2. what has been the highlight of your week?
I hosted my family for a barbecue.   It is a Labour Day weekend tradition we have been doing for over 10 years. I love seeing everyone!  Some people have quite long drives, but they still come.  Some of them this is the only time we see each other.  

3.imagine you won the lottery, what are your first three purchases?
Fun!  I would buy a wonderful vacation for my family.  There are 12 of us, with another one on the way! Next, I would give my sons some cash; I guess that isn't buying something.  Still, it is what I would like to do.  The third purchase would be some home renovations.  We have been wanting to replace the flooring on our main floor.  These would be the first purchases.  A big chunk of money would go into retirement savings!

4. Prioritize your favorite here, one two three

TV, books, movies

Books, then TV and movies last.  Most of the movies we have seen lately have not been great.  Have my tastes become more discerning or has writing become extremely poor?  Maybe some of both.

Two more sleeps and we will leave for our 40th anniversary trip.  I am so grateful we get to travel.  It is such a treat!  Looks like the weather is going to be warm next week in London.  I wasn't expecting that.  I have to rethink my packing list!

Have a wonderful September!

    Bravo for inviting the family to a great gathering.
    You are so generous! Your sons and their families would love your gifts of trips and cash, should you win in a lottery.
    Have a wonderful holiday in the UK. Yes, pack clothes for changeable weather!

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.

Slow Stitching Sunday

  I have felt the need to play with very bright and vibrant colours of late.  This mandala I made a few years ago but it was calling to me again.  I have been loading it up with stitches to add texture.  I realize these brights aren't everyone's taste.  Since I am making it for me, I am not about to worry about what other people like or don't like.  Playing in this field of colour makes me happy!

Slow Stitching Sunday

 Here are some more bright and cheerful flowers.  These flowers are such a fun playground for me.  I can think of numerous ways I want to use them.  It is a good thing I have a plethora of scraps for making them.  The possibilities are truly endless!  It looks like it is going to be a lovely day.  I am imagining enjoying some stitching outside this afternoon.  The weather looks perfect for it.   I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
