Newest floppy. What I did on my winter vacation.
A bright, bold colored quilt top. It had diamonds, chevrons, and circles along with triangles and rectangles.

What started as a silly 'well if it's going to be 50 on Christmas in Minnesota, I may as well go fly a kite' rebellion has become a monthly challenge to get out and soak up some sun.
It's 42F out there today, so don't let the snow fool you.

November. 🪁✅️ I think this marks 2 years of monthly (+) flights.
A yellow delta kite flies at the end of a string. The sky is blue and fall leaves are still on some of the trees.

Halfsies.
A half and half shot of the Seattle skyline. Half is blue sky, the other half still under clouds and drizzle.

Posed.
The Seattle Space Needle is visible through a sculpture. The sun is shining through a tree on the left of the frame, and the sky is clear.

Sometimes even your character needs to spend some time in a peaceful, beautiful place.
Screenshot from World of Warcraft's Emerald Dream. Small character is seated on a tree branch above the forest, overlooking mountains, water, and floating islands. Color palette is greens, blues and yellows.

A little sunrise, a little rain. Pardon the bus window reflection.
A pale rainbow arcing from upper left to lower right, against a backdrop of dark clouds.

Is it odd when you dream about sharing pictures and tales from an adventure in another dream?

How do they rise up?

Lately: kites and skates, less quilts. I do have 3 at the longarm shop and retreat coming up, so quilt posts will resume.
A yellow delta-style kite flies in a blue sky with wispy white clouds. The string is held to the left. Silver, black and red inline skate toes are at the base of the frame, with a paved trail, park and sunset in the background. The grass is green but there are no leaves on the small trees yet.
