madKnews: Joy June 24
http://madknews.blogspot.com/2014/06/joy-june-24.html
Random ramblings and occasional ravings. Tuesday, June 24, 2014. Well, I did it again - got so busy I did not have time to post my joys. I'll reach back to the weekend and add what has happened since to bring me joy. I did some decluttering in the house - a never ending goal - and got rid of some things that should have been gotten rid of years ago. Joy!

madKnews: Joy June 17
http://madknews.blogspot.com/2014/06/joy-june-17.html
Random ramblings and occasional ravings. Tuesday, June 17, 2014. I've been too busy to post so I'll have to make up for it. What has given me joy recently? This past weekend I finished a few knitting projects - golf club covers for my brother-in-law,. A wool tea cozy for my sister,. A baby blanket for a niece who is expecting her first child,. And a scrapbook page incorporating valentines from The Man the past couple years (sorry, no picture of that one). Or just a commissioned one? 2 Things @ Once.

madKnews: Joy June 18
http://madknews.blogspot.com/2014/06/joy-june-18.html
Random ramblings and occasional ravings. Wednesday, June 18, 2014. My biggest joy is the weather. It is been and will be hot and humid all week - the kind of weather I hate the most - but today it finally rained and stormed which means the garden got a good watering and weeds will be easy to pull. And it cooled off a bit. Also, I tried my hand at painting a stormy sky. Not quite what I'd aimed for but I'm pleased that I made the effort.

madKnews: January 2015
http://madknews.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Random ramblings and occasional ravings. Friday, January 30, 2015. While reading another blog recently I noticed a post about the blog's anniversary. It hadn't occurred to me that a blog would have one but of course, just about everything has one - books, movies, world events - and I set out to find the anniversary date for my blog - January 30, 2007. So today, it's 7 years old. I still prepare and mail the newsletter but only at holiday time (read Christmas), along with my Christmas cards. It was ne...

madKnews: August 2013
http://madknews.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Random ramblings and occasional ravings. Wednesday, August 28, 2013. I haven't posted much about my garden, mainly because once it gets hot I tend to stay inside and let the weeds grow. Which they have. So here we have the first fruits of the garden. Hopefully there will be more. Quotable quotes; in the category I Could Have Told Him! It Was The Squirrel!

madKnews: Still???
http://madknews.blogspot.com/2014/10/still.html
Random ramblings and occasional ravings. Thursday, October 16, 2014. See the post about the orchid? That thing is STILL blooming. Not blooming new blossoms, although it increase almost double from the picture shown - no, the blossoms are still on the plant and still looking fresh and vibrant. To be sure, a couple have withered and dropped but I have never had an orchid stay in bloom so long. It makes me happy every time I look at it. Quotable quotes; in the category This Orchid Has Honored Its Pledge!

madKnews: July 2014
http://madknews.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Random ramblings and occasional ravings. Thursday, July 17, 2014. My in-laws sent me an orchid in a pot. I had grown several orchids over the years, most of which languished and died when the blooms faded. An orchid I found on a clearance shelf at the home improvement store somehow lasted for years and bloomed again and again. At length, it too perished. I photographed it when there were but a few blooms but over the next week or so more buds bloomed until there were many. At least five or more. ...Paint...

Random ramblings and occasional ravings. Wednesday, July 3, 2013. A while ago I posted about making my own paper gift bags. See how I did it here. While I made the previous bags from brown kraft paper, today I made a bag using wrapping paper. When I unrolled the pink check paper to cut it to size, I discovered the reverse side was blue check. I decided to use that as a design element. It's only there to help shape the bag. To make the gift card I cut a piece of the paper about 2 inches square and folded ...

madKnews: Joy June - Last Day!
http://madknews.blogspot.com/2014/06/joy-june-last-day.html
Random ramblings and occasional ravings. Monday, June 30, 2014. Joy June - Last Day! Like Lemony Snickett, I suffered a series of unfortunate events recently. My joy is that I survived! I met a friend for lunch (joy), something we had been planning but which kept getting derailed by our schedules. I locked my keys in the car. YAURGH! So in spite of some setbacks, I am able to find joy in things after all - perhaps the most joyous part of it! If anything can go wrong, it will." Murphy's Law.
