Finding What Makes You Happy!

If everyday was perfect, would we know the feeling

of the incredible and outstanding days when

 they came our way!

That is what made yesterday so Great!

And this is how it went:

Awoke early to send our son off to high school. 

As of yesterday he has now driven himself to school for 4 days.

When did this happen!

Made plans to meet a friend at the beach.

Gathered my coffee, hand stitching, audio book, beach chair

and off I went.

  

After I got to the beach.

I made a few of these fabric origami beauties

(I will post more about this in future), while listening to

The Traveling Pomegranates. Now I must say

 "Could Life Get Any Better"

 Yes It Can!

Here is a group of painting students.

I could just feel their excitement.

And I was thinking how much we are all alike in finding 

"Passion" in our hobbies. They were chatting about colors, depth and

perception. Sound a bit familiar!

 And as much warmth and beauty that is found in our studios

(that what I will call it from now on).

There was such a heart felt feeling of seeing their studios

being moved onto the beach.

What a scene!

 And as the eager to learn painters where gathered around their teacher.

I kept thinking that our canvas is fabric and we all feel

the joys of LEARNING something new! 

 And as I turned with my New Camera (I think I am heading into another

passion). I hope you can see him--there is a man with his club in hand

shooting his golf balls.

Looks like he is Happy!

And to top of the Perfect Day, my friend Denise came

 and we chatted for hours. I have known Denise for a short while,

 but we have allot in common and talking for hours was so... easy and so... much fun.

We are planning on revisiting the beach VERY soon.

 So here is a inspiring Sunset a few weeks ago.

And visitor that was in my back yard.

I am new to blogging since January. My plan was to blog consistently.

I have discovered that I am not capable of blogging during July and August.

I have a summer business, blogging and quilting has to take a back burner during that time.

So I will call that time period my "Summer Hiatus" 

So to all of you concerned and curious quilters,

Thank You for checking on me over the summer.

Till We Quilt Again,

Helen
