Fabulous Friday

For today: 

Looking Out My Window:The first few days of new cold weather takes a bit of adjustment.  The colors of fall have all but vanished.

My Weekend Plans Include: I'm definitely adding some play time in my sewing studio.It's time to look at my UFO's list again and see what I can get done quickly.

I’m Reading: The Cook's Holiday Baking magazine.  It makes you want to bake and bake and bake.

Movie Marquee: "Laws of Attraction" and "Intolerable Cruelty"

Something Quiltie:  Have you seen the new Dr. Seuss fabric by Robert Kaufman?

I liked these fabrics very much,

I had to do much more than touch.

I cut them by the yard and yard and yard.

I'm telling you it wasn't very hard.

So now I'll put them in my stash, 

They're so pretty, I'll be sewing in a flash.

A quilt is what I'll sew and create,

I'm too excited to sit and wait.

One of My Favorite Things: is baking cupcakes.  I tried a new recipe this week for Stashbusters class.  Those delightful ladies are my best clients. This month was Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes.  It's obvious with the chocolate and peanut butter combo why they were so good. I added a bit of Reese's on the top of the peanut butter cream cheese frosting.

 

I’m Thinking About: how I often delay doing something because I don't think I have " time."  Who knows if I will have the "free time" later. 

What’s For Dinner: Yesterday was the perfect day for Chili.  Leftovers are even better.

A Favorite Photo:  

 A sea turtle

We went on a snorkeling trip and 

several were swimming next to the boat.

It was a great sight.

Enjoying time together

Home

When Dorthy clicked your ruby red slippers,

she said, 'There's no place like home."

She was right, but I

think I could make my home where the

palm trees sway, and the temperature

doesn't vary too much from 80 degrees.

The perfect days.

So I went from this

to this.

Lesson:

We just have to make the best of
whatever circumstances we find ourselves in.

So instead of a working on my perfect tan,
it's the perfect day to snuggling inside with a hot bowl of chili.

Maui Balance

I am on a wonderful vacation.

Maui is just like it is suppose to be.

Paradise.

But, it is all about balance.

I'm not talking about the balance it would take for me on a

boggie board.

 That would be almost impossible.

Instead...

It's balancing "doing" and "relaxing".

It's balancing together time and alone time.

It's balancing eating simple and eating fancy.

It's balancing  sun and shade.

It's balancing "going" or "staying".

It's balancing sharing dessert or eating our own!

But no matter

It's about enjoying the moment.

Not waiting for the good time to come, but

knowing you're in it right now.

Aloha.

Until Next Time-Kyle
