Humor is so important for our mental and physical health. I thought all of us would benefit from quilting humor.
We need to laugh together, and also at ourselves. Laughter helps make each day better.
All of us have rough days or weeks. It is nice to take a few minutes to be light-hearted and just grin and/or chuckle. I found these fun memes and pictures on either Pinterest or Bing clip art. Enjoy these smiles for quilters. Smiles for Quilters: Smiles for all of us: And Finally: Life is stressful, and sometimes not very fun. I think most of us have reached the limit of our tolerance for the news, politicians of all types,…
Sometimes, we all just need to stop – take a deep breath – and look around us for things that make us happy. Then there is laughter. Both the Bible and doctors say that laughter is good for our health. I know…I know. I did not post last week. The time just got away. Between working, cleaning up in the garden, painting the kitchen, and finishing the binding on a quilt the week was over before it occurred to me…
Some days the best that can be said is that it would have been good to stay in bed that morning. All of you have been there. Some days a good dose of humor, quilting, and getting by is the best place to be. This past week has been a “grin and bear it” kind of week. Having a sense of humor, and a quilting project to work on is the best thing that happened each day. The small things…
Most of us quilters have come up against the problem of “ugly fabric” (what should I do with it?) After all, it followed me home. It is just fine to describe a fabric as “ugly” – we are talking about an object. All of us have a different opinion of what we think of as beautiful vs. ugly fabric and there is no reason not to be honest. After all, if everyone liked the same colors and designs there would…
I love my mom-in-law, she is such a cool lady. She does not quilt, but she loves my quilts. Over the years she has given me many, many yards of quilting fabrics for holidays, birthdays, and just because. Today the UPS man showed up with another box of fabric from her – just because. The mom-in-law is a wonderful oil painter of scenery. We have entirely different tastes in color, patterns, and end products. That is one reason why I…
I have not been spending much time reading the daily news. Frankly, I end up either angry or sad. So much chaos and upsetting happenings. Enjoy life. Remember that it is a new week – smile and quilt. I hope you enjoy these “pins” and are encouraged as we get going on a new week with these fun things from Pintrest. Be productive and get some piecing or quilting done this week. While working on a quilt, listen to an…
Remember the saying “Laughter is the best medicine”? This week has been rough. We need something light hearted in the midst of all the anger and fear being projected by events and media. Quilters – laughter is good for us. Let me encourage you, this time shall pass. The year of 2020, which started with promise, has deteriorated into a full blown mess. But as my grandma would say, “make lemonade from those lemons.” With that in mind, I thought…
Quotes to Start Your Monday – The first day of the work week can be tough, after all, we would rather be quilting or doing something quilt related than going off to work. But we have to work to pay those bills and support our quilt habit – right? Today, I just thought I would share a few of my favorite quotes that bring a smile to my face and encourage me as I am at work and wish I…
