For Whatever We Lose

Image
source Maggie and Milly and Molly and May e.e.cummings maggie and milly and molly and may went down to the beach (to play one day) and maggie discovered a shell that sang so sweetly she couldn’t remember her troubles,and milly befriended a stranded star whose rays five languid fingers were; and molly was chased by a horrible thing which raced sideways while blowing bubbles: and may came home with a smooth round stone as small as a world and as large as alone. For whatever we lose(like a you or a me) it’s always ourselves we find in the sea Happy Weekend! xo Alicia 

In A Word...Delight

I really enjoy how this tree looks in the evening sky. Every time I see it, it looks different against the sky.   xo Alicia

Work In Progress...

Image
This is the first one I'm sharing this year. It's been a little fustrating though, because I've had a few projects waiting to be finished up. For some reason it's been very hard to get to them, lack of movtivation but as feeling like I was on pause. Anyway, here's my new work in progress: One almost done and one more to go! I finally finished the first pair I started! I can't wait for my Great Aunts to have them. They LOVED the pair I made for my Grandmother, so she asked, in the summer, if I would make them a pair. Finally almost done! xo Alicia

I Guess I Needed That

Image
source What a weekend! It started out with a good cry. I know I had been holding some stress in but boy did it hit me all at once! I realized I NEED a VACATION! For the last year (almost) I've taken care of everyone else in my family and have neglected myself. I also realize that said vacation isn't going to happen right away. I'll just be over here dreaming of when and where. Luckily it wasn't all that bad, thanks to my lovely sista/friend C.C., who (let me cry a bit and heard about my other source of fustration) took me out for a few beers, sound advice and lots of laughs! Love her! source I meet a sweet and adorable boston terrier named Gizmo. The good thing is I get see him again because he belongs to my Aunt P. I won't get to see him often though, because they live in Northern California. He totally won he over, and now I want one! Isn't that little guy in the picture super adorable? xo Alicia

Another Fresh New Year

Image
source " Another fresh new year is here . . . Another year to live! To banish worry, doubt, and fear, To love and laugh and give! This bright new year is given me To live each day with zest . . . To daily grow and try to be My highest and my best! I have the opportunity Once more to right some wrongs, To pray for peace, to plant a tree, And sing more joyful songs! " ~ William Arthur Ward. xo Alicia

Goals for 2012

Image
These are my goals for the year. * better blog prep: I want a better blogging schedule. Some post are prepped and ready to go, but I procrastinate. * try new crochet patterns: I want to keep expanding my crochet abilities. * finally learn to use my sewing machine: seriously !!! * take more pictures: I miss so many opportunities because I get self-conscious. There are other goals but too many to list here. xo Alicia

Monday Pretties...

Image
Thought today's pretties should be past Parade floats, since the Parade is today: source source source source source There's a lot of history when it comes to the  Tournament of Rose , click the link if you would like to know more. Do you like the new look of the blog? It was completely unplanned. I played around with the available backgrounds but wasn't really liking anything. Until I found this gray chevron background! I think a new banner is in order! xo Alicia
