Yes, dropping words seems bad but honestly, in 15 years in elementary school I don't remember the word "adder" being used. (Ok, how would I remember 1 of millions of words heard!) But it does make some sense to provide words that the children are hearing and possibly using. I do see the need to allow kids to go out into nature to see the beauty of it. Love your little pile of crochet flowerettes.

I had them cut the background of the stem part of the block in half, insert a 1" strip of fabric on that bias side, then pinch center of each next adjoining parts to line them up and stitch back together to get the stem. This was for a 12" finished block. Some did Tea Leaf: without the stem. I won the pile of blocks and re-did that part inserting the stem as described above. No hand work. Made a beautiful quilt for my sister's bed! They love it!QuiltGranmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09225951118220180796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992849643268817750.post-78451644047179089952019-10-27T12:01:26.364-07:002019-10-27T12:01:26.364-07:00You have so many pretty projects in the works.

At least they don't do any damage. I can see words being added to the dictionary, but not deleted. Thinking does evolve as time goes on about creating new words. It used to drive me crazy when I would hear people say "conversate" and low and behold it has been added to the dictionary. WHY does THAT make it OK with me to use the word. Am I becoming an "old fogey?" your stitching projects are lovely.<br />xx, CarolCarol- Beads and Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062821517519300477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2992849643268817750.post-27212353359084605962019-10-27T00:10:12.012-07:002019-10-27T00:10:12.012-07:00How strange that words like that can be dropped fr...How strange that words like that can be dropped from a dictionary - they are the words of things, not fashion words.

There was a buck chasing a doe around my backyard earlier today. They may be pretty, but they are quite destructive. I've had to put cages around many shrubs and trees to keep them from rubbing their antlers on the younger trees trunks. It takes off the bark and kills the tree. You certainly have some pretty projects under way.<br />Pat<br />MissPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807348837446241284noreply@blogger.com
