Just chillin'!

This is me after a busy, busy, busy day at work.  I just want to get into my comfy clothes, take my grub and a drink out back, enjoy the sunset and the cool evening breeze.  Ahhhhhh!!!!

 

Mary Engelbreit mug

I hardly ever post and so I thought I'd shared photos of this mug that Darlene was wondering about from the previous post. It is a Mary Engelbreit Scotty dog ceramic mug I bought a few years ago. I've been looking for another one, ummm, make that three like it since. If anyone had seen this mug for sale online, please let me know. Oh yeah, pass the info to Darlene as well. Many thanks!

 

 

  

Lazy day...

I had a list of things to do today but I stayed at home and be lazy instead. Why you asked? I stayed up all night working on one of my gazillion WIPs. Woke up around 7:30 this morning and had breakfast outside. I had leftover dinner, big bowl of peach halves with a large dollop of cottage cheese and a tall mug of hot tea. It wasn't too hot yet and there was a cool breeze. I hung out with a couple of my girls, did a little needlework, reading and a whole lot of nothing. It was definitely a lazzzzzy day for me.

 

 

Pinkie (temporary name) was looking for the rice to go with her breakfast. Yes, I said rice! If you live in this household, rice is a MUST for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Believe me,it goes with everything! Lucky for her, Pinkier (also a temporary name) brought out the rice cooker.  Effing cute, isn't it!

  

Her breakfast is giving me a heart attack just looking at it! 

 

What about you? Did you have a productive day? 

Giving is definitely better!

It's my dearest aunt's birthday this month. So I thought she would love to have this quilt.

Then I decided to give these quilts to my three nieces. 

For my niece Jan, the eldest. We are excited that she's going to college. Yay!

 

For the middle child, Lauren Shirley. She's picky so I hope she likes this tumbler quilt. I love the backing I used for this one.

 

And for the youngest, Mika (short for Mikaela) who's a major chatterbox. That girl can talk for hours. But she's becoming my favorite of the three. Uh-oh, I'm not supposed to have a favorite. Whoopsy!

 

Once again, I'm without a pinwheel quilt. But I'm not worried. I can always make another one. Right?

Happy quilting everyone. Toodles!

Happy 4th!

What's up?

Hello there fellowbloggers! Sophie here.  I'm your guest blogger for today. Beautiful day, isn't it? I'm flying Big Lil Sis and her Sweetie over to Big Bear for breakfast. Would you like to join us? Don't worry. I know what I'm doing. Just make sure to bring your own parachute. LOL! Let's go!

 

Here we are in the cockpit with these thingymagig! Look, the runway!

 

Lil big Sis, can I have the head set. I'm the pilot here, you know. Oh yeah, this is more like it! Niner-niner!

 

Look, we are almost there. See that body of water? That's Big Bear lake. Woo-hoo!

 

Getting ready to land. Sorry about the dead bugs on the windshield.  And... (bumpity-bump) here we are.

 

Wasn't I the best pilot ever? 

  

Keep cool!

Arggggh!!!

According to the weather guy, it's going to be triple digits again this weekend. 

Keep hydrated! I hope you have a wonderful weekend wherever you are.

06/29/2008 Update: Shameless plug for my girls .

Wren: This is a great idea, Sophie! It's hot but not like last weekend. 

Sophie: Yeah! Perfect day to get some color on me. I've been looking rather pasty lately.  Can you hand me the sunscreen please?

  

Ten minutes later...

Wren: Uhmm, Sophie?

Sophie: Yes Wren.

Wren: My skin is sizzling. Is that supposed to be normal?

Sophie: Uh-oh, i think we better go inside. You might want to talk to Big Lil' Sis about that.

Having fun yet? Don't forget to apply sunscreen and cover up if you plan on staying outside, folks! You don't want to look like lobsters, do you? One more thing, MELANOMA! Ouch!!

Look what I found!

Lately I've been lurking in Flckr alleyways and found my new crack du jour... These adorable wooden peg or laundry pin or clothespin dolls or... What else do you call these?!  Stinken' cute, right?
