This one is going to Carole, a quilter who lives far, far away from me, has never met me, and has no idea how touched I am that she reads my blog and actually left a comment. I love it when you folks leave me a note. Today, my friends, before your eyes you see post #100. It took me about a year and a month to create those 100 snippets of who I am or what I am going through and I have to say I am grateful for the opportunity to do so.
There have been good days and bad days in this past year. Having you along with me has been like having a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down. (Please, please, please click on that link). Nothing is ever perfect in life, but I have found that having you along has made it better and more fun.
A huge thank you to each and every one of you for all the fun.
Carolina
PS - Carole, I am hoping you will feel encouraged to whip out those supplies you have and have a go. In fact a note to ALL of you: I hope you all feel encouraged and have a go at it. I would love to see your results. Do like I did when I started this blog - just JUMP!
You know, I think I would take a dose of medicine from THAT spoon - it is utterly, devastatingly beautiful! Perfectly curvy and delightful in every way. Clever Carolina!
Now I have that tune stuck on permanent replay in my addled brain....

Wow Carolina what a pretty, PRETTY card! That spoon is amazing, and I mean your artwork spoon, although I'm sure the actual spoon is lovely too.
Happy 100 and I can't wait to see the next 100 posts!
PS My mother-in-law has the morels. One year we found lots, but usually we don't get a single one because the deer love them too!

Cheers to your 100th post! I can only imagine the amount of projects all around the WORLD that have been started, abandoned, and finished as a result of the inspiration derived from your blog. Carolina I can't wait to ready your next 100!! One of my favorite quotes is "Leap and you will find your net" You my dear, have found your net :o)

Carolina, I have to agree, I'm one very lucky lady. That card is so pretty, I'm going to frame it when it arrives. I've been working with the watercolours, but nothing amazing yet. You're so right, jump in and don't worry about the result. Just laying the colours down feels so good.
best wishes
Carole

Happy 100th post! The post card is beautiful! My mother had a sugar spoon just like that when I was a child and I adored it.
