We've had such a long winter it has certainly been easy to have
that feeling . . .

Being a native Texan snow isn't the norm.  We have to spend our
vacations in places like Colorado if we want to enjoy a little of the white stuff. 

Yep I have been havin' Cabin Fever.

 I bet I had you goin' thinking I was already bored on my vacation.

 Nope. No way.  Not in a million years.  But I do have Cabin Fever.

This kind . . .

 I've been in my sewing room . . .

 Making these cool Log Cabin blocks.  Do you see anything special
about them? 

These blocks are half browns and half mixed colors.  I am having the most fun piecing these.  I am on a mission to empty my scrap bin. 

These new blocks will be a complementing quilted throw that will go with the King Size Log Cabin that is waiting in storage for me
to quilt.  I posted about this one here. 

Since our move I haven't been able to find it.  So I have resorted to emptying that scrap bin. 

So, for me since I can't go here for my vacation . . .

Vacation Log Day 3

There really is some Blue here
So, when I posted on Friday I felt a little like this . . .

Then I settled in . . .

Enjoyed the evening. . .

 Closed my eyes and . . .

 Dreamed of . . .

And spent sometime on Pinterest . . .

 Seriously I would definitely need to put my feet up if I wore these
BTW they are Blue just for Sally and all her friends . . .

And for me because I can't write a post without one!

Just puttin' our feet up!
Have a good day.  Click here to join Sally

Vacation Day 1 Agenda

I thought about writing this post last night after my last post but
I'm on vacation so I didn't LOL
Enjoy I am!

A few plans for the next few days . . .

Maybe a little snoring . . .

Thankfully no neon light shinning in the window to keep me awake . . .

Awe . . . (big sigh) . . .

And no Si screaming to meet at 5:30! 
10:00 maybe the jury is out on that one!

Blue Brrrr Monday

For us Texas girls it is Brrr Monday.   Today it is blustery.
So I thought I would share some favorite snow photos.  Thankfully
they weren't taken here. 

Happy Blue Monday . . .

 

Enjoyin the Blues while waitin' for Spring.

Hear It On Sunday . . .

I read this somewhere  Hear It On Sunday use it on Monday . . .
I don't remember if it was a blog link party or on facebook.
What a great way to think about the 'word' you hear.  Thinking about sharing it with someone. 

I heard this song this morning.  It was new to me. 




A beautiful song with an aswesome lyric.  Definitely worthy to share.

Pinterest Pic . . . Why Didn't I Think Of It

I am a huge fan of Pinterest.  I can sit for hours looking at Pins.
I probably have too many boards.  How many do you have?

My favorite pin from the last few days was this . . .

I love this idea.  It was one of those 'Why Didn't I Think Of It'
"Ah Ha" moments.

I have always had a bit of a love/hate relationship with my coat closet.  Back in the day when I had a house I always tried to keep our coat closet free of clutter and ready and available for when friends came over.    I have always hated fussing with hangers. 

This is the perfect alternative.  Love it!  

Joining Ann for Thriving on Thursday.


I tried to follow the pin to find out where it came from but I couldn't find out. 

So have you had any 'Ah Ha' moments because of Pinterest? 

Winter Blues?

Do you feel Blue in the winter.  Maybe it's really cold and cloudy

and you can't go outside much?

Or snowy?  I love photo's of snow.  Houses with snow, snow fields,
horses like the above photo.  I feel blessed to live in Texas.  We don't really get snow. 

And our winters are usually blessedly short.  A day or two here or there of icy weather.  Lots of chilling winds.  But a lot of the time our afternoons warm up. 

Today I am sitting with the patio door open.  It's a beautiful winter day. 

I was looking around my house as I transitioned from Christmas decorations to my winter decorations.  

And I realized that I seem to use certain items for the winter. 
I bet you do too.  Of course the throws come out.  Fires are lit. 
Probably not as many plants around.  

I noticed I tend to use candles more . . .

I love the soft glow of candle light.

The throws come out in the fall.  They stay with us through the winter.  On the back of the couch and on chairs making every room warm and cozy.  

