Picture of the Day #4

January 4, 2017 by Angie 2 Comments

Holy Smokes! I almost missed the picture of the day … thank goodness for alarm #4.

Today was a doozy of a day!! I rushed out of bed to place my Bella’s Bundle order on the Stampin’ Up! website and it was down. Down …. meaning nothing worked! All my morning plans flew right out the window. The good news is, all is well now! Whew!!

My Picture of the Day #4 is of Skittles (Green Cheek Conure).

The first picture is of her in the car on the way to the lake house. She has very high metabolism and needs to be feed often… so on the road trip, she hops on the bowl and eats away… as I drive 🙂 Sometimes she hangs out on my shoulder… as I drive. I always wonder if people see her and think we are crazy!!

Bath times are a hoot with Skittles!! She loves them and if you’re friends with me on Facebook you’ve seen a few of her videos.

Here’s a picture of her afterwards … all cozy in a towel (drying off).

Have a good night!

Picture of the Day #3

January 3, 2017 by Angie 4 Comments

omg (gosh) this picture cracks me up!!!

Right in the middle of my Group Coaching call that I have with my team every Tuesday, my Apple Watch beeps and this is the message it gave me. I totally lost it and had to share. I was like … “does my phone know I’m talking a mile a minute and I need to breathe”? LOL

This is how my day started…. I woke up at 6am (I’m a 7:30 kind of girl) and was checking email by 6:30 and on conference calls from 9am to 5:15pm.

I’m not complaining … just sharing! Tuesdays are downline days and I love helping my team!

That’s all I’ve got today… see Day 3 of Picture of the day and I almost missed it. Thank goodness for alarms on my iPhone (I have three set for picture of the day).

Have a great night!

Picture of the Day #2

January 2, 2017 by Angie 6 Comments

My picture of the day #2 is a picture of Bella that we took over the Christmas break … and it’s not just one picture but multiple!

We find her so funny at times and we can’t stop taking her picture when she’s acting all silly.

The picture below was altered using the Prisma app on an iPhone (pretty cool isn’t it?).

Gotta run, today is the last day for pre-orders for Bella’s Bundles and I have a million things to do (like making sure my math is right on how much card stock to order).

See ya!

Christmas Quilts

December 6, 2016 by Angie 2 Comments

Before we talk about the Christmas Quilts I’m working on I have need to say I’m very sorry!!!!

I didn’t realize that my lack of posting would scare some of you and that you would think I or my husband were sick. We are both doing well and I’m happy to say that this year!! ( This time last year Dave was recovering from one surgery and preparing for another.)

So, where have I been? Everywhere but here I guess you could say!

When I discovered that I had worried some people I started thinking about the reasons and it simply boils down to LIFE.

One thing that came to me was… when I don’t feel well … I SEW! Or if a family member is ill … I SEW!

When I feel well… I WORK and let’s face it my work is pretty fun too! But when I don’t feel well, sewing is easy and requires very little thought process.

In addition to working, I’ve been refinishing some furniture for the lake house. My friend Tracey found a beautiful table for me at Salvation Army and she and I refinished it and all six chairs. After the fact, I’m almost wishing I had bought new… but… I have enjoyed saying “I did this” (along with help from Tracey). We also re-did a 6 foot church pew (will take pictures soon).

Now to the subject of sewing/quilting. I’ve started a few quilts .. but started is as far as I got.

The fabric I choose for my 2nd Christmas Quilt is Cookie Exchange (you need one yard each of three fabrics).

After I placed it on my design wall … I decided that I don’t like it. I think it needs a fourth fabric … or something to break it up!

Sorry bad picture (took picture at night)!!

Over the Christmas break I’m going to place it back on my design wall and see what it would look like using an Ivory Jelly Roll.

This may be the last post I share in a while (unless several of you tell me to just post random stuff). I’m working on a new program for my Stampin’ Up! business and I’m launching it in a few weeks and as much as I’d like to do both, there just aren’t enough hours in the day.

I do plan on offering more Quilt Alongs … but, they will be spaced apart. My goal is one a quarter for 2017 and ideally I would like to do two but I also know that I have to set realistic goals for myself and I’m pretty sure one a quarter is doable.

If I don’t see you before December 25th… Have a Merry Christmas!!
