National Napping Day

With The Quilt Ladies

As a Quilter, nothing makes me happier than a well made bed. From the mattress, sheets, pillows and then the quilt ! !

It just all makes me happy.

I love my bed and after all this knee stuff, it’s three weeks today, NAPPING has become my daily goal. Take a walk, nap, exercise, nap, and after a trip to the bathroom NAPPING is priority one ! 

ENJOY National NAPPING Day Today!  It’s always great to nap under one of My Quilt Ladies Quilts ! !  Get all my Quilt Patterns

Today is Dr Seuss’ Birthday

Were We Fell in Love with Books

Dr Seuss' Birthday

What’s your favorite Dr. Seuss book?   Mine is Years ago when the boys were little this was one of the books I loved to read to them. It’s a rainy day and what’s there to do??? The cat knows.

Second book for me has to be, Green Eggs and Ham. The word play is nothing short of perfect and we all still can recite most of the book.

Dr. Seuss Day is a holiday that celebrates the birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel – otherwise known for his work writing and illustrating over 60 books under his pen name of Doctor Seuss. His work includes many of the most popular children’s books of all time, selling over 600 million copies and being translated into more than 20 languages by the time of his death.

Thank you Dr. Seuss for all the reading ! ! !

Speak Less – Daily Words

Make Every Day Special

growing older daily words beth ann doing

I know my drum beats different than others. And, that’s just fine with me. With silence I don’t have to share your drum beat.
My tap dancing to please everyone else has stopped. My silence is not acceptance, it’s usually fury and most others are not worth my anger. Anger harms me more than them, truthfully it exhausts me.
So, when you see my doings, (art, photos, quilts), it’s my drum beat.

Every Day a Holiday Jan 1st to Jan 14th, 2020

Quick and Easy Holiday’s !

2020 Year of HappinessI’m making 202o my year of HAPPINESS.
It’s taken me years to get to this point. I’m going to try new things here on my site too and if it works it works,  if not so be it. No worries.
I have been taking care of others for WAY too long and I’m done living their lives and missing my own. Our travel this past year proved that (to me), all was fine without me.  I have figured out being involved, but not being involved (that’s for another day), laughter is key and with that a better heart.  My daily holiday list have become a go to for me. It makes me stop and celebrate every day, l like the fun ideas of happiness. Most day’s it’s an afternoon coffee with Husband on our Lanai, a moment to stop, breathe, center myself and be happy.
SO, Here I go into 2020
