Haha. About the wallpaper comment, I have a story to tell. I grew up with 5 brothers so our house usually looked like a tornado had just hit! My mama never had dainty things about but secretly longed to have a more feminine living area. In the late 60’s she implored my dad to put up this fancy wallpaper gold velour designed with paisley’s. She enjoyed it for a few months in the parlour until her 4 year old daughter decided to jazz it up. I spent a quiet hour with oil pastels colouring in between the velour design. I had a passion for art and color even then. She never let on to me how sad she was because I was so proud and happy with my work! Years later we laughed and cried about how patient she was with her brood and I reflect on her kindness now and it warms my heart. She passed in 2004 and I think of her everyday!
I LOVE your rug background Deanne…that yarn is so beautiful! Busy but beautiful!
My favourite snack is fresh popped popcorn but it’s hard to hook and eat popcorn at the same time! Have a great day!! 🩷

The USA observes Daylight Savings Time but the only part of Arizona that observes is the Navajo Nation in the northeast corner of our state. I love snacking and go through phases. Currently I can’t get enough Flipz. They are small milk chocolate covered pretzels.
