Blogger Troubles

I have been having a lot of trouble with Blogger.

1. I can not leave comments on all the blogs
2. I can not copy and paste

• Within the HTML/Java script box
• Within the blog list
• Maybe more, but I know for sure those two

Elaine, I have tried frequently to leave a comment on your blog and can not reach you to tell you it will not stick. I hate losing touch with you. I would love to email you, but you have not listed an email within your profile. I would love it, Elaine, if you could email me and give me an email site where I could write you.

It was recommended to me that we use yahoo email accounts for our blogs, and not our own personal/home email. For example, the email for this blog is crgifts2love@yahoo.com.

I know others are having trouble, and I know two things which affect it:

1. The 'full page' comment form always works.
2. Some of the other forms work when the blog owner does not request work verification..

Beyond that, I do not have a clue what is going on.

I do not have a clue why I can not copy and paste with certain functions.

I would love to read what you are finding out.

Cardinal Quilt

This quilt is made by my sister, Leora. She has been selected to enter her winning quilts into the national competition. What an honor. When there, she said many of the winning quilts were very abstract. I prefer a quilt where I know what I am looking at!

These cardinals are tucked behind the black quilt strips which create a window pane. The cardinal outside the window pane has been hand appliqued in place.

It is wall hanging size and perfect for your January decor if you are tired of snowmen.

She learned to quilt on MONDAY.

Her stitches all were fine.

She forgot to make us dinner

So we all went out to dine.

She quilted miniatures on TUESDAY.

She says they are a must -

They really were quite lovely

But she forgot to dust.

On WEDNESDAY it was a sampler.

She says stippling's fun -

What highlights, what shadows!

But the laundry wasn't done.

Nine Patches were on THURSDAY;

Green, yellow, blue and red.

I guess she really was engrossed -

She never made the Bed.

It was wall hangings on FRIDAY

In colors she adores.

It never bothered her at all

That crumbs were on the floor.

I found a maid on SATURDAY.
My week is now complete.

My wife can quilt the hours away;

The house will still be neat.

Well, now its only SUNDAY.

I think I'm about to wilt.

I cursed, I raved, I ranted

Cause the Maid has learned to QUILT !

Thanks, Dena, for letting me share. I thought my husband was going to fall off the chair he was laughing so hard!

Bunny in Little Dress

This little gal and dress made by my sister, Lois, is reminiscent of the dresses my mother use to make us girls. We nine sisters never knew what it was to own a bought dress. My Mom could look at a Sear and Roebuck catalog and make just what we wanted.

Our dresses could be this feminine or much simpler, like the straight skirts we wore as we got older. However, her baby dresses were often this lacy with oodles of ruffles.

I can remember yards and yards of fabric laying across the floor as Mom stitched in that loose stitch so she could ruffle the fabric. Lace like this was seen more often on the christening dresses, seldom on the older dresses.

It seems like I do not see lace much any more. Do you?

Snowman Quilt

Nothing like a few snowmen to brighten up a dark winter day. These little guys hang so cheerfully with January decor.

I find that I like to use a section of wall for monthly decor, that is not a part of my regular decor. Often, monthly decor has color themes which are difficult to blend with the rest of the home. A separate niche can make it possible for you to use some trendy or treasured items.

If your make your own quilts, any color theme is possible. If you don't, create a special spot and have fun.
