This seems to be my theme this year...."where has the time gone"..."I'll be a better blogger"..."I'm not going to let so much time pass between posts"...and here I am again, almost a month has gone by. So yes, it's the same old song and I'm on the 11th verse...since I last posted I think I've been cleaning like a wild woman...we had friends here last week and the kids are coming for Thanksgiving...so I've been doing that heavy duty cleaning...and I did some baking to prepare for our friends. Thinking back to my word for this year...CELEBRATE!...I truly have celebrated this year...I've celebrated all the things I've done, including cleaning like a wild woman. I used to get all worked up if I didn't get to sew every day (even for just a few minutes)...now don't get me wrong, there is nothing better to me than to spend time upstairs sewing up a storm...just my fabric, my machine and my thoughts...but I've found a way to do lots of other things in a day and to still CELEBRATE that day, even if it doesn't include sewing. So while this post may have started out as "Poor me, no time to sew post" it has turned into a "I'm so glad I've had time to CELEBRATE, even the little things in life" post. My mom always said "It's all about your attitude and how you look at things"...WOW! Was she ever right!
I did get some sewing done this weekend...the Fat Quarter Shop Mystery BOM block arrived and I always just love putting those together...here is this month's block
and it sure was fun to put together...and since I have the finishing kit I decided to put the first 2 rows together so when we get to block 12 my quilt will be just about finished...I LOVE these blocks and I know I am really going to LOVE this quilt!
So...no promises of when I'll be back...no excuses about where I've been...just know that I'll be CELEBRATING every day...no matter what I'm doing...Life is Sooooooo Good!

Great perspective, Carol! I needed this today!
I was thinking about you the other day as I pulled from the wool scraps I bought from you during one of your cleaning sprees. Nice to know you are still hanging in there--and celebrating!! : )
There's nothing better than 'celebrating' everything.
Quilting is supposed to be a happy experience :) Glad to see you've caught the vision.
Your mother gave you some wise advice, attitude really is what makes or breaks the day. Went to a movie last night, "About Time". Good movie if you get the notion.
That is a pretty block! The quilt is going to be a knock-out!
Your Mother's words were so true and I'm glad you are CELEBRATING life to it's fullest.
We should all do the same :)
I am interested in buying the pattern My Country Seasons which I saw on Log Cabin Quilter blog.
Tried your email and had difficulty, I did not want to change my google. Thanks for your time will await answer. Blessings, Brook

Love the fabrics you are using in your blocks. Happy to hear you are celebrating. Hope you are enjoying The Happiness Project. I know I did.
I like hearing from you whenever you have time to talk! Your attitude is wonderful and contagious, I need to start celebrating the small stuff instead of worry over the small stuff! Thanks for the reminder.
Hi Carol I can't seem to access your email and I am interested in "A Country Season" quilt pattern...could you email me with details--thanks--came over from Log Cabin Quilter hugs, Julierose
I would celebrate too because those are so beautiful blocks.
A great post... Sounds like you're living life to the fullest. I think we all go through different seasons in our lives...Quilting may not be the current one, but Carol you are a true quilter...It's there. Whether you are reading about it, Playing "pinterest" or decorating the house. Just because the needle isn't in your hand- you are no less a quilter...You may even be a BETTER one, because you are keeping life in perspective.... Enjoy.
I love that quilt -- the fabrics are so pretty. In case you don't get back here, have a wonderful Thanksgiving with the kids!!!
Lovely blocks :-) I'm so glad you are spending some time celebrating!! Thanks for this post!

Hi Sweet Carol! It's been a long time since I've written. I've been feeling a bit puny for some time now, but I wanted to take a minute while I was up and around to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and pray that the upcoming new year will bring you all an abundance of joy and blessings. I hope to write more after the new year rolls in...we'll see. In the meantime, I'm sending you HUGE HUGS and lots of wonderful thoughts. Keeping you in my prayers as always. Hugs n Love, Nancy
Hope you had a lovely Christmas. Looking forward to blog postings in 2014.
