022213 FRIDAY FILL-IN

And...here we go!

Paisly was big in the 70's but not so much these days. Maybe it's making a come-back with all the retro/vintage styling. It makes a great quilting design especially for whole-cloth quilting where you can really see the quilting design.
 

I really need to take the time to go searching while shopping to find just the right hat for the summer concert season - stylish and yet practical.
 

Where is the energy, focus and drive? I hate it when my "muchness" seems to fade.
 

I thoughts last week, "Will the pain and stiffness/swelling in my wrist never end? And then I went to see Becky, my acupuncturist, and now my wrist is almost back to normal. She is definitely a miracle worker!
 

Sometimes, less is tough to be satisfied with, but cutting back is easier when the container (bag, page, cup, plate, time increment) is smaller. It's a great way to fool they eye.
 

An amazing fact: I go years and years without every needing it and all of sudden it seems every new recipe I want to try is calling for Grey Poupon. You can find one of my favorites HERE.
 

And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to watching ARGO, tomorrow my plans include enjoying the live-streaming BSO concert on wghb.org, and Sunday I want to sit in my chair and read all day - ahhh, the height of an ultimate indulgence. Maybe I'll watch the HUNGER GAMES, too.

021713 UNCONSCIOUS MUTTERINGS

I say ... and you think ... ?

Schedule: do not box me in with a tight rushed schedule - immediate stress

Guest: thinking ahead and planning for when Betty comes at the end of the month

 

Stall: procrastinate, in a holding pattern, me at the moment

 

Cold: the weather still ... ready for spring temps (but not the mud)

 

Editorial: comments and asides - the chatter that lurks in my brain

 

Striped: Nancy pieced her striped blocks at quilting yesterday

 

Curtains: wonder about adding my red/white blocks to a white shower curtain rather than making a shower curtain quilt - could also add to the laundry area curtains - hmmm ... less blocks to make :)

 

Cramping: so hate night-time leg cramps; wish I knew what caused them and the best way to avoid having them.

 

March: a month of rebirth, renewal, refreshing ... begin again

 

Folder: I think the files and folders are getting more organized with my digi art supplies
