A Good Day

 Today Friend Laurie and I went to Shipshewana. "Shipsy " is a destination for quilters and I try to stay away now that I'm not buying fabric anymore. In my  attempt to use what I have it's just not safe to go to a place like Lolly's or Yoder's or any other fabric store, especially there. But today I did. Truly if I was going to look for anything it was something to use as a background for the churn dash stitch along Donna convinced me to join. I found that. And a few other bits. Self control was the name of the game.

Laurie and I stopped at food places, too. Oh, my, I bought more in the bulk food places than I did fabric! 

I never carry a purse anymore but this day I wore slacks that didn't have pockets so I HAD to take something.  I told Laurie I  won this bag at retreat.  Barb made it and I won it and it is so cheery it was a good take along today. I LOVE it. When Barb made it she texted a picture to Sally and me and I flipped. What luck that I won it a couple of months later.  Laurie took my picture to document I was carrying the bag, any bag, AND paying for my fabric(s).  Yes, I did buy but was pretty darned controlled about it.

 

There seems to be a lot of photos on IG and FB showing a photo of the day.  Last night I thought about what I could post one photo of per day. I don't do enough IG to remember and never post on FB so if I were going to  try it it will have to be a blog thing. And since I can't get PH to brake for antiques or ice cream he will, with much grumbling, stop so I can take photos of clothes hanging on a line. It's June. Warm enough to hang clothes and today was plenty windy and warm enough to dry them.  So. Since we were driving through Amish country and I  "encouraged" Laurie to stop a couple of times ( it could have been lots more than a couple of times ) I'll   reminisce some of my favorites each day. I hope I remember to do it.

These are for the first three days of June.