This year we're enjoying our new patio.  We are enjoying the cool evenings.  It's a homey and welcoming spot. 

We enjoy watching the sunset.  Unfortunately we're not on the water.. . but every night God gives us a beautiful painting to enjoy.

No my winters aren't Blue.  I am happy and Blessed and warm and cozy. 

So how do you make your winters warm and cozy?

Happy Blue Monday

I've always enjoyed blogging on Monday and
visiting Sally for Blue Monday. 

Since I have a new job my post will be late but I wanted to join anyway and share this really cool
art work.

 My Cowboy stumbled onto these on the net.  This one is amazing.

 
Some cool Blues.   Go by Sally's and say Hi
and visit the other Blues.

On Sunday

How I start my day . . .

This is where I would be if I wasn't where I am . . .Yep if I was thinking about me this might be where I would worship.

But...it's not about me.  It's about more than me.
It's about sharing God's love.   And, that is what
I get to do every Sunday.  

 

I am on a Journey . . .

 

Sometimes it's a wild ride.  Sometimes it's slow and easy.    And it is a Joy. 

Sweeeet Saturday

I used to join a really fun Saturday linking party.  I always enjoyed writing about what makes
my day Sweet on Saturday . . .

 

I've written about my sweet grandson and spending time with him

 

 

I've written about Sweet Saturday Dates with my Cowboy

 

 

 

I've written about Saturday laundry days.  When I was able to get the sheets off the bed before the cat settled in for a Cat Nap!

 

And whats going on in my sewing room. 

 

These are some of my favorite things to do.  Yes even doing the laundry. 

 

And, it seems lately that Saturday is a day I spend . . .

 

 

I love playing around with PicMonkey.

I am thinking this will be my new header.

I already added a new background. 

I'll be adding new photos soon along with the new headed.

 

So that's what made my Saturday Sweet.

How about yours?

Happy New Year

I cannot believe how long it's been since I posted last!

I wish I had left a candle in the window and told you where I've
been. 

I cannot believe I missed Christmas.  It's always my favorite time of year . . .

Of course it's not just about Santa.  It's about the 'real' reason for
Christmas.  But the trees, the decorations and yes Santa make it fun and festive.   Yes.  I missed Christmas with you my old friends. 

I've missed our chats.  I've missed visiting you.  I've missed your visits. 

I have a lot to tell you.  I have a lot to share.  I've been thinking about when I came back. 

What would I say here.  What would I talk about.   Would I join linkys and blog parties again?  Would I just write about what I'm thinking about and what I'm doing.

Will I write about my house, my home.  Will I write devotionals?
Will I write about my favorite things to do?  Like making quilts.
Taking pics, my dog or blogging.  Will I post favorite finds on Pinterest?  Pics of horses, crafts, things for the house.

Yes.  Just like my life my thoughts can be crazy and sporadic.  
They can be scattered.  

Yep it is a crazy, chaotic and eclectic world.  I think for me that's
what makes it fun. 



 

Hellooooooooo Blue Monday

Good Morning Dear Friends!

Sharing some Blue with you and a little Love . . .

 Found this lovely Blue wintery scene on Pinterest and I knew my Blue friends would love it too!

 I've been a little Blue here on my Journey not finding time to post . . .

 Here's why . . . I am spending most of time getting organized in my new job . . . teaching at a preschool . . .
Much more to come about that but let's not forget the wonderful Blue things you can find on
Pinterest . . .

 Bear with me friends . . . I am a true Texan and we don't like snow but we love to look at it.  I love the snow here and the Blue door. 

And last but not least . . .

 

Just a little more Blue snow.

Thanks for stopping in.

I'll be posting a little when I can.

Are you wondering where I am? 

I am working now.

And,

we are moving on Dec. 7th . . . a Happy Birthday present to me!

If your one of my sewing/quilting buds you know what it is like to pack up a sewing room!

I am busy packing and planning.

I'll be back regularly after the New Year.

Until then I hope you'll bear with me and my irregular posting!

Have a wonderfully Blue week.

Hugs to all1
