S:  Matthew 17-20   'those who are first, will be last, and those who are last, will be first'

P:  its Sunday. But my gym bag is packed for tomorrow's workout :)

C:  My mom said she wanted to have her friend over to craft... and since all the 'craft' stuff is at my house... that is where it would take place... insert... oh mom moment... but it was a busy morning of missing church... and thinking up cards to do... and I must say they got better as they went... so much so that the first one doesn't even get a mention....

knock knock...

who's there...

orange you glad I said hello...

(stamps: A*muse,  punch: Martha)

button, button, who's got the button...

love the envelope

(stamps: Stampin Up!, twine: Martha, card base: A*muse)

full of hot air....

golden.

...for Sunday.

(card base: A*Muse, Stamps: hot air balloon: Studio Calico, sentiment: A*muse)

Oscars tonight... resulted in some painted toes... and a desire to see The Kings Speech...
Busy week... better sleep while I still can.

S:  Matthew 16

P:  Played some Wii with Lily (Just Dance 2) definitely my arms are going to be feeling it... but it was fun... and a little unconventional. which is great.

C:  Once again had some fun today... hung up a few photos in my stairway.  sewed my crazy quilt to tie it.  Made my feeling stitchy embroidered piece into a pillow case (now to find a pillow)... and then went to a birthday for Paisley... where I made the invites and I got a ton of compliments... love that.  

invite.

and here are some birthday pics (forgot my camera... so iPhone you win again)...

S:  Matthew 13-15

P:  tomorrow. guaranteed.

C:  lots!  love that!  started off making a list of the things I wanted to do... and I accomplished a lot of it... did a 'h' monogram... after seeing this...  'A'...

h.

then I  rearranged some decor in my craft room to inspire me a little more...

dreaming big.

( top:  felt ornament from Michael's, and a Quoteable card... bottom:  print from elisejoy and a jolee's sticker globe.)



then made part of a gift for my youngest sister as her birthday is soon.. and a card too... (I'll show you in 1/2 a month) and now planning my mom's gift... and then I finally sewed on the bias of my circle quilt...

rough edged.

finished. finally.

all the way around.

and sewed closed my crazy quilt.  so nice to have that done.  now just to tie it... and finally doing all the the catch up on project 365/ life. and watching the biggest loser with a blue moon.

blue {orange} moon

so nice to have a 'snow (but actually just rain) day'.

2/24/11

S: Matthew 12

P:  none.  its time to have a pep talk with myself.  ol' man weather shouldn't be stopping me.

C:  I started to actually bind off my crazy circle quilt... now just the hand stitching which will hopefully happen tomorrow as I sit and watch the snow flakes fall while listening to the radio for weather updates.

in other news... I started my 'new' job today... job # 3... the part time one... loved orientation and all that jazz... and a new name badge is just my cup of tea...

official.

and speaking of tea.. the town seems to be 'shut' down tomorrow for this huge storm... so I'm planning lots of crafty time and bible reading... and other reading too... can't wait!

xoxo, HH

2/23/11

S:  Matthew 11

P:  had a headache... definately feeling dehydrated and hungry... and needing salt... so needless to say I will admit to devouring McDonald's... yep. my body needed it. swear.
and another thing happened today... a patient asked if I worked 'two jobs' like my aide does... and I initially thought nope... and then I was like yes! I actually work THREE jobs... full time one place, part time another, and am a coach... no wonder why I'm tired...  but you're only young once right?

C:  my sister and I were our own versions of twins today... funny how that happens some times... hair, vests, green shirt, jeans, glasses. yep. that's us.

go puffy vests go.

xoxo, HH

2/22/11

S:  Matthew 10  My favorites are 10:7-8 "As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’  Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy,  drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give."

P:  um... i worked on this... a video.  and it took WAY longer than I thought.

C:  see above video.  and for the POTD.:

olive you.

we had a rep come to work and give a talk about H-wave... and he brought us lunch. and these olives were the size of  golf balls. crazy.

xoxo, HH

2/21/11

S: God is good all the time.

