I Like Thursday #190

It's time for I Like Thursday! Please visit LeeAnna over at Not Afraid of Color to link up with more bloggers posting about happy and uplifting topics. My daughter showed me this cookbook. She had to rush out and buy it. I think it's hilarious! It's all recipes that look like cats. You can tell my daughter is a cat lover. The author was on the Great British Bake Off. I hope these recipes taste as good as they look!

I've made some good progress on this Mexican Rose block. The flowers in the corners are slow and tedious but coming out good. Each corner flower also gets a blue center that are small and fast to applique.

When I went to the New England Expo, they had a collection of Alaska quilts on display. I ended up buying the pattern. It's so pretty. After reading the directions,  it looks like a very intense pattern. I plan on buying fabric for this pattern when I visit quilt shops. I'm in no hurry. It only uses 6 different fabrics. 

I felt so bad when I heard Gordon Lightfoot had passed away. I remember playing this song on the piano back in the 70's. I looked around and dug it out of my pile of old music. It was 95 cents back then! I tried playing it but I'm rather rusty. He's got some really low notes for the left hand. I had to actually look them up. The rest wasn't as hard.

This takes us to this week's prompt. What is your favorite musical style? I think mine would have to be classic rock. It's what I grew up listening to and sounds the best to me. When I was in college, I went to lots of concerts. I saw the Who, Yes, Boston, Crosby, Stills Nash & Young. My first concert was Joni Mitchell. That music is still my favorite. I can't stand rap. I hated disco when that first came out. My son is in a few bands and I like his music. He writes a lot of his own stuff. He likes classic rock too. He's seen Dead & Company quite a few times. I feel his gets his music talent from my side of the family. Don't tell my husband?!

 Have a wonderful weekend! Happy Mother's Day!!
