Playing with Christmas Lights

Morning Bloggers!

Yesterday was a down day for me, 
I did nothing. 

While surfing Pinterest I saw this..
the star caught my attention! Did not
look to see if they made theirs with yard 
sticks but it looks about the right size.




So....even just taking it easy I have to
do something....so I played with 
the cell phone camera and the tree
lights. 





haha....looks better done with a real
camera but I just did not
want to get that out to 
play with it...

Found this on Pinterest also..
will need to make one of these
for my niece. 


Also saw this quilt. I love the long 
strips  of this one.
I think I could actually make this
one and to quilt the backing
I could get my sis in law
Lori to help.

I am not much of a sewer but I
have been given my mom's
sewing machine. She can't sit and 
sew much anymore so she has
passed that to me.


HAHA...
LOVE this.


I am very much unlike my mom...
I am the one that paints the crack in 
my sidewalk to look like a 
vine, I have antlers on my
car and a red nose....
these sort of things just makes 
me look ridiculous in her eyes!


I love being different.

I usually do that with the camera and Christmas lights at least once a year. I haven't done it yet this year.

Being different is very good Pam...I'm different too :) I really would like to learn how to quilt...I found a book at a bazaar a few months back and it looks like I can do it, skill-wise...but I just need to find the budget to buy supplies!! One day :)

It's such a waste to be someone we're not! Love that you have your mother's sewing machine. Something tells me we are going to see some great projects. ♥

Oh, I wish you'd had a good day. Thanks for blogging even when you don't. I always enjoy your pictures and learning more about you. My parents seemed to appreciate my silliness, as have coworkers. And my partner claims to rather enjoys never knowing how I'll transform next, though he wasn't too crazy about the red, black, and green hair (it wasn't Christmastime, either ~heh~). I've since gone solid red with the coif since even grandmothers in our community have gone tri-colored.

That's not ridiculous. That's fun. Keep being fun. Keep being you. Too many ordinary in this world.

Funny you should mention that cause I just saw a car on the road with antlers and a red nose. I thought it was the cutest thing. That's wonderful that you have your mother's sewing machine. My mom made most of my clothes growing up and even my doll clothes. I think you will like sewing cause it seems like you learn things quickly. I'm sorry you're still not feeling the best. I hope you get well before Christmas. : )

The Rest of Today

After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after him. I had to snap a pic of Kelley making sure that I got

Well, what was I thinking? HAHA After laying on my couch in so much pain all summer, I knew moving closer to  Amber was the thing to do, The timing of finding my dream home was off. However, Two days of Open House and I have a contract. Selling as is, minor repairs.  Inspection to be done after  the work in the  den and BR is done. The process of getting here while just a couple of weeks of healing was a challenge. My daughter was a big  help weekend before  last. I just collect to many projects that I  never get around to and that has to stop. I have to say, last time  was easier, I had moved into my childhood home before I sold the other, so it was empty when sold. EASIER. I hate moving so close to Christmas but it is  what it is. Fall seems to have made it to us the past week. I am surprised, we were losing so many leaves due to no rain,  glad to have some color. In between packing, cleaning, repairs and life in general, I have  managed to do a few things. I taught a paint class an
