Quiltting Who knew?

No I myself have not taken up knitting. I mean I knew that quilting was large in some circles but who knew I didn't! I mean I have grown up around my grandmother crocheting but that is something very different and has a much different following.

My co-worker Lynda is a very accomplished quilter! Something that I did not know about her I mean she has won awards, teaches and even has been on HGtv for her quilting! She has done 3d quilting shapes I mean it really is something to be seen. I am going to include two links that she has sent me about what she has done and I hope everyone checks it out!!

What she does kinda makes me want to quilt though I would probably sew my finger to the quilt. It has been awhile since I have operated a sewing machine. My mother taught me when I was around 15/16 to use a sewing machine. I used to make my own drawstring pajama pants. And let me just tell you they were awesome. My favorite pair had to be the fleecey ones with penguins. I mean honestly you just don't get much cooler than that, I remember I used to wear them on chillier days lifeguarding in the summer. Ah how I miss those pants.

I hope everyone had a good fat tuesday! And Happy Hump Day!

Time to Start again

Hi! It has been more than a long time since I have lasted posted anything here on my blog. I decided to take some time off in August from writing the blog to deal with some personal issues that were going on in my life at the time. Well its February now and I feel its time to re-start my ramblings. New year, new me, new attitude. I won't go into what has gone on in my life unless people really ask me to.

I have decided to refocus my thoughts on the blog since many many things have changed in my life over the past year causing me to re-evaluate things that are most important to me. Now I will still post on my love for Philadelphia sports! I can't help it, my father had two girls and no boys so naturally my sister and I are sports fans! But every once in awhile I want to talk about something cool and fun I have discovered. Also give someone much deserved credit for something that they have done. I also need something to break up the dribble about my musings of ppl on the metro who wont give up their seat for the pregnant lady or having a two hour delay on my metro line. Such metro troubles have me yearning for the efficieny that is londons metro system!

If you havent figured out my blog is titled ramblings because as you now see that is what I do I ramble. I often have fits of ADD and go from topic to topic on a whim!

Onto something that I think is very cool and creative is the website of Matthew Gray Gubler. A friend sent me his website thinking that I would enjoy it. And I did! My mother was an artisit and art teacher so I have an appreciation for people creating art! Yes I do dabble in some art myself but I do not have the means to show any of you, I mean I can barely make this site flashy so therefore I prefer to promote the work of others! Anyways onwards and upwards to what I was talking about before I jumped off tangent. Some of you might not like it the work on the site but I demand that you considered it. Art is different things to different people! I happen to think this is great and neat! Anyways I think what he is done is really exceptional and therefore you should check it out!

His website is : http://www.matthewgraygubler.com/

I hope you all enjoy!

Raising a glass!

ps after reviewing some past blogs over the past two years or so I have decided that possibly someone in my life needed to hit me on some of those days!
