Happy

In contrast to yesterday - I am feeling happy and relaxed. Not too sure what all that was about really. Just one of those days I guess.

I just got a new app for my iPad - recommended by a reader who left a comment. Woot! Love comments.

This post is my trial run to see how well it works for me. If it does what I need it to I will get chat up on all this Pinterest posts and Snap365 posts I have been missing. :)

Maybe part of yesterday was that I received this. Proof that I am old enough to be called Grandma!

My little Bitty just old enough to have a heart beat. :)

True Love

This evening my husband said to me that I am amazing, I am just the only one who hasn't realized it. Pretty sweet, huh?

Fill in the Blank Friday

Holy Doodles, I can't believe it is Friday already! That week went by very quickly - I think because I was is full on hyper Spring Cleaning mode.

1. Fridays are meant for easy dinners and relaxing with my kids - or sewing with my Quilt till you Wilters.

2. Sunny days at the beach with my family and a really good book, fresh baked white bread, babies (of any species), teasing (me), being with my extended family, my children's happiness, a nice clean house, a finished sewing project, laughter (mine or others), kindness are all things that make me terribly happy. (I am generally pretty happy, and made happier by a plethora of things.)

3. Something that inspires me is Mum and her five amazing sisters - and their amazing Mum.

The Davidson Girls:  Susie, Mum, Gail, Diana, Marie, Brenda

4. If I had the day off today I would sew until all of my UFO's were complete, have a bath, snuggle with DH and the kids - that is what I would like to do.  Turns out I had today off but have yet to do anything of those things.  I went to an Easter egg hunt, did a little shopping and then cleaned my kitchen with, literally, toothbrush and toothpicks.

5. If I had to put a label on my home decor style, I would say my style is classic retro with a little country?  I have tiffany style lamps, a 250 year old piano, a table cloth from the 50s, a modern looking glass mosaic mirror, and of course quilts.

6. Concerning politics I would say nothing, I do not know enough about politics to say anything intelligent - shameful really considering how politically minded some of my family is.  One would think that I would have drawn from some of that!

7. I'd like to go to London to see my oldest friend who is still a friend, even though I have not seen her for TEN years.

Have a wonderful Easter weekend, talk to you soon.

My New Obsession...

I am, literally, obsessed with creating an amazing blog.

I have been restyling a new version of this one - you can see it here. I am not even close to being done but I sure would value some feedback.  I used like 27 fonts - I love fonts - and changed the background 47 times... I want perfect, I am settling for (I hope) pretty darn good.

I have been reading and reading and everything I can get my hands on about blog success. One of the places I have been spending a ridiculous amount of time is A Beautiful Mess, which leads me all over the cyber universe.  I got there after being tipped off by Krista at Twirl Designs as to what a great blog it was.  While not necessarily my subject matter it is well written, entertaining, and very informative for someone like me - venturing into the world of blogging and hoping that it turns into something great.

The draw back to all of that is that I often expect immediate success but... well I know that is not necessarily going to be the case.  I downloaded The Secret for my iPhone. Go check it out and tell me what you think!

Me and DH

Fill in the Blank Friday

1. My favorite daily responsibility is, getting my daughter ready for school. Even though I am a tired zombie half the time I love brushing out her beautiful hair and choosing what she will look fabulous in that day.

2. My least favorite daily responsibility is, putting away the clean dishes. I don't know why I don't like this, it is not really a big deal. I don't mind washing them, I let them air dry and then it is up to DH to put them away.

3. My favorite cuisine to eat when going out is salmon. DH does not like fish so I don't eat it at home very often and I love, love, love salmon. Truth be told I love food, period.

4. My favorite cuisine to prepare at home is ...I love to cook almost everything! That is precisely how I obtained my sleek figure. (tongue in cheek).

5. Andy Warhol said that everyone is famous for 15 minutes. My claim to fame is    probably when I ran for Miss. Grand Forks (that is Grand Forks British Columbia, not North Dakota) in like 1990. Maybe the "press" I got when I started Sugar Shack Quilting.

6. If I could have 3 wishes I would wish for a never ending bank account, life time health and happiness for all of my loved ones - especially my children, and the ability to time travel.

7. My biggest pet peeve is the sound of crinkling plastic or open-mouthed chewing. I have issues with sounds in general. I also have a bit of an issue with empty Pepsi cans, DH drinks a LOT of Pepsi and they always seem to be everywhere. I am driven to distraction by any mess that is not my own .

And because a post is less of a post without a photo, this is a shot of my daughter and her BFF. Mine is the one in white.

The People I Love

So today, PITA read my blog and comment on the fact that I did not mention her.  Wha!  Consider yourself mentioned my pesky little niece.  I love you!  

I could not find a picture of you on your Uncle's computer that made me happy - so here is one of Gramdpa.  I love him too. :p

Big Old Personal Problems

From Pinterest

I have been feeling very blue and cannot seem to shake it, I stumbled upon this and had to chuckle.  I felt the cloud lift just a little bit, we shall see what tomorrow brings.

Number 16

Something that could probably have made the the 15 Interesting Things list is that I love to read.  I am an escapists and it works well to take me away while keeping me pleasantly entertained.

I am currently just finishing up Time Weaver by Shana Abe that has been an entertained easy read.  Not usually into romance, I was drawn to the science fiction/fantasy aspects of the book.  I would recommend it - it would be a really great book for a day at the beach.
