030813 FRIDAY FILL-IN

And...here we go!
Life can be quite confusing and yet very satisfying all at the same time.

It started with one and then another and more kept falling and falling all around me, and then a little snowflake fell right on my eyelash.

I knew is was love when I first saw her bright black eyes and her little black wet cold nose. How would I ever make it without Miso in my life.

It's always amazing to me to have snow on the ground when we have sunshine and blue skies overhead. A rare day for something like that to happen in the Pacific Northwest but a common occurance here in New England.

A little nap is wonderful when the house is quiet and there's not a presence of chaotic energy.

On a cold winter day, a bowl of hot soup with crusty bread on the side is on of my favorite things to eat for dinner.

And as for the weekend, tonight i'm looking forward to quiet time in the studio after dinner, tomorrow my plans include some quality time with the kids at the BSO family concert, dinner at Legal Seafood, and then back to their house for playtime and babysitting while everyone else is off to Toby's performance of the David for Concerto Night at Faneuil Hall. And Sunday, I want to do some good cooking ahead for the week and start working on the newspaper art journals for the twins.

And today ... staying cozy and warm watching the snowflakes continue to keep falling -

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.

Besides filling in more blocks for this quilt top ... it's also time for the weekly FRIDAY FILL-IN time. I am just a little more than halfway finished with the blocks I need for this project. I'm making quilt curtains for the laundry area in the upstairs bathroom. When we installed the front loader the doors would no longer close. Currently we have simple plain curtains to just get by. The quilts will be so much more attractive and homey.

And...here we go!

1. Wake up excited to greet the new day ... that's me!
2.  An album packed with treasured memories of all the fun we had.
3. Every picture brings a torrent of remembrances.
4.  The worst: the volume is a little too quiet and I strain to capture the message.
5. Stay with the task at hand.
6.  Distraction can happen in a nano-second in a thousand ways.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to a good home cooked dinner - maybe even a new recipe, tomorrow my plans include a dinner show in Great Barrington with the Mister, and Sunday, I want to harvest the past week's goodness and sow seeds for the upcoming week.

... and here we go ...

1. Let me go at my own pace without pressure from the expectations of others.

2. I can not imagine going through the pain and anguish, the suffering of the parents of Newton CT.

3. Listen here: I could say a thing or two about how the design of refridgerators could be improved after having to replacement mine that died over the holidays.

4. The fiscal cliff settlement - that's what everyone is talking about.

5. When I was younger, I thought I would never live anywhere else but in Oregon and now here I am on the East Coast.

6. I am so thankful to have a husband who makes me laugh!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking foward to some quiet organizing time in my studio; tomorrow my plans include attending the noon (EDT) chat with MMEW, and Sunday I want to get all caught up and current with my Project Life album.
