In My World

If you live in the St. Thomas/London area could you  take a moment and answer this short survery for me?   https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/C2FR82M Thanks, Pam

I love Cora's restaurant.  I've only been to the south London location . . . so far.  It is a little pricey but I think it is worth every cent.  The food is always delicious, beautiful and plentiful.  A couple of weeks back we took our grandsons there as a treat.  Everything was great and we had a wonderful time. And then it was time to pay the cheque and leave . . . Have you ever noticed that strange things always seem to happen to me? Yep, once again . . . Hal and the boys were on the way to the front and I reached for the back of my chair to pick up my jacket.  Our server chose the identical moment to begin clearing the table.  My hand and my jacket were trapped beneath her ample bosom.  I tugged a couple of times, trying to break free.  I said excuse me a couple of times which she ignored.  Hal looked back and asked me if I was coming.  I replied that I would like to if I could get my hand free . . . I have no idea ...

A friend suggested a special kind of swap where each person would bring one element for a layout.  I brought white cardstock, others brought buttons, patterned paper, bling and so on . . . We met at Tim Hortons and the swap turned into a scrapbooking event to create something special from our swap items. This is what I came up with . . .

This sketch is from Scrapbooking with Sketches  by Pam Hedden.

Isn't this pattern cool?  I especially love the way the variegated cotton shows off the pattern.  Thanks to a special Port Stanley friend who enhanced my stash with a giant bag of worsted weight cotton. This pattern is called Climbing Colors of Lace by Janet Nogle and the pattern is available at  http://monthlydishclothoverflow.blogspot.ca/2014/02/feb-16th-kal-day-5-final.html Do you know how hard it is for a Canadian to spell colours  without a u ?  LOL
