Beauty...

Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it.  ~Confucius

Today, my goal is to find the beauty in things that would normally make me crazy!...I will report back at the end of the day!  :)

Yay!

So excited for the return of The Rachel Zoe Project tonight!!!

I am sure my husband feels the same!!  :)

Plates!

These plates are killing me!!  All together, they are so cheery!!

I can't decide which colors I like best.  Just looking at them makes me happy!

I really want to learn to sew!

my first sewing book

Two years ago (or was it three?), I decided I really wanted to learn to sew.  I convinced my husband that I NEEDED a sewing machine and he fell for it.  I got it for Christmas and his brother got me sewing books (one of them shown to the left) for Christmas that year.  I am ashamed to admit that I have really only used the machine twice and have maybe flipped through the books three times.  I am also ashamed that I tend to get really excited about a project and then lose interest rather quickly, like Rudy from The Cosby Show (I think it was Rudy).  This is going to change...now.  I have decided that I will not start something without a plan to finish it.  I am going to set goals for myself and will achieve them.  ...starting with opening one of my books and getting going on a project!

I am really hoping I am not the only one who has these great ideas in my head, plans them out in such great detail that I feel like I have actually completed the project, so I lose interest because I am so mentally exhausted from all of the planning.  I am not sure that even makes sense to anyone but me.  Ha!

Just looking at pictures of this shop, inspires me to get moving on this sewing thing, so I plan to stare at them daily:
