Some Fav's From My Ipod

Sappy Chick Flicks Kate & I Like To Watch While Sewing

 SPOILER ALERT: If you haven't watched these, reading our "favorite lines" might ruin the ending for you!

The Notebook

Allie: "Say you're a bird."
Noah: "If you're a bird, I'm a bird."

and

Noah: "Your mother is my home."


Life Or Something Like It



Lanie: "Things happen. Things you never see coming. Then you think afterward-' If I had known this, would I have changed things. Would I have done more? Or, would I be thinking - 'I need more time?'"

Pete: " Let's just say that Prophet Jack was right in one version of the universe . . . maybe he tapped into some wave length where in this version of your life, you do in fact die next Thursday. But, maybe if you change the path, change the path your currently on, the outcome is going to be different.
Lanie: "But, I've worked so hard on this one."

The Story Of Us




Ben: "What was your High and Low today."

and

Katie: "I'm saying Chow Funs because we're an us . . . And, God you're a good friend and good friends are hard to find . . . I'm saying Chow Funs because I love you!"

Footloose

Ariel: "What's the matter?"
Ren: "You're beautiful."
Ariel: "What?"
Ren: " I mean it, you are beautiful."

While You Were Sleeping

Jack: "Marry me."
Lucy: "Ya, I love you."
Jack: "I love you back."
Lucy: "So, I had planned to marry Peter, but I married Jack instead. Thank goodness my father was right. Life doesn't always work out the way you planned. But Jack . . . Jack gave me the perfect gift-a stamp in my passport. He took me to Florence for our honeymoon. I guess you could say he gave me the world. Peter once asked me when it was that I fell in love with jack and I told him, 'it was while you were sleeping.'"

Sixteen Candles



Jake: "Make a wish, Samantha."
Samantha: "It already came true."

Some Kind of Wonderful

Watts: "So, how do they look?"
Keith: "You look good wearing my future."

My Big Fat Greek Wedding



Maria (Toula's Mom): "The man, he is the head. But, the woman, she is the neck, and she can turn the head any way she wants."

The Family Stone



Meredith: " I try, I try . . . ."
Ben: "Maybe you should stop, just stop trying. It's exhausting - trying to keep that lid screwed on so tight. Just relax. Try it."
Meredith: (trying to lean back and relax) " I'm not comfortable."
Ben: " Here's the thing, Meredith. You have a freak flag-you just don't fly it."

Along Came Polly

Rueben: "I assess risk for a living . . . so I try to manage that risk by avoiding danger, and having a plan, and knowing what my next move is, and I guess you don't exactly live your live your life that way."
Polly: " No, I do it . . . I do it a little differently."

Fried Green Tomatoes

Evelyn:"And, if you won't listen to reason - there's always TOWANDA!"

Sweet Home Alabama

Melanie: "I'm happy in New York, Jake. But then I come down here, and this fits, too."
Jake: " Since when does it have to be one or the other? You can have roots and wings, Mel."

Call Ripley's

I'm serious -- call Ripley's Believe It Or Not!  I'm actually caught up on something. 

Okay, not something that really matters like cleaning or laundry or work, or a million other things on my "To Do List". 

But, I am caught up on my Designer Mystery BOM, and after starting like 4 months late, I'm just pretty excited.

Block 5 is called Radiance and was designed by Camille Roskelley of "Thimbleblossoms". 

Here it is in "Glace" (I changed the fabric a bit on this one):

009

and here it is in "Aster Manor"

008

Block 6 is called "North Pole", and it was designed by Mary & Barb of "Me & My Sister".  This rates up there with my favorite blocks (it's so darn cute)!

Here is Block 6 in "Glace"

007

and here it is in "Aster Manor"

004
  

Block 7 is on the way -- I've been checking the mailbox every day for it!

TTFN,

Kelly

Oh Christmas Tree . . .

oh Christmas Tree, how lovely are thy branches!  Christmas decorating -- fun, fun!

It all starts with finding the "perfect tree"!  We go to the tree farm, and Studly and the kids quickly choose "the perfect tree"

001 

and they all stand there while I search the farm, just to make sure that they have indeed found the "perfect tree"!

It's freezing cold, the wind is blowing, and they try to be patient!

I take tons of pictures

011
and everyone is pushing me to hurry -- because it really is freezing.

I don't find a better tree than the "perfect tree", so

009
  

Studly cuts it down!

This year, we also got to search for "the perfect mini-tree" for Kate's first Christmas in her apartment:

019

Kate's in charge of choosing her "perfect tree" -- so it takes a little less (but not much less) time!

And, while we wait for them to shake out the trees, and put a net on them for safe travel, we go inside where it's warm -- and have hot chocolate and popcorn

024

Can you tell this is our favorite part?

Then, we load up the "perfect trees", and pump up the volume (to drown out my singing) on the Christmas carols, as we make our way home to decorate!

TTFN,

Kelly
