Sunny Flowers

I'm Taking a photography class and we took pictures of flowers.  It was lots of fun.  It's a lot harder than it looks to take a decent photo.  So many things add to the beauty.  I have a new appreciation for the art.  I've always loved photography and have wanted to learn more. Hopefully you'll notice when my skills grow!

Be My Valentine

I made this a few years ago. I got it as a quilt kit from one of my favorite quilt stores American Quilting.  It was so fun to pull it out to decorate! It definitely brightened my day!

Blossom

Here is one of my favorite quilts!  I love all of the funky fabrics!  I got it in a kit and probably would have never picked out the fabrics individually!  It was so fun to make!

Bright Reflections

I am so grateful for all of the little patches of sunshine in my life that give me hope! With the craziness of the world around us always, I recently remembered this quote. I've paraphrased it a bit, but it just makes me happy!

"Slow me down Lord...Teach me the art of taking 'minute vacations'...slowing down to look at a flower, to chat with a friend, to read a few lines from a good book.

Remind me...that there is more to life than measuring its speed.

Let me look up at the branches of the towering oak and know that it grew slowly and well. Inspire me to send my own roots down deep into the soil of life's endearing values...that I may grow toward the stars of my greater destiny.

Slow me down, Lord."
