Oh My Goodness! It's ONE FLOWER WEDNESDAY!!

I was saving my flowers for today!! And then I almost missed it!!! 

So with a little bit of explanation... I bought a Fiskar's Hexagon Puncher!! It's amazing!!! LOVE IT! So I've got them going.... 

Yup!!! That's three and it's 

Days until I get married!!!

Nuts!

I forgot to blog yesterday!!! Nuts! So to make up for it I'm going to share the flowers I found on my desk on Monday! At work we share desks however we do have usual desks. When I got in on Monday I had a surprise waiting. These little suckers are made out of clay. After some investigating I found out that my friend Lisa made them. Lisa makes wicke cakes too! I'm trying to convince her that she should open a bakery or cake shop.

Waiting

I've hurt my knee some how. I'm not sure what happened but it has stopped my training. With three weeks to go before my half marathon this is just not gonna work. Today I'm doing something about it. I am waiting and waiting and waiting to see someone at the sports clinic. I started my wait at 7:30. It is now almost 1:00. Hopefully soon. But while I've been waiting I did some bunches and I've been reading "Wild". And I went and met a friends little girl. So all in all a good day well spent. And it will be even better when I get to see the doctor 😃 hopefully soon.

One Rainy Wednesday and One Flower Wednesday

This week has been exceptionally busy. I worked overtime on Friday. Then I worked all weekend Saturday and Sunday were 12 hour shifts and Monday was 10 hours. And the in-laws were in town. LB's birthday was on Friday and then one of his brothers birthdays was on Saturday. Then yesterday I had my very first Executive board meeting for our union! And then LB and I went for a run. It's was disturbingly hot out. Today is my day off and I started it at 7:00 with an amazing run. It was cool out and there was lightening lighting up the sky but no rain. Now it's raining and it's finally cooling off its wonderful! Which brings me to my flower today. I LOVE this cute elephant fabric!

One of life's simple joys... Fabric

My spoils from yesterday. These will all be made into bunches for my quilt. I'm ubber excited for the blue fabric with the Elephants. That will make the bedding truly special for me and LB! I cannot wait to show him one of those flowers! I also bought a charcoal grey color just for the edge and the Spaces between my flowers that need to be filled in to complete the pattern I want! Very excited for this! I cannot wait to start putting pieces together!

I also picked up this fabric! I'm not 100% sure what I want to do with it but I love Winnie The Pooh and the whole gang! I love that he has his head stuck in the honey pot and that there are little bees buzzing around him. I'm extremely happy with this find! Thanks to my sister who pointed it out... or I think thats how it happened!

Awesome Bug Photos

I went out to take photos of this butterfly that was in my backyard and then I missed it but I found some bees and a fly! I love the two bees that are flying above the flower. Thanks again to my dad and step mom for the new camera lens! :) I LOVE IT!!!

Mushroom flower Wednesday

Today was supposed to be a gardening day but the weather didn't hold up for that. I did get a lot done though. I cleaned up my house and went running and spent some time playing with my new camera lens in the garden. I took some fantastic photos of a fly and a bee. I also got this flower done. So all in all success! 

A Day In The Garden

These guys all grow in my backyard garden. I just planted it a couple years ago so this year I think I'll get a ton of flowers and growing things. I'm also getting a lot of grass and extra weeds in there. Hopefully it'll be a nice enough day that I can get out there and mow the lawn and weed weed weed! 

One Flower Wednesday

I'm not 100% sure that this flower is purple enough to count as purple. But I'm gonna wait and see when I get more pieces done.

Flowers

I took a short walk break at work and took some flower pictures while I was out there

Garden Update

Overwhelmed

(I'm sorry that I can't link the picture to its owner. But I do love it!)
Yesterday was new fabric day. It looks like I was in a green phase! I bought some other colors but I bought three different greens. The chatty lady who cut all my fabric was super nice and encouraging. So then I was thinking about how I actually wanted to lay my pattern out. And WHAM!!!! Overwhelmed in 2.2 seconds when I realized that I am going to be making 900!!!! flowers. 30 per row, 30 rows. OMG and that's just the front!
Kept sewing and got to thinking. 30 sounds like a doable number. Yes I could do thirty. Then I should be able to do 30 rows of 30. I'll just do it one row at a time. I can do this! If I can run a marathon I should be able to stitch a blanket. I'm getting faster when I do the stitching so by the time I'm 85 I'll have my nursing home blanket complete. Just kidding! I'm going to try to get it done within the next year or so. This month I turn 29 so I'll try to have it done by the time I'm 30 (or at least one side of it)

One Flower Wednesday

10 hours of work done! And one happy Wednesday flower completed and four more waiting to be stitched together! And one PVR getting emptier!

Rainy Flowers

Its been raining for the last few days, so I've been in the house. So far I've got about a billion hexagons cut out and ready to be basted. I have got about 30 basted and then I've got about 6 complete Hexie <flowers> bunches. :)
But yesterday I was out taking garden photos in the rain. I hope more flowers open up soon. And I hope that my poor hail beaten bleeding hearts come back.

Despite the weather we went for a 3 mile run tonight. It was super nice to be out moving after sitting at my work desk for 10 hours. The track was as thrilling as ever :) ! Hopefully we will stay on track so we can get super wicked personal best in California this year!

E.P.P Weekend one!

 I've gotten four flowers done, although from now on I will be referring to them as "bunches" because *LB* (Boyfriend) doesn't want to sleep under a flower bed.

 This will be one of the black pieces

 Another one of the black pieces. I love the music notes!

 Black piece. I realized I'll need a lot more black pieces than I will of the colored pieces But The black pieces will be fun with their colorful ways! :)

This is my first (and only) colored flower. I'm hoping to make it to the fabric store today to pick up some more fabric and get a bunch more cut out. I think I can do this project while I'm at work! I should be able to do at least a little on my lunch breaks!

Garden Update

Gardening update! I took my wicked awesome Canon Rebel outside the other day for some new garden pictures and thought I'd share them. Once I've got this up I will go and take pictures of by EPP project progress!!! I'm so excited to share it!!!
