I like #133

Welcome to another week of things to like.  This week has been a bit better than the last few, still crazy at work and this upcoming weekend will be stressful, but plenty of things to like along the way!

1.  I like the bunny that lives behind my air conditioner!  He always comes out when I mow the lawn, but seems to go back to his little spot afterwards!


2.  I like that my dahlias are still going!  One of the only good things about having the summer that is still summer in October is that the dahlias are still blooming away!




3.  I like quick projects!  I crocheted up this potholder today,  apparently it's a pretty common way to make a potholder, but I'd never tried it before.  You make one long chain and then crochet around and around.  That becomes the diagonal and it sort of naturally folds into this double sided square.  I don't really like this yarn, but it was the only cotton I had and I do enjoy using things up!


4.  Caught this nice sunrise out my window this weekend.  Pretty colors!


5.  I discovered a place here called the Tom Love Innovation Hub.  It's a big maker lab that is free and open to the public.  They have a laser cutter, so I took a quilt down there the other day to see how it would cut.  It worked great and now I'm experimenting with things!  I love that.



6.  I love my pups! (Duh).  We got to walk several times this week, and they're always so excited.


7.  Finally, I saw this at the grocery store and the incongruity made me smile.

I hope you've all had a good week!  Click on over to LeeAnna's for more people finding things to like!

  1. I love those watermelons! My gosh, those dahlias! Oddly enough the rabbits winter under our air conditioner too and there are lots of bunny buttons to show for it come spring. Aren't dogs great for us out and about too.

  2. HAHA! Texas Watermelons with peaches in it. I love it! And your dogs going for a walking - I can just see their tails wagging. The laser cutter - how cool is that?! And it cuts so perfectly, of course. Can't wait to see where that is going . . . ~smile~ Roseanne

  3. Your dahlias are still blooming and so beautiful - wow! My grandmother used to make potholders like that, and I had many. I should learn to do it myself now! Love your dogs' ears in that photo - they are ready to go walking! Hope you have a good weekend, Shannon.

  5. The bun is cute. I had a whole warren, but then the vultures arrived but I think they are out and about again. Cute pot holder. What a neat thing, the laser cutter. So many great likes this week and what's not to love about those beautiful Dahlias still blooming.
