China Tea Cup

Whether you are enjoying a warming cup of tea 
or your favorite coffee
or maybe you're a hot chocolate person
It is even more comforting to be drinking it out of a spectacularly beautiful cup 
given to you by a dear friend.
Merci Miss Susie


"The Cup" with my violet plant that almost
never stops blooming!


So as you take a sip you still get to glimpse a rose



In case you're interested!
You know you are! 
Don't try and pretend you don't flip cups or plates 
over to see who made them!

Moon

Some people have a fascination with the moon and it was of the many things in life that I took for granted until the last several years. It really is a thing of beauty as it changes over the course of a month. This picture was taken out my back door in sub zero weather while I was encouraging my dog to come back in the house.
Obviously he was just fine..... but I was freezing. 
So I decided to make use of my time and take a picture to share with all of you.   
I know the picture is a little dark.....but it was dark outside!
And snowy and freezing and time to be inside!
Let's go Tucker!

iphone

I got an iphone…I got an iphone….I got and iphone….

For the first couple days it was definitely a love- hate relationship but now…….just unadulterated love.
I swore I would only keep it while my son was in Afghanistan but I have to say I’m rethinking that decision. And of course Kindle daughter in law found an adorable case while she was thrifting. 
For only $5.00. Such a deal! 
And yes.... it's an Orla Kiely case!
It is such a "gift" I can’t believe I have one.

Jelly Rolls


Cute Plate....right??
This is not what I think of when I think of Jelly Rolls...
tho I must say I would like coffee and one of these
Visions of Linnes Bakery in Shelbyville
However moving on.....

I'm referring to Jelly Roll Fabric Bundles. There are amazing quilt patterns that use these lovelies.
I'm imagining the possibilities of making more wonderful quilts. 
Now I need to find a way to have more than 24 hours in my day!
So much fabric and ideas ....and so little time.
Happy Tones by Michael Miller
Honey Honey by Kate Spain for Moda

This pattern would be perfect for a Jelly Roll

Sweater

This is super cute but I just know that someone would tap me on the shoulder and whisper 
"You do know your sweater is on backwards....right?"

Goals---Resolutions

The first one is going to be my biggest hurdle but I will say it to myself
each morning. 
Positive thinking.

Cuties from Kansas

First I want to wish all a very Happy New Year. 

Now that that's out of the way I want to know right now who in the heck 
ordered all this snow????
I think it was my Kansas family who loves cold and snow more than 
anyone I have ever met! 
They obviously forgot to give their new address on the snow order.
