On the quilty front....
I made this sign for school. I teach a class we call L'dor V'dor. In hebrew that means from generation to generation. I teach Jewish customs, traditions and holidays.
I have been wanting to make this sign ever since I bought this book by Atkinsons Designs.
Number one. I hate my sign. The kids will probably like it but....icky, icky on my part. Number 2, I didn't want to sew so I used the old paint around the edges technique. ICK. Number 3, The idea was to make it reversible because I am also the librarian. I painstakingly fused and cut the letters for LDOR VDOR and LIBRARY. I fused, painted, bejeweled, and decorated both sides. YEAH it was done. AHEM....I strung the letters on the rod. L-d-o-r-V-d-o-r. I turned the rod around expecting to see L-i-b-r-a-r-y. Instead I saw y-r-a-r-b-i-L!!!!!!! AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! To add insult to injury, I can't even find a place to hang the riffin' raffin' thing!!!!!!
Here is a close up of a couple letters.

Blogging is important to me and I tend to stick to fairly short posts for the most part. While it's tempting to show lots of photos, maybe one with a short explanation or comment would be more manageable.
y-r-a-r-b-i-L
Ha, ha, ha.
1. Do you flickr, I find it easier & quicker to blog from flickr...
2. I don't comment much...
3. 99% of the time if I have to click out of google reader, I don't...
4. I skim rather than read.
5. If something irritates me, or isn't inspiring, or & the "new" format stinks (IMHO), or it is all about advertising, or (I delete it from my google reader - so that I am down to a manageable number of blogs to read.)
6. I follow more people in flickr - as a visual person, I am more interested in the pictures anyway. (There I said it.)
Posting/with photos DOES take me too long - part is my fault, because I want to get each word correct.
Do what you can - YOU feel you might not be posting frequently, yet others may not be, as well. MY posting has slogged down, due to ???? life, I guess. I would miss you if you stopped.
Your letters are ??? not sure how to describe! LOL Surely you don't expect to have them perfect the first time, do you?????
I have the same feelings about blogging. Love it, miss it when I don't but it does take a fair bit of time. I have resigned myself to the fact that I blog when the mood strikes and I want to commemorate something. With Google Reader (or some such) don't worry about not posting very often. When a new post pops up it a happy event. It doesn't bother me if there is a lag between posts because I don't have to go to your blog every day to look. See, everyone wins.
Maybe your post title should have been Shalom, olleH. LOL
