New Adventures of 2015

So as everyone would know the beginning of the year is all about starting new or over.  I believe it is great to get a fresh start on so many things.  So as my friend Jeanette us to do when I worked with her is she had a board or what she called it things she wanted to achieve or try to do during the year.  So I didn't get as fancy as she did but I did the exact same thing.  I started my own board, I didn't put photos yet (but I will because I love visual) but I wanted to make sure I could see what I expected out of 2015 and so it didn't go away its always in my craft room staring me in the face.  So now when I am down or things are not going my way I can add words or rethink why I'm not getting what I wanted to achieve. 

Some of the things I wrote on this board was me.  I want to think about myself this year, I am a mother of four wonderful daughters, but I pour myself into them and then I find I am left with a wasted self and nothing to show for all the efforts.  So this year the theme is ME, I thought myself selfish but I am so happy to realize if I don't put ME first I wont be able to help anyone at all.


So I put the board into categories.. Achieve, Dream, Focus, Live & Learn.
Under each one of these I have put certain things under them.. So for instance under Achieve I put that I would love to advance in my Partylite Business and I would love to promote.  With the current place I live in it might be hard but I love a challenge :D so I need to find ways to make this happen.. Stay Tuned I'm excited about this one.

Focus is strictly on me and I'm excited about this one because its time for me to learn about me and what makes me happy.  So I am working on my first challenge eating.. Yes folks eating.. Man I will tell you I am one of those people if I am not hungry I don't eat them I wonder where the hell my Ass came from.. Well one rule of thumb is its dumb not to eat.  So I will be starting the 21 day Fix program, this program is a program to help me eat six meals a day (rolling my eyes because this is a CRAP ton of food for me) and give your a guide lines on how to eat them.  I so far have packed my lunch for tomorrow so we will see how this all goes.  I will tell you about it later this week so I don't bog down the whole thing in one day (but it will be extensive..) I am excluding weight and photos until the end because they are not what I wanted to see that I for sure.

Dream - at this point I put dream because I feel there are so many things to dream about, BUT I want mine to be a reality.  We all want to be a certain size, great vacation and such and If I work at some of the other categories I can have all my dreams. 

The last two are Live & Learn and I think these go together in some instances.  So with this I have taken the 365 day Challenge in Photography because this is something I have wanted to do forever BUT again with everything I do there is a twist.  I have printed up previous challenges for the month of January to give me a chance to change and learn and of course Ideas.  I live on this small island but there is so much to see so I want to focus on that.. My Island before I am gone and then it will be beautiful Memories.

So with all that I have blurted out please come on back and get ready for some great enjoyment out of this year coming because its going to be a RIDE OF A LIFETIME.

Embarking on a new Journey

In a few short days I'll be heading into an unknown world.  I will be leaving a job I've grown to enjoy immensely and start my trek to Spring Mountain for our hike on the Appalachian Trail.  I should bounce back to about 5 years ago when we moved to State College Pennsylvania.  My husband and I moved here with our two youngest children, Danielle and Emma.  We were starting our new lives after retiring from the United States Coast Guard.  I started working at Penn State University.  While I was enjoying our journey thus far, something happened, and I came across a man who was journaling his entire trip on the Appalachian Trail.  I was intrigued to say the least.  I went home with so much excitement and told my husband wouldn't it be AMAZING to take this journey and be free to hike all day and enjoy the wilderness.  Let's just say my husband's comments were not as exciting as mine.  One of his comments were do you know how far that is, and...

Something Old Something New

I am not talking about weddings :D But today is one of those days when I have laughed, I have cried, and I have had many hours of myself which could be good and bad for all those involved in my life. I love to sew and I have been working on a quilt I have wanted to do for so long.  The Pattern is called Autumn Ablaze from Quilting Celebrations www.quiltingcelebrations.com .  Its from the Fall 2012 magazine, this will also tell you how long I have been wanting to do this.  See you all should believe me when I tell you this is a year all about me. So that gives you an Idea of what I have been doing this past week, plus many others more.  I have about 10 projects that I am always working on, I do tend to get bored with just one so when I see something I just jump right in and sew my little heart out.  Maybe one of these days I will actually finish a project without putting it aside for something else... Nah that is to predictable..   I was t...
Quilting from the heart I will say this if you would have told me that 6 months ago I would have fallen in love with quiliting as much as I have, I wouldnt believe you.  This is quilt #8 that I have finished but only #2 that I have been able to post since I have not given them to the recipiants yet. Since I learned all of this on my own by trial and error I also figured I would show you some of the work as I have finished it.  This is one panel complete now to finish it up and get it to the quilters.  Because I have not learned how to do that just yet but it is on my list of things to learn. I cant tell you how much I loved this tool that I purchased for myself since no one bought it for me off my Christmas List :D and I will say besides my sewing machine this is used almost as much a Jill lol. And this is the progress of the blocks.  Sometimes I am my own worst enemy since its all about line and linning up.  OH MY WORD sometimes this is the ...
