anniversary fun

Celebrating 30 years of marriage with a trip to NYC!

 We had a very nice lunch at Mario's place....Eataly. Also a fun place to shop.

 Exciting to see RENT again. This time from the second row.We cried along with the cast.

 This building kind of makes me dizzy. It looks as though it could just blow over with a stiff wind.

 And our worst fear happened when we headed to Times Square to dine at Bubba Gump's. Yep, ran right into the protestors. We didn't realize until it was too late.
It was scary but we made it thru and was able to exit thru the rear of the restaurant.

A cool create sign at the theatre.

Looking forward to the next 30!

weekend update

Our Quilt show started yesterday and runs thru today.

The donation quilt in my last post had a couple bids and sold.

I was thrilled!

 Also sold my bags at the Country Store at the show.

I also put some of my angel dolls in for sale.

A very nice show.

A joint effort with three guilds.

I am off to tidy up the studio and start some new projects.

Have a great weekend!

way behind....

I didn't realize that it had been so long since my last post.

Time is flying by!

This is a snippet of my donation quilt for the up coming quilt show.

I used a different technique. I had all the squares finished and using random machine stitches I sewed them onto a black/gray fabric panel. It's wack-a-do and I love it. I hope someone else likes it too and bids on it. If not I'll be happy to have it back.



beach friday

This is my favorite time of year to visit the beach. It's cooler, less crowded and the parking meters are gone.

 I love the colors and texture of these leaves.

Going to play around with that one on Photoshop.

 I love the muted shades in this shot.

 I must be hungry because this makes me think of icing on a cookie.

See the lone Sandpiper?

I love watching them.

There was a group of four.

After the wave comes up they run and chase it back to the ocean scooping up whatever it is they eat. Then when the next wave comes up they run from it like they don't want to get their feet wet. If the wave touches their feet they fly away.

Fun stuff.

Have a "fun stuff" weekend!

random friday

Not much going on....art wise.

Cleaning the house....yawn.

But look out for next week!

The weather here can't make up its mind.

But it will rain for sure...Art Fest is this weekend in OC.

Have an artful weekend!

organization

OK I have been here a year now and still need to get stuff unpacked.

It's time!

It's cooler now so I am able to get into the garage.

I had it organized back in the fall of last year. I had 5 or 6 bins with the stuff I needed to go in the studio. There are about 30 or more  bins out in the garage.

I placed the 6 I needed by the door and would bring them in...until DH decides to rearrange the garage and he put them "somewhere" and he doesn't know where.

I have seached all the wrong bins.

I want my favorite rubber stamps!!

I hope you can find everything you are looking for today!

random friday.....

Does cake cure all?

 

 It helps!

Had a huge let down today....

...after waiting a year and a half to finally sell our house in OK...

Had everything ready to go.

House cleaned....

....yard done...

utilities switched...Everything!

Settlement day and no settlement.

Someone at the bank forgot to put someones loan thru.

Hopefully they will be ready to go in a week or two....sigh!

Keeping our chins up!

Have a great weekend!
