Just finished some blocks for a baby boy quilt. It's going to be one of a set for twins... I think that some white sashing will tie them all together!
Here are some pictures of the American Mall demolition in March 2014.
The American Mall in Lima, Ohio opened in 1965 and originally featured Montgomery Ward, Pangles, and The Bailey Company as anchors. Montgomery Ward later became Burlington Coat Factory then The Andersons. The Pangles grocery store later became Phar-Mor. The Bailey Company later became a Well's discount store then King's then Value City. The interior of the mall was closed in 2008 with the last anchor, Andersons, closing the following year. The American Mall was demolished in early 2014.

One final block for Christina's @akchrissymae 'cat lady' traveling quilt. 😻 I made a few #polaroidquilt blocks and I'm pleased to get some sewing time on a Sunday. I need to make a whole quilt out these blocks. 💕🐱🎀

She wanted stars using the owl print she sent! I maybe threw in a tree too!
I hope it works... sorry if it looks a little busy with all the polka dots!
After a nice Tuesday, storms started in the evening and raged across north Alabama. We were without power or phone service/signal for about 18 hours. We had no idea what was going on other than a few text messages from my sister that I did manage to get, and then- just the tornado warning sirens going off from time to time. Not a great way to spend the night. This was a blockage on one end of our road- tree after tree on the road, and downed power lines in the ditches! I think we had to back up for 1/2 a mile! I had been terrified earlier, but for Ken having to back down the steep road in the dark- well, thank goodness for his patience and the modern technology of the backup camera!
Some places the sun just can't reach, always for the better. This was a cloesup shot of a frozen gate in Narusawa Ice Caves. The cave is actually tiny, at least for a big ol' American like me, there's one segment that requires you to get down and crawl, which I guess isn't completely out of the ordinary for most cave explorers but it was for me. Since the tunnels were small, I tried to get up closer for this shot to highlight that small space just a bit more clearly.
What's fascinating is parts of this lava tube aren't just blocked by natural ice, there's a larger reason this gate was here. Some of these tunnels go on for miles and miles, some reaching as far as other islands (most popular theory is Enoshima Island in the east).
The tour itself is still rather small, only around 4 rooms before going back to the surface so it is a self guided tour, and if you plan on going, remember that this is an ICE cave. It doesn't matter how warm it may be outside, you will feel the temperature drop in a drastic way when you descend.
And to make things a bit more mysterious, this cave lies within the acursed Aokigahara Forest, which I am not brave enough to talk about in detail, at least not today.
Hit 'L' to view on large.
One thats been done a lot and been on my radar for a good while.
La Crypte, a catacomb of underground graves in Belgium. A stealth approach if you want to visit these with no interruptions.
The impromptu 2 day tour with camerashy and host to France and Belgium, with some new places, a lot of travel with minimal sleep and some goals being accomplished by getting to a certain school.

Block Island is part of the U.S. state of Rhode Island. It is located in the Atlantic Ocean about 13 miles (21 km) south of the coast of Rhode Island, 14 miles (23 km) east of Montauk Point on Long Island, and is separated from the Rhode Island mainland by Block Island Sound. The United States Census Bureau defines Block Island as Census Tract 415 of Washington County, Rhode Island. As of the 2010 census the population of 1,051 lived on a land area of 9.734 square miles (25.211 km2).[1] The island is part of the Outer Lands region, a coastal archipelago made by the recessional and terminal moraine that resulted from the Wisconsonian Laurentide glacier retreat, about 22,000 years ago.[citation needed]
The Nature Conservancy added Block Island to its list of "The Last Great Places"; the list consists of twelve sites in the Western Hemisphere. About 40 percent of the island is set aside for conservation.[2] Presidents Bill Clinton,[3][4] Dwight D. Eisenhower,[5] Franklin Delano Roosevelt,[6] and Ulysses S. Grant[7][8] have visited Block Island. Other famous visitors include Amelia Earhart and Charles Lindbergh, who each made separate trips to the island in 1929.[9]
Block Island is coextensive with the town of New Shoreham. The island is a popular summer tourist destination and is known for its bicycling, hiking, sailing, fishing, and beaches. The island hosts two historic lighthouses: Block Island North Light, on the northern tip of the island, and Block Island Southeast Light, on the southeastern side. Much of the northwestern tip of the island is an undeveloped natural area and resting stop for birds along the Atlantic Flyway.[citation needed]
Every summer the island hosts Block Island Race Week, a competitive, week-long sailboat race. On odd years, the event is held by the Storm Trysail Club, and on even years by the Block Island Race Week. Yachts compete in various classes, sailing courses in Block Island Sound and circumnavigating the island.[citation needed]
Other popular events include the annual Fourth of July Parade and celebration. During these times the island's population can triple over the normal summer vacation crowd.

Here are some antique Lego building blocks from the 1940s. These were made before Lego started making plastic toys. Pretty nifty, eh?

Spotted this great block of apartments when visiting Deli 4 You Eastern European grocery store in Norridge, near Montrose and Harlem. (Norridge is a suburb entirely surrounded by Northwest side Chicago.) Some of the buildings had replaced the front doors, but at least a couple still had what must be the original style.
This block surprised me. I wasn't going to make it. I didn't like it. But eventually I changed my mind and now it is the first block I can honesty say I don't feel like remaking. I do however, really like link text a__l's version on instagram to. In fact I love all of her blocks... very modern, very cool.
