WOW! I can't believe the summer has gone by so fast. It seems like barely a month since I posted my last blessing and here it is 3 months. Not sure what happened to the time as I certainly do not have a pile of finished projects to show for it :) Does anyone else find they just get busy during the summer months, too busy for mom time? My "baby" started his senior year in high school and though I do miss him during the day I am glad to be back in a routine that the school year brings with it. So I have picked up my sampler and finished two squares this week. I am hoping to average at least two or more a week and maybe this time next year it will be ready to frame and hang. I have been checking on the flicker account and it looks like there are many beautiful new additions. Can't wait to see more of everyone else's.

Cheers,

Jude

3-Latte

Love my latte! I start the day every day with a nice homemade latte. If we are out of town the first thing my husband does when he wakes up is go to the nearest coffee place to get our morning coffee. We used to bring our cappacino machine with us on the road but now there is a Starbucks in many hotel lobbies so no need to lug the machine. One of my favorite moments of the day is sitting outside early in the morning if I should happen to be out of bed before anyone and drinking my latte while reading my daily inspirational books and getting ready for the day. Our backyard is surrounded by trees and sometimes the only sound I can hear are the birds and an occasional rustle of the trees if a breeze is in the air. It's so magical to be out of the city and living in the country without the sounds of traffic. I truly am blessed!

1st Blessing!

Well I haven't finished outlining all my squares but just couldn't wait to get started! My first blessing is the sunrise which I see outside my bedroom window every morning. Although I am not a morning person once I do get moving I love to sit outside and look out over the hills which surround our house and start the day with prayer, meditation and gratitude for all that is possible.
