How did this much time go by?

I know I have been neglecting my blog this year.  I am hanging my head in shame on how long it has been since I have updated it.

It seems like the days are getting shorter... I know, Einstein, Thomas Edison and all those other geniuses had the exact number of hours in their day! ... Depressing thought or motivational one---you decide! 

Finally the temperature seems to be getting a little cooler.  We rode the Metrorail to downtown Austin yesterday.  There was a gentle breeze, so the walk from the station was a nice one.  I usually sew while traveling, but, I enjoyed the view instead.

I have lots of projects on the table, as usual.  Bows, mini hats and fascinators.  I am also making a new basket style organic coffee filter.  I have only carried the cone sized filter in my shops and it is time to add the basket one as well. 

This is your life...

This was shared on Plurk and wanted to share it here.  I don't know where it came from...But, the message is meant to be shared.

Are you taking enough time for yourself?

Since our Anniversary was this past Thursday and hubby was scheduled off Friday and Saturday, I did even look at the mile long to do list.   We watched movies, talked and cooked a few great meals together.   The two days felt like more.

 Happy Anniversary to my hubby



I try and get as much done each day as possible and over schedule each one. I never know when my back will have me out for the count and then I lay there thinking of all the things that need to be done. This morning, I was asking myself.... Are you taking enough time for yourself? I love to create and can't imagine a life without artistic creations. But, it was fantastic to take a little time away from the hum-drum house work

...Now back to work,  my break is over!
