A 100 Best List for the Year

What are the top 100 things that were good, great, terrific, or awesome in your life in 2024?  It's that time of year to write them down! 

I have finished my trek down memory lane for the year and am amazed with all the things I listed.  Here are my top 5 as ideas to get you started.

  1. The choice of the word 'joy' as my word to journal about in 2024 like how it infused my perception and experience throughout the year.  The effort was totally worthwhile!    
  2. I met up with friends and fellow travelers overseas...a spontaneously-planned trip for me and a great time!
  3. I loved the five seasons of 'Fringe' a kind of sci-fi, time travel, mystery TV series that originated on the FOX network some years ago.  What I loved about it was the character development over the seasons as well as the sometimes-nuanced and other times easily detectable differences between the same character from one time to another time.  You have to suspend belief of course, and the sort-of mad professor was great!
  4. I loved hearing the Pasadena Pops perform while eating a lovely meal outdoors on a warm and clear summer evening.  It was an awesome event!
  5. I helped with a local voting operation for the November Presidential election.  There were many good people involved and it was a joy working with them.
Other things that can be listed are as simple as a type of food you loved eating, a book you loved reading, something you discovered that was cool, a show you enjoyed, something you made, a meaningful gift you received, a goal you achieved, something neat you found, tools you loved using, etc.  You can keep them simple or add as much detail as you want.  The skies the limit, so-to-speak.  Have fun!! 

Note:  The 100 Best List for the year is an idea adopted from Austin Kleon.  Here is the link to his list for 2023:  https://austinkleon.com/2024/01/03/100-things-that-made-my-year-2023/

Fabric Basket - Pretty Easy

This basket was made in Jane Hall's half-day course at IQF 2014.  The greatest amount of time involved in making it--was cutting and sewing the strips together.  Otherwise, it went together easily and quickly (3 hours). These baskets are a great holiday gifting idea that you can match to family and friends' home decoration color schemes.  They're fun and useful besides.

Highjacked Blog Photo

My profile photo was highjacked ! For those of you who are blogging, be wary. There are some unscrupulous folks out there who may be using or about to use a photo(s) you've uploaded to an online photo-hosting site. At the time I created a blog, having a URL for a photo uploaded online was the only way to insert a photo in your profile or to create a custom header. There had been no problems for a long while. This morning, however, I did a Google image search for my name and found my photo linked to a totally different blog than my own! It is possible I didn't mark my file with the online photo-hosting site as private, but I didn't expect this to happen. I don't know whether marking it private would have actually averted the situation, but I'm not waiting to find out. I eliminated my membership to that online photo-hosting service today and caution anyone to be careful with uploading images to the internet . If you read the terms of agreement at many sites, you'...

Life Book 15 - Week 36 Project Completed (or nearly completed)

This project went in an entirely different direction than the Life Book 2015 lesson.  That's ok because we're also working on accepting those times when we move in our own direction using the lesson purely as a launching point. This piece involved experimenting with collage on a substrate (muslin covered with joint compound), followed with paint, more collage, and then the felt, fabric and beaded plant. This piece was created through a class offered by Tamara Laporte from Willing Arts Ltd. For more information, visit this link:  www.willowing.org .
