has asked

did you or do you keep a diary? what kind of things did you put in
yours? ever have a summer crush or vation romance?

I had a diary when I was young but I barely used it.  

I keep multiple forms of diaries now.  My favourite is an art journal.  It is a lovely safe place to express myself in whatever form I see fit.  Often my journal pages look like what is pictured above.  Not really special but I had fun doing it.  Yes, to more fun!

I like that hubby and I got to go to the Royal Botanical Gardens this past weekend.  There was some amazing art there! So fun and whimsical!

    Love your photos from the botanic garden - what fun! I like your art journal saying, too - it's such a good thought.

    Great art at the botanical gardens! I think it is right up your sleeve!

    I have kept a diary periodically throughout my life. They are great to read through years later. It was especially useful to read what I was concerned with as a teenager when I was middleaged and had to teach youths in their teens. It made me understand, be patient with and able to deal with the younger generation because I knew I once had been like them.
    Some of my diaries were illustrated with drawings, newspaper cuttings, dried flowers and things like that. This was long before scrapbooking and journaling became à la mode.

November Bead Journal

Image
Hmm, now I am wondering if this piece needs more beads.  I was thinking it is finished.  I don't like to dither but deciding when something is finished can be a challenge for me.  I am not loving this piece at the moment.  I doesn't make me say 'oh wow' but I am not sure what I would add to it.

   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!
