this is yet another UFO, scrappy plaid triangles, and now the first row is all done, 20 of 'em! only 11 more rows to go. the first few triangles were kinda blah, but as more get done, it's beginning to 'wow' me...this will probably be a donation quilt. *** even in a small apartment, there are fix-it jobs...bought this inexpensive window fan last year and in short order the fan came off the spindle. super glued it twice but unsuccessful. so, put it away until sturdier stuff was on board. today was the day and have applied a heavy-duty epoxy to see if it can be restored. back in the 1970s my mother bought 2 metal box fans from W.T. Grant...remember them? those fans worked fine for well over 35 years despite getting moved a few times. cheap imports can't even last 35 days....i'll stop there but you get the message i'm sure....
after 2 lovely summer days, it's back to rain today even tho temps hover around 70....spent saturday with my daughter and son-in-law celebrating their wedding anniversary. i am so blessed to live near where we can visit--and hug--often. in fact, my list of blessings is long....loved ones are healthy, freedom from want (except for that big screen TV...lol), shelter and entertainment, shorts and sandals weather, plenty of fabric and ideas to last another century i believe...God is indeed good all the time!
PS...whoops, it was the 1960s when my mum got her fans at W.T. Grant....
That is going to be SEW cozy!!
ReplyDeleteI love the plaid triangles. Of course, you could do anything in plaid and I would love it, but the triangles logs are a favorite look.
ReplyDeleteI think my folks had the same two metal box fans most of my adult life. They may still be in Mom's basement somewhere--and I'll bet they still work. The two more "modern" fans we own each have something on the controls that doesn't function properly. The times we live in!
Oh, I wish we could get your rain. We have had too many hot days already and with April being the driest on record and May trying to tie that, fire danger is high and we already have problems. It is supposed to be hot and windy several days this week, but hopefully there will be some rain in the mix to tame the fires already burning, and prevent more for a bit.
wish i could send some your way...another bout of cold, dreary and off/on rain before good weekend...
