Really Random Thursday, 2/13/14

Hi, Faithful Randomeers. Let's get started.

Corralled. Good thing he has his phone.

Grandparents dinner at school (his other grandfather was out of town).

 After some shopping the other day, we ate at the mall food court. When either Charlotte or Levi asked, "Why do they call it a food court?" I said, "It is where the judge says 'You can eat lunch.'" It kind of made them laugh. Maybe you had to be there...

 Don't take my food

My brother sent me this mug. Not an easy task for him. He recently moved from Dallas to Washington DC where he has a new high-powered job. But no car yet. So he walks everywhere. Brrrr. It makes me appreciate it even more.

Really huge house under construction. This is from the back. There are more pillars and curvy things on the front part of the house. Imagine the size of the sewing room you could have in this house!

Boys who love their books:

SPORTS:

This is for our son, the avid Dodger fan. 

Toddler ski jumping:

All it takes is some cardboard and duct tape--and a father with this idea

If you have been following the Olympics, did you happen to see this? 

According to the Textile Museum of Canada, "...That is Antti Koskinen, Team Finland's coach, and at Saturday's competition he was busily knitting cream-colored yarn with green needles. Others on the Finnish team will add to the scarf before handing it off to Finland's Summer Olympic team going to Rio de Janeiro in 2016."

I receiving a little knitting in the mail from my Friendship X and + block exchange partner, Carla:

Corey at Little Miss Shabby has started a really great cross stitch-along of quilt blocks. It reminded me of this cross stitch that I did when Aaron was in T-ball, 30+ years ago. I'm looking forward to doing an updated version.

I'm finally binding the quilt that will be auctioned off in April. Lots of binding--the quilt is 116" square. I saw this hint somewhere--wrapping the binding around an empty thread spool. It helped tremendously not to have 500" inches of binding in a pile on the floor.

Pretty quilting.

Shopping at Gap Kids:

If I worked for Gap, I would use this in a print ad. Just sayin'

Self-explanatory:

I was playing around with these blocks the other day and this resembles a heart. So on this Valentine's Day Eve, thanks to all of you who read and link up each week. I appreciate it more than I can say.

Your turn.
