous shoes!  Lots of sparkles! My family got together this past weekend.  Cousins, aunts, and uncles all came together for a barbecue at my home.  There were 30 of us all told.  14 of which were under the age of 16.  It is lovely to get caught...

Slow Stitching Sunday

Image
 I think my little fish is finished.  I had thought about adding beads but there is enough sparkle on this little fish.  Some loose threads need to be clipped or trapped underneath when I stitch it into its home.  I had so much fun stitching this fish that I have started another one.  I am also thinking about doing a butterfly in the same way.   They will all find a home in the right project eventually.  In the meantime, I will enjoy the slow stitching!

I have these napkins, threads and fibres to give away.  All you have to do is leave a comment on this post.  I will draw a winner on February 1.  I would love it if you became a follower too but that is not a requirement.   http://vicki-2bagsfull.blogspot.ca     This is the link to Vicki's blog to find more participating blogs!
