Friday Fragments

Here it is Friday again and Mrs. 4444 of  Half Past Kissing Time is hosting another opportunity to unload our sack of ephemera onto her blog.  I really enjoyed visiting with so many new bloggers last week, it is well worth the time.

As I set deadlines for the completion of the big projects in my workroom, I get to think about what will get attempted next.  When I began quilting, it was to use the cutaways left over from sewing clothing----strictly a frugal move by a young mother. So that made me a scrappy quilt lover.  So I began doing this more recently.

I cut my scraps into two inch squares and do this:   http://www.quiltville.com/leadersenders.shtml.

Another interesting thing I read about this week is The Shed Project, wherein the writer seeks to simplify life by getting rid of "stuff" and lose weight.  A discipline of sorts.  The site can be found quickly with  your search engine.

A good deed site of the week is Cedar Bulgaria.  They are providing quality community based (read no large institutions) for disabled orphans.  They are providing family type environments.  I am always surprised by the number of orphaned children overseas.  (Don't ask me why...)

I am annoyed with those people who brag on television about how, with the help of the sponsor, they weaseled out of paying their taxes.  One word for you.  DEFICIT.

Now that I see this, it's possible that some of these might morph into a proper post of their own.  Sometime when I have more time, and fewer projects.

This week we also had a wonderful soup called Tomato, Rice, and Sausage soup.  That's a post for over the weekend.    Happy Friday, people...
