I love that you have the memories of your dad and hope it brings you a lot of comforting memories in the months ahead. <br /><br />I'm a wee bit disappointed at this notion of those who voted to leave the EU being all a bit thick and unresearched. It's as dopey a suggestion as all who voted to remain being just sheep with no imagination. <br /><br />I'm an ex-teacher turned journalist and for a couple of years I produced a weekly national political programme for a broadcasting organisation. Never have I researched anything as much as I did for this referendum - and having done so, voting leave was the only option. We need a lot of healing of attitudes across the country.<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020871316401082930.post-76086269712023663112016-06-27T21:41:00.908+01:002016-06-27T21:41:00.908+01:00Hi Jill!

Perfectly unique and I LOVE the colors. I bet your friend is going to just love it. <br /><br />So sorry to hear about the leaving the EU decision. I've seen a bit about it on the news, and what seems most sad to me is that I read that a majority of voters were looking up what it actually meant to leave AFTER they already voted! It's sad to vote in a negative way, but especially when you're not even quite certain what you're voting about. Prayers sent out to all of your countries there.<br />xoxo<br /><br />PS: I think Annie is almost done with her letter and hopes to mail it this week! carrie@northwoods scrapbookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337824046780952876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020871316401082930.post-38912553595336747242016-06-27T14:58:38.970+01:002016-06-27T14:58:38.970+01:00Hi dear Jill,thank you so much for your sweet word...Hi dear Jill,thank you so much for your sweet words on my blog, really apreciate it!

I made a similar round blanket for my grandson a few years ago. He loves Spiderman so I made it red and blue with black lines in it to resemble a spiderweb. He's 10 years old and still carries it around. :-) Your blanket is beautiful and I know your friend will appreciate it. <br />Blessings, Betsy Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020871316401082930.post-41597454055849183422016-06-27T01:27:03.207+01:002016-06-27T01:27:03.207+01:00Hi Jill!

It is wonderful that you have the blanket you made for your dad and have made a matching pillow...lovely reminders of him, as well as pleasing decor for your home. The baby blanket you are making is stunning! I have never tried to make anything so complicated and really appreciate your beautiful work. I hope the painting in your home goes well this week, and am praying that those in authority will make wise decisions for our world. Are you doing any gardening this year? I did some weeding two days ago...and caught a slug before he could do any more munching on our plants! xxGracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020871316401082930.post-47066771769841320712016-06-26T23:24:33.946+01:002016-06-26T23:24:33.946+01:00Lovely cushion - agree with you re EU x

The UK and the US seem to be of one mind all of a sudden and it's strange that seeing how far we've come we seem to be ready to head back to our segregated past. If Trump wins in November I will firmly believe we have all lost our collective minds. You can at least be thankful that your guys are not planning on arming the entire population to cut down on gun violence.
