Think Ruffles on day 6

RUFFLES….an odd word when you break it down….RUF ( as in rough or Rolf as in what a dog does) and yet here we are TALKING- STITCHING-QUILTING Ruffles…Ruffles are soft, delicate, feminine…..I am MAD about RUFFLES !

collection of Fashionista from Camelot Cottons


My obsession as shared with you in the past came from watching Flamenco dancers with their heavily ruffled trains….I was in Spain at the time and at boarding school and I was always thinking of ways to add ruffles to the hems of my slips, socks, under "T's"… Now spin forward decades later and I'm still obsessed with anything and everything RUFFLES. Take where I am this morning- sitting here with my Mac this morning in my temp office upstairs, glancing around and note that ruffles seem to appear at every glance…ON my Oven MITTs ( my oldest recently added gingham ruffles to a lovely pair of red mitts) I have a stool whereby my feet are perched…( being so short, I need to have them resting somewhere) I have a pillow behind my back, yes ruffled…
I note a few Tammy BAGS ready for a photo shoot…YEP ruffled….The tablecloth on this table…yep ruffled…. I am wearing a long skirt, yep ruffled, my under cloths all have ruffles on them…

So it does seem TIMELY that one of our HOPs would be about RUFFLES… Amy our cheerleader for this hop was not realllllly a ruffled kind of person… but that may have changed…She has been ruffling many of us with her cheers and inspiring personality…
And she has gathered some RUFFLED Enthusiasts too…
Let's see WHO will have you RUFFLED TODAY?

I know I know I am late this morning,
we are being hit by a wicked wicked storm and white stuff is
falling from the sky like sheets….eeeek…lol
Our power just went out for a few minutes, our carpet guy cancelled
….he could not see the roads…
and our birds are saying " what happened to spring?"
My DH is home….you cannot see your hand before you…
Yesterday I had all the windows and doors open…it was 42 F…
for us that was a heat wave after -20 - 30 this winter….

We need something to laugh about today…


So our WOW and WOW For CREATIVITY…..

Yes my thoughts exactly…..thanks to this lady who just knows
when a smile is needed….
