Valentine's Day - Happy!

Just thought I would share this ( NO, not the chocolate coverd strawberries, those would be all mine! ) but the rose history below

 -- I got orangy ones :) LOl Wonder what is on his mind??!

Roses - Significance and Meaning of Each Color

Roses come in a wide range of colors. Each different color has a different meaning, or significance. It sends a silent, yet extremely important message from the sender to receiver.
Who originally defined the rose color meanings? We don't know. But, you should make sure you are sending the right message when you select roses for someone. Otherwise, he or she will get the wrong message!


What does a Color Mean?


Red Love, beauty, courage and respect


White Purity and innocence, silence or secrecy, also reverence and humility


Pink Appreciation,"Thank you", grace, perfect happiness, and admiration


Dark Pink Appreciation, gratitude


Light Pink admiration, sympathy


Yellow Joy, gladness, friendship, delight, the promise of a new beginning


Orange Desire, and enthusiasm


Red and White Given together, these signify unity.


Red Rosebud A symbol of purity and loveliness


White Rosebud Symbolic of girlhood


Thornless Rose Signifies "Love at first sight".

Just Takes 2 - Blocks 12 and 13 - I think

Just Takes 2 blocks,, Yeah! I'm keeping up!  I like these two, and I really like the star.  Best of all they are paperpieced so all the points are there :)

I'm Keeping Up! - Just Takes Two

The last block in the January 15 blocks --  I printed it out and paper pieced it - it was a lot easier!  don't laugh at my leaning wall, or the checks that aren't strait HEY, my house isn't "straight" either !

But I'm giving myself big pats on the back for keeping up!

Now I can start on the "OH My Stars" quilt along by Thought and Found.
doing the happy dance  :)

I really did DO something today - really!

A new block for the Just Takes Two Challenge and the other one I redid as paper piecing - much better 1/4 inch on the points.

The fan kicked me.  No fun.

This was all I did. I'll admit it.

Back to work tomorrow - because after all Tomorrow is another day! {did you catch the Gone With The Wind reference?} grins

Weekend Vegetation

aaahh, the weekend, brings a big smile to my face. No fuss, No Stress, I don't have to be at work ( not that I don't like work, but it's nice not to have to go, if you get my idea )

I vegetated - in front of the computer.  I'm a big computer cauliflower, not a potato cause those are fattening but a cauliflower.  Puffy white with green leaves ( oops, one in the fridge that needs to be steamed for dinner - I forgot all about it ).

But OH! I love my laptop and the internet.  I get to go places and see all the things that people do, that because I'm sitting with the laptop on my lap, I'm not doing, How can hours just slip by!  I look up and three hours has gone past in just the blink, or click, of the eye/mouse --  geez -   I get nothing done.  A Big Computer Cauliflower. 

HOWEVER - all is not lost. I really did get something done yesterday - three ( yep 3! ) blocks of the Just Take Two project.  The homespun is tougher to work with than I bargined for - it stretches something awful {big frown } My seam lines don't always stay straight and my points on some of the squares are going to be gone when I sew them together.  See if you can pick out which block I'm going to do again?  I have a couple more to go on this round of blocks but I'm keeping up! 

happy dance going on here

So now it's Sunday morning -  LOL - and guess what I'm doing !!?? 

Did you ever have cinnamon toast made with butter and cinnamon sugar put in a broiler until the sugar bubbles and the cinnamon smell goes all through the house?  My mom used to make that for us when I was a kid and I made it for my kids and I was so hungry for some this morning --  ( dang! I should have taken a picture of it before I ate it! aahh  I COULD make more ) So I had my cuppa tea, my wonderfully warm cinnamon toast and my ticket to the world in my lap - a wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning

and this guy staring at me



( he got some crust )

Enjoy your day!

  I will get something accomplished, I will get something accomplished, I will get something accomplished.....
