OT Simple Pleasures

I'm working on a BOM quilt called "Simple Pleasures". It has flowers, a
kitten, mittens, hearts so far. I think it
will always bring smiles when I look at it!

Good luck Susie - hope you enjoy the course.

My 6500 was at a special offer price at local dealers and, it seems,
everywhere. DH paid by credit card (it was a surprise pressy), and the
receipted bill we got was actually from Janome. Apparently here Janome
set the prices by actually doing the transaction themselves! So all
the hunting around for the best price (which, surprise, surprise were
all the same) turned out to be a waste of time.

The first thing that has made me happy this week is having
my grandson tell me he loves me and getting a few big hugs.
Also the anticipation of going to a 3 hour Janome workshop at the mall
tomorrow. I have been looking at the Janome's for a few months now.
We will be using the Janome 6500 and the 300e. I'm told there will
be a special price too.

.........What has made you happy this week?

Oh Charlotte, that is so awesome! Isn't that just the greatest simple
pleasure in life?!

Hmmm, mine was Saturday, strolling the flea market with DD.
Last night, when my boys came home and DS came running through the door
- "Mommy, mommy I'm home for you, where are you?!" Then throwing
himself at me and hugging me to death!

life is good, very, very good,
Tina

It was finally warm enough to open some of the storm windows, let the
screens down and some fresh air into the house.

Have an extra piece of Scharffen Berger for me!

We've been eating these wickedly good chocolate covered almonds from
Trader Joe's. They come in a plastic tub and are a mix of dark and milk
chocolate.

Will that do if I count the dark ones for you?

We had a Dance Party yesterday, at Miss Fussy Rose's request.

Are these not the funnest times in our lives! We do that too....ceptin
DH just will not dance - but I can get him to "shuffle" occasionally!
LOL

The kids and I love to play Elton John (although daughter is sure he is
way too old for her tastes) - Crocodile Rock, especially - I almost wet
my pants when DS, with air microphone, hammers out, "Hey mama, mama,
it's Saturday night!" and jitterbugs me to death! ROFL It's
hysterical!

Sometimes we just end up in a big pile in the living room floor,
laughing so hard we're all holding our bellies and crying!

Of course, you should see my football player - when he does "ballet"

Tina, laughing just thinking about it
P.S. Thank you so much Pat, and a great big HUG - I need this post!

Sally,
Here the dealers set there prices. She only had it 10% off
a few months ago. I hope the special is MUCH better tomorrow.
I hope you are loving yours,
Susie

Yesterday DD (7yrs old) and I took a long walk in the cemetery a distance
from our home. We talked as we walked through the winding paths, looked at
the water fall, played Pooh cones. We explored various nooks and crannies
of this resting place, looking at the numerous tomb stones, basically
looking at the history of this small town we live in (dating prior to 1776).
The weather was beautiful. The sun was shining and we just explored and
talked, and talked about everything. It's times like these that I am
reminded of how fortunate I am to have my health and such a beautiful soul
in my life. She keeps me in line as to what is important in life.

for Life's Simple Pleasures!! What has made you
happy this week? (If nothing has, no need to
report ... just read a few notes and you too might
realize you do have some little pleasures in your
life too!!)
I'll start off ....
On Saturday I was in Washington, DC, my nation's
capitol. I went to the Cherry Blossom Festival
Parade, and then took a stroll among the blooming
cherry trees along the Tidal Basin. It was
absolutely fantastic!!

oh Carole, that's so awesome!

I have another "simple pleasure" -

Mail call! I received today, my first ever official quilting catalog!
Keepsake Quilting, yippeeeee, something to look through for a while and
keep my mind off other things....

AND, I received my pattern book, Fast, Fun and Easy Fabric Bags - and
it has the perfect, perfect pattern in it I want to use for moms, and
my, bags! And Pam Archer makes these instructions and patterns so
easy! OMG, I will be able to do this in a snap!

Bonus, there are patterns for cell phone pouches, DD, will love....

A new pencil pouch pattern for DS....

purses! woo hooo

yep, life is good
