NEED SOME INSPIRATION!

Pittsburgh has many museums and I love them. They are great sources for inspiration.

I have not been to a museum in the 5 years that I have been married.

The Festivals here can also be inspiring.

The Arts Festival----- Missed it
The 3 Rivers Regatta-------Missed it
The Country Music Festival(not the correct name for it but that is what I call it ) ---Missed it.
The big Butler Fair ------Missed it
Squirrel Hill Arts Festival ------ Missed it
Chinese Boat Festival -------Missed it
West Moreland County fair ------Missed it
Community Days in Forest hills -----Missed it

There are a lot more but I have missed them all.

Tonight I am going to:

I wished I had a camera so that is on my wish list. I will use the cellphone camera and hope for the best.

This may enable me to get out of the slump that I find myself in right now.

My discovery!

As a little girl I did not play with dolls, did not play house. I climbed trees and explored how things worked. Tried to make my bike do things it was not meant to do. My mother complain when I was a toddler she would dress me in frilly dresses to play and I would prompty find mud or dirt. My mother and father had a loving relationship but I really did not see my father much. He worked the night shift. I had a close relationship with my mother. She taught me to crochet and make clothes. She kept a beautiful home and was a great cook. I felt that my father did not appreciate her enough so I decided that I would not get married and deal with someone who did not appreciate me. When my mother died it totally crippled my father. I realized just how much he appreciated her. When she first died he would just sit in a chair and just stare for hours. Finally I started talking to him and he revealed just how much he needed her. Then I decided that I should not get married because I wou...

Quilt finished!

I have pictures of the unfinished quilt but I forgot to take pictures of the finish project. Betty and her sisters are planning a anniversary party for their parents and this picture quilt is a present from Betty. I remember her finding the picture putting the images on fabric and getting everything pieced together. This was to be a birthday gift for her mother but when everything was put together it did not look right and she was so disappointed. The block themselves looked find it was the framing of the blocks that threw everything off. The green sashing was sew on all four sides of the blocks and since the blocks were not squared off some the block was not attached to the sashing . Basically the blocks need to be trimmed and squared to size before sashing was added. So as stated in the previous blog I took on the job for my friend. So at 3:00 am I was finally finish. I have it with me at work and as I look at it I am happy with the work I did but I also see where it coul...
