CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER

I'm an orderly person. Maybe to the extreme. I realized I missed including a photo in my post yesterday - so before I can continue with my journey, I have to include it here. 
Made in 2k5 or 2k6
On the way to the Bay Front Plaza Hotel, I spent Thanksgiving night with my brother and his wonderful family in Orlando. 
Our room is the window downstairs in the middle.
He's a big fisherman (his hobby and passion) and is President of Central Florida Offshore Anglers. They have an auction every year - which he and his wife work very hard at making successful - and lobby congress and do all kinds of good things for fishermen - both professional and sport - and the environment.
View out our Hotel window.
Anyway, I donated the above quilt to their auction one year and it didn't sell.
But neither did much else due to it being the first year of the big 'depression' in the USA...(especially Florida). 
So, baby brother confiscated it as his own and I'm happy to know that it hangs on his living room wall. It's an old one that I hadn't taken pictures of in it's finished state so once again, fuzzy pix due to my broken camera.
While I was blissfully yard sale-ing, I came across a book on how to draw insects
And since I was writing Christmas cards...I included the praying mantis in one of them. My niece is gonna think I'm weirder than she already does when she gets this card.


From the other side of the window.
OK...I feel better now. That covers the weekend and I just KNOW you can't wait to see the pix of the next seven days but alas, I must go. 
I have my Colombian quilt group coming today and the house needs a little attention!!!


Love and all that good stuff!


PS (I'm linking to WOYWW and you'll love what you see when you go there)!

  1. That looked so good staying in a Hotel right by the water. So glad those photos came out okay. I can see why your brother kept the quilt, it's lovely - can't understand why it hadn't sold, but that was a bonus for your family....ybf ann.
