MY BACKYARD TOUR

 A few NYC MOMENTS.... 
I realize I haven't done a tour around NYC lately...  
Well, it's been so darn cold who can blame me?

Today High 50's (woohoo!)
and lovely.. so after I finished Boo's Pillow...(I think she liked it),

We went for a walk in our back yard.....

TIMES SQUARE.

NO, I didn't post this the wrong way....

Pimp my ride!

 
Tourists.... ;-)

 Street performers....  notice the guy in the AIR over the young ones head....
WHAT?
 OH!
Drag queens....  ;-)

THE GARMENT WORKER by Judith Weller 

We walk by him everyday going to take the subway to school...

After a stroll, and a stop at Cold Stone Creamery...
(I'm a coffee ice cream Addict, with peanut butter added)

I got a few other goodies cleaned up around here...

Time for some tea!

  1. So cool! Brings back good memories of our visit to NYC three summers ago. But it wasn't cold then...it was stinkin' hot! We had SUCH a good time. I nearly cried when we had to leave. Goodbye Manhattan... I'll be back.

    Thanks for the pictures ;)

  7. looks like such a fun back yard - so very different than mine - I know I wouldn't want it all the time but now and then would be cool.

  14. Great photos of NYC .. I especially liked seeing the one of the Garment Worker sculpture. Every time I'd travel to NYC for business I'd see him when I went in that building for quick stops in between walking to vendor appointments. Sadly it's been quite a few years since I've last gone there. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. :-)

  15. How could Boo not love that pillow?! And thanks for the tour...so different to my 'yard', though I did take a trip into Birmingham last night and with Joshua Bell and Justin Bieber both playing there, the audience mix waking the streets was a little surreal! Didn't realise your great purple 'hexes' were so large...each one the makings of a quilt...a series??!

  17. love the pics - that car on the side of the building is fabulous. ooh, and I want that purple one. hee hee hee. I do miss seeing all sorts of liveliness like this in Paris. Don't begin to have a speck of it here. mmmm, that ice cream combo sounds tasty.

  18. love the pictures around the city
    always fun just to watch people isn't it?
    oh LOVE the things on your design wall...
    what fun.
    I need to go visit the garment worker next time I am in the city, something you just must see in person.
    I will be at the R and W show on the 29th
    maybe another day too, will keep you posted! May need to come in to see the empire quilt show, right?

  19. You TOO! I'm a coffee ice cream total addict!!!! And the bad (or maybe good) thing is . . . I can't buy it where I live hardly EVER! I have to go over an hour from home to find it! But when I get on a mission . . . look out! Sometimes you just GOTTA have it, right?
