Q is for..

quilting!!  ^.^

do i suddenly become an old lady if i have an interest in such unique works of art? one of my friends thinks so.. o_O

i BEG to differ!

i find quilting to be VERY intriguing!

not just anybody can turn a picture into a blanket..  or.. a blanket into a picture.. *heh heh*

& that's what this girl is doin'... and doin' quite well, i might add.. ;)

look how cute!

♫"God bless the fishes in the deep blue sea"♫ 

sweet lil' birdie.. & you KNOW how i feel about lil' birdies... 

i'm a sucker for bright colors.. i'm seriously thinkin' of giving this type of artistry a try.. i'm impressed..

isn't this one adorable!?  

looks like this just might be my next lil' project.. :)

juicin'? NOoo.. smoothin.. ;)

a friend of mine has decided to go on a juicin' kick..

i'll be the first one to tell you that i am sO not interested in juicing. it's not appealing to me at all..

& i may get flack from my friends who are on the juice train, but come on, man..
you're WASTING delicious *veggie meats* for sum juice!???  my momma would cuss you out & she don't even cuss..

lol... JUST kidding.. 

but i'm sure you know what i'm talkin' about..

sO, anyway... one of my closest friends got a juicer & posted a pic of her shopping cart full of bright colored veggies & fruits on facebook & tagged me in the pic cuz she's juicin'..

apparently i'm spoze to be interested..   o_____O

poor girl probably didn't know any better. 

lol..

okay.. i admit.. when i hear about the nutritional value, my ears perk up just a lil.. but i ain't wastin' no veggie meats. my momma would kill me.

sOo.. i got inspired. i was eatin' WAY too much carb stuff the other day & i got a lil' creative to get sum veggie meats in me..

here's what i did..

i took the last of a bag of fresh spinach salad (probably about 1/2 cup)
a half a frozen banana (i believe you should ALWAYS have ripe bananas frozen in your freezer)
a handful of frozen raspberries ( i believe you should ALWAYS have a bag of frozen berries in your freezer, too)
a tablespoon of vanilla ice cream
probably about 4 tbsp of orange juice
and a half cup of vanilla soy

i mixed this stuff together in my food processor/blender combo on liquify & it was amaZingggg!!

the result was an awesome smoothie that looked super yuck..  but tasted like *heaven*
(this ain't a pic of it.)

you have NO idea. my kids were grossed out so i FORCED them to try it & then i had to FORCE them to STOP tryin' it! Lol..

the only thing is i wish i would've had more spinach..

can sumbody say BANGIN'??

;)

yummy..  try it. lemme know what you think!

i'm not much of a napper, but couldn't you just see yourself snoozin' away in one o' these??

it's aBsOLutELy amaZing.. & you HAVE to see more pics.  honestly. 

no. seriously. take a look..

dear hippie dress:

she doesn't deserve you. price does not indicate your value. love does.

i loved you first.

honestly, i didn't have $400 layin' around. i tried to tell you that.

maybe you could sneak away. when you get this letter, send me a private message thru facebook and i'll send you my address.

the internet is just too creepy.

i still love you.

p.s. the REAL free people should've known that you and i belonged together. oh well. find me. i won't stop calling you mine.

free people. or freepeople.

i have decided that i seriously need to get an internship at freepeople. i mean, come on!! they're RIGHT in PENNsYLvaNia!!! there's no reason why i shouldn't be able to go & hang out with them.. i LOVE being around fun fabrics.. trims.. and COLOR!!! OMGness.. i'm in love with COLOR.

i truly think i could live in a fabric swatch warehouse making patchwork stuff ALL day.

maybe i'm just a lil' too emotional right now..

free people.. freepeople. however u say it. ROCKs.

;)

i need a job..

'cuz this is aBsOLutELy insane!! =)

it's unbelievable how much space i would have if i just could put ALL of my beds and shelves inside of the wall.. you know what? i'm gunna stop writing.

you GOTTA see this:

quilts!

if i ever turn into an old lady.. i wanna make quilts that ROCK like theirs!

i kinda wonder if i'm turning into one.

i looked at these quilts last night for a LONG time..

i mean, STUDIED them. such craftsmanship. such artistic expression.

but grandmas made them.. sO, i was sort of embarrassed to post about them.. but then i thought just now, WHO CARES???

one day i'm gonna be old. & i'm gonna want young people to blog about the "cool" stuff that they find on my blog.

and i'm gonna be proud. and post links to the cool blogs that show MY cool stuff..

as i sip tea on my porch.. holdin' hands with the man i've been married to for fifty years.

... ok. maybe i'm goin' too far.

whatever.

i think i do that a lot.

by the way, nice quilts, Grandma. =)

bottles..

every now and then, i feel like i find something that makes me say to myself, "i think i've seen it ALL"... & i'm sure that's all cliche', but part of me feels that people have WAY too much free time on their hands, sO, they build houses.. out of plastic bottles.

hmm.. O_o

scary. but honestly, interesting..

i hafta say, after further research & examination, this is an aMaZing project.. i'm impressed.

and get this... it's GREEN!! We should ALL be building houses out of plastic bottles..

LOL

i HONESTLY thought 3 was the "magic" number..

not anymore..

is she CRAZY??

there are a couple of interviews on the cat lady.. who has 130 cats living in her 3-room apartment..

i think i'm gonna be sick.
