Ol' Blues and Patchworks

A gal's bluejeans are like an old friend, esp. that one pair that actually, by some crazy miracle, fit just right. Today I'm 'retiring' this ol' pair of just-right jeans with a touch of sadness. They've seen me through many photography outings. They're thread-bare and the inside seams are threatening to let go any day now. Still, I'm going to miss 'em. I couldn't remember where I'd bought them, but by sheer luck, yesterday I found them at Kohl's. I bought two pair.

This is the Yellow Brick Road lap quilt I mentioned earlier, the autumn-colored one my mom made me. The photo doesn't do it justice; the colors are deep and rich. Just thought I'd share. I'm feeling a bit sentimental, can you tell? Maybe because I've had three days in a row that were reeeally positive, nice days...not something that happens real often and I'm so grateful.
