Definition: “A milkshake is a sweet, cold beverage which is usually made from milk, ice cream or iced milk, and flavorings or sweeteners such as fruit syrup or chocolate sauce. Outside the United States, the drink is sometimes called a thickshake or a thick milkshake or in New England, a frappe, to differentiate it from other less-viscous forms of flavored milk.

Full-service restaurants, soda fountains, and diners usually prepare and mix the shake “by hand” from scoops of ice cream and milk in a blender or drink mixer using a stainless steel cup. Many fast food outlets do not make shakes by hand with ice cream. Instead, they make shakes in automatic milkshake machines which freeze and serve a premade milkshake mixture consisting of milk, a sweetened flavoring agent, and a thickening agent. However, some fast food outlets still follow the traditional method, and some serve milkshakes which are prepared by blending soft-serve ice cream (or ice milk) with flavoring or syrups. A milkshake can also be made by adding powder into fresh milk, and stirring the powder into the milk. Milkshakes made in this way can come in a variety of flavors, including chocolate, strawberry and banana.”

Definition: A pen (Latin penna, feather) is a writing implement used to apply ink to a surface, usually paper, for writing or drawing. Historically, reed pens, quill pens, and dip pens were used, with a nib dipped in the ink. Ruling pens allow precise adjustment of line width, and still find a few specialized uses, but technical pens such as the Rapidograph are more commonly used. Modern types also include ballpoint, rollerball, fountain, and felt or ceramic tip pens.[1]

Definition: “A river is a natural watercourse,[1] usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, a lake, a sea, or another river. In a few cases, a river simply flows into the ground or dries up completely at the end of its course, and does not reach another body of water. Small rivers may be called by several other names, including stream, creek, brook, rivulet, and rill. There are no official definitions for generic terms, such as river, as applied to geographic features,[2] although in some countries or communities a stream may be defined by its size. Many names for small rivers are specific to geographic location; examples are “run” in the United States, “burn” in Scotland and northeast England, and “beck” in northern England. Sometimes a river is defined as being larger than a creek,[3] but not always: the language is vague.[4]

Rivers are part of the hydrological cycle. Water generally collects in a river from precipitation through a drainage basin from surface runoff and other sources such as groundwater recharge, springs, and the release of stored water in natural ice and snowpacks (e.g. from glaciers). Potamology is the scientific study of rivers while limnology is the study of inland waters in general.

No extraterrestrial rivers are currently known, though large flows of hydrocarbons described as rivers have recently been found on Titan.[5][6] Channels may indicate past rivers on other planets, specifically outflow channels on Mars[7] and are theorized to exist on planets and moons in habitable zones of stars”

Quote: I’ve learned from being in the woods that titles don’t mean much and that actions speak a lot louder than words – even in Congress. I always look for the people who want to act – people who want to run the river or climb the mountain – even if they’re not members of my political party. –Mark Udall

CPP Response #197: West

I have a friend who is interested in working with map imagery in her quilts. This week we were talking about a UK quilt artist who creates map imagery in her quilts as well. There is a book Maureen inspired me to buy called Personal Geographies by Jill K Berry. I guess I have maps on the mind.

I really had fun working on this image. I am not sure why I liked it so much, but I did.

Have your own fun by looking at the original prompt and creating your own response.

CPP Response #196: Spill

This drawing is an obvious response, but I really did not want to try and respond with an oil spill. It does look a little weird to me, too. There is something about being able to see the table through the glass that my mind cannot compute, though logically, that is the way it should be.

This was actually a surprisingly hard image to draw. I am not sure why, but getting the spill to look like it was coming out of the glass and, of course, the table behind the glass were challenges. Who doesn’t need a good challenge every week?

I am kind of fond of this response.There are several things I like about it, most of which, I realized, have to do with continuity. There are a number of elements that you will recognize from other responses.

I am also interested in the tree I was going for spring. I used my new-ish pens and I am pleased.

The bubble dress on the little girl on the left is a little out of control. I wasn’t going for realism, though, so it is ok. Also, I have known a few little girls to dress in an over the top manner on occasion.

Julie has the Best Batiks

I got two Recchiuti boxes of windmill pieces last week from Friend Julie. I think I have mentioned that we are cutting for each other and doing the same shape this time.

She really has the best batiks. Almost all the pieces she sent to me were batiks and I really like them. I didn’t photograph all of them; just a sample of what she sent.

In the course of putting them away, I realized that I have to find another storage container. I crammed these into the current containers, but no more will fit.

I use plastic scone containers that I get from Whole Foods. I am out of those storage  containers. I’ll have to stop at Whole Foods and get some more scones. 😉 It is a requirement since I can reuse the containers to hold my quilt patches.

I am still behind, but not as behind as this photo appears to indicate. I have a backlog of CPP responses to post, though I have been slowly responding. My problem is that I would rather respond and post them in order, but I get stuck on one and then don’t want to move on to the next until I have finished the problem prompt. I really need to try and get over that.

Definition: “Dance is a type of art that generally involves movement of the body, often rhythmic and to music. It is performed in many cultures as a form of emotional expression, social interaction, or exercise, in a spiritual or performance setting, and is sometimes used to express ideas or tell a story. Dance may also be regarded as a form of nonverbal communication between humans or other animals, as in bee dances and behaviour patterns such as a mating dances.”

I wasn’t able to attend the meeting last weekend, but got my start to Kelly and she shepherded it to the meeting and to the person who will work on it.

She has given my piece as well to the person who will work on it. I put it in a bag I made a few years ago as I thought it would be nicer than a plastic bag or a cardboard box.

I included one of the small books Maureen made for me for thanks last year so that people could write their thoughts somewhere organized.

As I thought, I used a group of fabric I bought at Birch Fabrics a few years ago. They are definitely older fabrics, but favorites of the modern set as well. I hope I haven’t embarrassed myself by the fabrics I chose. I added a few others to add interest. On the off chance someone bought the same group and made a quilt from it, I wanted mine to be a little different.

I can’t wait to see the piece that I get to work on.

Again, I am not sure I succeeded in this response, but I do feel like I am stretching myself, which is a good thing.

Have you seen the original prompt? I have been responding to the prompts, but not posting them. Since I have not been sewing much, I have been scraping the bottom of the barrel for posts and voila! You get a prompt response.

I made a mistake on this one overlapping some of the background with the foreground, so the flashing light is not highlighted.

Live and learn.

Enjoy the process.

Poem: A Boat Beneath a Sunny Sky by Lewis Carroll

A BOAT beneath a sunny sky,
Lingering onward dreamily
In an evening of July —
Children three that nestle near,
Eager eye and willing ear,
Pleased a simple tale to hear —
Long has paled that sunny sky:
Echoes fade and memories die:
Autumn frosts have slain July.
Still she haunts me, phantomwise,
Alice moving under skies
Never seen by waking eyes.
Children yet, the tale to hear,
Eager eye and willing ear,
Lovingly shall nestle near.
In a Wonderland they lie,
Dreaming as the days go by,
Dreaming as the summers die:
Ever drifting down the stream —
Lingering in the golden gleam —
Life, what is it but a dream?

Definition:  “A boat is a watercraft of any size designed to float or plane, to provide passage across water. Usually this water will be inland (lakes) or in protected coastal areas. However, boats such as the whaleboat were designed to be operated from a ship in an offshore environment. In naval terms, a boat is a vessel small enough to be carried aboard another vessel (a ship). Another less restrictive definition is a vessel that can be lifted out of the water.”
