I Like Thurs #165

Thursday has made its way once again and time to share a few likes from the past week. It's always nice to visit all who share their posts HERE as it has a positive effect. Thanks goes to LeeAnna for keeping us together to put up these posts. There's usually some tidbit of information to glean from someone else's sharing ... like a good book or fun TV show and sometimes there's a recipe to try!

So, how about that snow we got out here in the Midwest??!! My town got 8 or 9". I give credit to our road crew who had us all plowed out in no time. Even us way back in the back of the subdivision on a cul-de-sac! Here's a peek at some of the snow after we'd shoveled for the umpteenth time!

Believe it or not we're expecting a few more inches tonight! I'd say "Let's Sew!" except I have to get Mom out for her podiatrist appointment today and then there's the usual Friday hair appointment.

The above pictures reminds me that I forgot to share my latest hand stitching project. I've been working with wool and wool pennies on a project by Lisa Bonjean of Primitive Gatherings. I love her STUFF!!! The project is called Winter Penny Mat and is a great portable project.

My Center is Done

Almost Done with the Pennies

Now that my Christmas company is gone and the weather turned to Winter Wonderland, I broke out a "warm" puzzle. Can't you just smell the beach?

Taken Sunday -- Good Start

Those large shell pieces make for some very wonky pieces next to them. It also makes things difficult to keep the puzzle square.

On TV we finished watching Season One of "Man on the Inside" with Ted Danson. He is definitely NOT one of my favorite actors, but he is very good in this Netflix comedy series. His "handler" is wonderful too but I don't recall her name. Supposedly there will be a Season Two released sometime this year.

I'm still enjoying "The Nightingale" by Kristin Hannah. I know there are several of you out there that also love Kristin Hannan.

My beautiful amaryllis plant is in full bloom. My very sweet neighbor brought me another one this year for Christmas.

I'll finish up this I Like post with a couple of recent family pics. After all, I like my family too. Well, most of my family and most of the time! LOL!!!

And that wraps up another week of Likes from around here. Look around you and appreciate all the good things near you. It might just be a surprise how good life can be!
