Round and round…
I was going back through photos on my phone, weeding and sorting — a never-ending task. Anyway, I found these… again!
These are Amy’s mirrored disco balls. I love them!!!!
Honestly, how can you not love them?
I don’t have a good place for disco balls in my back yard. I don’t look out front as often, but I may put some there anyway. (FYI: you can buy mirrored disco balls online — just google it.)
And, because I like round things, I also have a photo of this lovely antique hubcap. It was on a spectacular car in the De Young Museum in San Francisco. That’s Amy and me in the reflection.
And this!
I really want to paint my own ‘you are here’ circle somewhere. Maybe in the garage… If you paint one, send me a picture!

Yes, I’m mellowing…
There’s a block in the secret project that has 16 points that meet in the center. I drew this block and knew it would be bulky. I also know that it is possible to make the points (mostly) match (there is that one that is way off)…
The problem is that even when the points match, the seam allowances on the back are still there…
It’s like a little mountain in the middle of the block. I could hammer the seams flat, but that’s not a great fix. You know what is a good fix? A circle appliqued over the center which allows me to cut away the bulk AND which is really cute on the block! Done!
In my younger, more hard-core days, I would have worked and worked to on these points. I feel much calmer now that I am willing to let go of some of my perfectionist tendencies :-).
