Friday's Frown

First:

Have a cookie.  I must warn you that there is a slight danger of a sugar high!  lol

We did this in the kitchen but I must admit that flour made it to the upper levels! :(

We used our colour theory to custom mix purple icing.

I think little Jolina is rather glad she didn't actually have to have any!  lol

I have house guests due to home renovations that are not quite on schedule.  So my schedule is slightly altered!  :)

Friday's weekly report is a bit incomplete but I was very glad to get my tutorial in on Tuesday.

The frown is because of blogging issues.  I use Google chrome and I view my blog roll through google.  I have had nothing but good luck and have not used the verification function.

But since doing the Intentional Blogging series I have gotten some spam which is caught by Blogger but it does come with  the comments when they are sent to my home inbox.  I just delete them.  I think the titles have got me up on a radar somewhere that I hope dies down soon.  There isn't a lot but it is annoying.

I have been noticing some changes to other blogs that I wondered about.  My friend Margaret at Scrap Wisdom Collage had her blog hijacked.   It ended happily.  Then today I read on Sew Many Ways about Blog Scrapers!  Karen shared a link  or you can read her original post.  Karen has just posted a how to truncate your posts to stop this.  I don't know if this is something I need to worry about but I am sharing the information and I'll be filing it away for future review.  It really is too bad that a few can spoil things for so many.

Okay, time to pass some of those sugar cookies around to counteract any lowness and downward curve to the lips!  TGIF!

How should I feel on Friday?

I have been thinking how I should do my blog posts for the week.  A little forethought and preplanning seems to help me focus on what needs doing and when.  It is also the BEST motivator and I can use all I can get!

Mondays on the Move:  I need to get my calendar journal up to date from the previous week and posted.  Then I'm free to work on online classes and tutorials for posting on  Tutorial Tuesday!  With that post published,  I can work on projects  for Wow, what's on the worktable which post Wednesday.  That is also the day Jenn comes for her Creativity 101 class.  Thursdays are gonna be brief with maybe Thoughts-  ideas and photos for inspiration and exploring my design style. I can meditate while I do the mundane things like household chores.  Friday I want to do a review along the line of Friday Finishes, and maybe some forward planning for Friday Fantasies!  lol   I want to get my whole house project portfolio all organized so I can get the Rooster to help me make a time line and an action plan so we can have a Friday Finale about the same time as the Rooster finally retires once and for all and for good.

And then it'll be Fantastic!  We will retire to our hobby rooms and hobby away happily ever after!  He'll be in charge of food production and I'll be in charge of happy hour (24/7)!

Only positive and encouraging commenters need comment.  This is Fantasy Friday and reality is not penciled in!

A Red letter day!

The particular shade or tint of red depends on the degree of urgency needed to finish up all my bright ideas.

I'm off and running to take advantage of the nice weather.

The wheel barrow awaits and the weeds certainly don't.

Laundry is an ongoing chore.

And then there are summer's fruits.

Maybe if I get things finished I'll be able to enjoy some of those wonderful cinnamon hearts that always remind me of my wonderful childhood. Maybe I'll even get a chance to play. 8)

And just maybe I'll get a chance for a real live grown up tea party!
