Chats on the Farmhouse Porch
It's time to head over to Patrice's
porch for the weekly chat. Welcome to the new participants in the chat!
Questions
- Are you doing anything special for Valentine's Day? Not a thing.
- When you attend something that isn't totally casual, are you likely to wear dress pants or a dress? I prefer long skirts - usually paired with boots. I love the look of boots and I think that skirts set them off better than dresses.
- Do you use a regular toothbrush or one of the battery run kind? I use a regular one. I've tried the battery ones but I always go back to just a plain old toothbrush.
- Did you have valentines in school when you were a child? We did. We always made "mailboxes" for them. I can remember sorting through the valentines to make sure the right people got the right ones.
- If you could learn a new craft tomorrow, what would it be? I would love to be able to do the fancy quilts that so many people out there do. I think they're beautiful. Sadly, I don't think I have the patience, the time, or the money to do it. I imagine it could be an expensive hobby.
Quilting is an expensive hobby, especially when you are like me and more of a fabric collector than actual quilt maker :)
ReplyDeleteBoots and skirts are a pretty combination. I used to love the Valentines day mailbox tradition in school too.
ReplyDeleteI like long skirts and boots too. I wear them a lot in the fall and winter. Hobbies can be expensive, but I think you get so much more out of doing something enjoyable. Like your first commentor- I buy way more fabric than I need for sewing. Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteI feel about boots like I do hats- they look good on everyone but me. LOL I right there with you on the quilting. I never thought about the cost, but the patience and time issues are deterrents for sure. Birdie (DD3) taught herself how to quilt and I haven't asked her about the cost. I have, however, asked her to make me one. Haha!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you about needing the patience for quilting. I think that is why I have never tried it.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!
i love your sense of style. a dress with boots. fun! i just love that cat on your blog. to fun!! have a great week. ( :
ReplyDeleteMaybe that's why I so seldom do pancakes too! used to do the cornbread fritters with peanutbutter often, but backed off because of the chloresterol. I thought you were only joking about having the 12th off, or would have called. At least you got done what I still need to work on with the house work!
