I LIKE # 31

                     I like this olive oil infused body cream for feet and hands
                                               in the cold Winter months
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I like having this for breakfast on these cold days....








New to me this week...
But I usually like this brand...








                                       Oooh nice and creamy and yummy.....a real
                                              "Stick to your Ribs" breakfast...
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I like:
                                                     My 2nd cuppa--decaf....
Like this:   
                                         Topped with frothed 1/2 and 1/2.... in my
                                                      handmade pottery "Big Cup"

  &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I like:
 Starting a new craft (to me)...making fabric rope...can you tell I've been watching
Youtube (Darlene Michaud and Scraptastic Patchwork) while resting my arm....??;)))

                                                  &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I like knowing February's color a bit ahead so I can set up and sort my bag 
O'Oranges....
                                           I am planning hourglasses and a new way (for me)
                                               to make pineapple blocks...↡↡↡↡


                                          Here are a couple I couldn't resist trying...
                                                       these are the starting centers...

I know ahead of time ;0000--- {GASP}
it's still January ("It's Green, in January...") 
& more songs
from olden times.....lol  

[I do LOVE the old songs that my Father played on the
piano while  Mom sang along while I was upstairs in bed going to sleep....
wonderful childhood memories....
that's why I know all those words....]

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Finally I like using up the old free cut wedges from three years ago when I was trying
to do Improv Curves  ↣↣↣↣ ↓↓↓↓
                 Since they were all wonkified, it was a challenge to sew them together....
and
it's not really a circle, is it!! Hahahaha,,
it has a bulging part on the right...

I am just calling it an Improv Circle...works for me:)))
↴↶↷ AND
Yes, for you smarty pants out there--
I did use that gorgeous fabric from Dawn
I      Had          To....  I            just                    couldn't             wait...

                                                            And YES YES YES....I KNOW     
                                                               Orange is for February, So:
                                                                MEA CULPA,,,,;0000

                                       ( "...send in The Cops--don't bother
                                             they're here..." ahahaha)

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Drop in and see what "positive" things are going on in our lives...
                 (an antidote to "THE NEWS" these days;0000)

  1. I love orange in quilts, may have to grab that scrap bin next even though I'm not doing the challenge. Oatmeal with blueberries frozen from last summer's harvest is one of my favorite breakfasts too, right behind spinach-feta-tomato omelets, lol!

  2. Hi Julierose! What a fun memory of your mom and dad enjoying time together. That brings a smile to my face. Love all the orange - I adore orange so I would be happy to work with it early as well. Happy Thursday to you. ~smile~ Roseanne

  7. I like orange, so will enjoy watching your adventures in February. That vase or lamp base in the first picture looks rather lovely, too.

  8. All the oranges are so bright and cheerful in the gray winter! And I love oatmeal, I've been making it for breakfast in the morning with a big cup of blueberries, they're juicy and sweet and tart at the same time. Yum!

  9. Great likes. I like when I have been messing with an avocado, it feels so good and your hands feel so soft. The improv circle is lovely. Wow you are just whizzing right along there.

  10. This is funny - I like to use olive oil on my skin. Love oatmeal. And I use the Kuerig. A lot in common. Love orange too.

  11. Ooh- good hand cream is a must in the winter. I like Bob's Red Mills stuff. I tried making rope like that but wasn't happy with the result. I'll be curious how yours turns out. The oranges are so cheery!

  12. I'm not an orange person either, but your oranges look very pretty! What do you do with the fabric rope? I love my Keurig! So convenient!

  13. I enjoyed reading about your likes this week, Julierose! I admit - I sewed with orange this week, too, so you are not alone! :)

  14. I'm not surprised you've started early with the orange - it seems lovely and cheerful for this time of year. Your improv circle looks great - what a good way to use those curves up.

  19. What a delightful post. Send in the cops.....haha. That black vase is beautiful. Olive oil cream? I remember hearing people in Italy and Greece use it on their skin. Makes sense to me.

  21. I am so behind on reading these posts (sorry)! We have a bakery here that served steel cut oats with pecans, raisins, honey and a dollop of devonshire cream. Oh my goodness, it is heavenly! I make up excuses to go there for breakfast :-) Love those orange blocks!