P:  vacation. I know... 2 days..

sister time.

C:   went to the Glass beach this morning to find some awesome things.  It amazing how literally a dump can produce something people want to take home as a souvineer a few decades later.

had a long drive back through some beautiful country and then finally started swim season.
 a long awaited woohoo.

finally.

back in the swing of things hopefully tomorrow.

xoxo, HH

2/20/11

S:  God is quite the artist

P:  um vacation.

C:  after some awesome coffee at Hard Core. and a little shopping. visiting some cute towns. and seeing the beach. and driving along 1. and eating lunch. we stopped at this crazy chapel.

for a solider.

told you it was crazy.

in the eye of the beholder.

but it may have been a favorite random stop of the day.
eventually we ended up in Fort Bragg.  did some scoping out. found dinner.
I think I could get use to this drive until you want to stop-drink good coffee- eat at random places- and turn around when you see something cool -way of life.

xoxo, HH

2/19/2011

S:  out enjoying God's artwork.

P: vacation. & it's called overslept.

and in honor of her (and a rest from shopping and such)... eating a lemon cupcake and drinking some champagne...

sweetness on multiple levels.

then off via the Golden Gate to Sebastopol.

S:  Exodus 35 - 40  so much color and specifics... God is quite the designer and instructor.

P:  its a complete SNOW day!  (mostly because of power outages and trees down) whoop whoop!  intense giddiness is overflowing in me.

C:  made a coffee cover... cuteness...

2/17/11

S: Exodus 31
my prayer was "God please get this swim season actually started"and "please send snow"  i know a little contradicted... but sympathize with me please!

P: um yeah... still nothing...

C: isn't this the cutest poster.  and of a rainy/snowy day it is a good reminder. thanks to this talented stamper for sharing that...  speaking of rainy days... these bright colors in my everyday 'work' job made me smile today...

strength in color... literally and figuratively

oh Theraband...
and then tonight this was the scene out my door...

sweet snow

the sight of falling snow makes me dream...

happy sigh.

swim:  frustration may be pushing its limits today... but thank goodness when I walked into my house I see this...

hello Mr. February ^

C:  started a new mini album (shown via iPhone photos)... I wanted to document my road to a marathon... ("P"/ health goal)... and for the very first time actually used a kit from Studio Calico... its the latest one... Candy Shoppe (sold out)...  so here is a peak... I'll add words and such soon...

2/15/11

S:  Exodus 28

P:  nothing.  worked on putting out fires (so to speak) in regards to the swim season that never begins... its starting to be frustrating. like really frustrating.  but I know that God is in control and has a bigger plan for all of this.

C: not to quote Carrie Underwood or anything... but...

Jesus take the wheel.

I'm feeling like a star, you can't stop my shine, I'm loving cloud nine, my head's in the sky.
I'm solo, I'm riding solo, I'm riding solo, I'm riding solo, sooloooo.

Now I'm feeling how I should, never knew single could feel this good, oh,
Stop playing miss understood, back in the game, who knew I would, oh,
So flex how I spread my wings, loving myself makes me wanna sing, oh,
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Telling me to get my shit together now I got my shit together, yeah,
Now I made it through the weather better days are Can't get no better

C: watched movies while going through old magazines.  love looking through old magazines for new creative thoughts and decor ideas and love the chance to watch a good chick flick without any comments...

otherwise today I did do some cleaning / dusting. and laundry. even changed my bed.  all while being sick and trying to hydrate. and remember to eat something with nutritional value.  hope to feel 100% for work tomorrow.

P: went swimming today... and it did feel pretty good... and the funny thing was I had better rhythm then I normally do when I swim... even Butterfly was fluid... but man did it stretch out my lower abs... weird... didn't know I was so tight...

and on the sick front... definitely trying to love pills...

nose please stop running.

C:  went shopping at Wal-Mart to catch up on my P365 photo development... It's going well...
