Eat, Play, Love {Patched}

This time last year, I was sewing this Picnic quilt.

Remember?

Then we didn't end up using it much.  

I don't know what I did wrong.  

But, the yellow canvas cloth seams starting pulling apart after just a few washes.

I packed the quilt away.  

I finally pulled it back out & sewed patched over the problem spots.

Now we have a family picnic quilt again.

For eating on - 

So, I baked lemon muffins this morning.

Want some lemon muffins & some funny stories?  

Confessions of a Cookbook Queen

Really.  I just found her blog this week 

& it is cracking me up & making my mouth drool.

So, you wanna know something a little embarrassing?

The words I embroidered on our quilt are

Eat * Play * Love

I did not mean that as a spoof on Eat, Pray, Love.  

I had never heard of the book or movie at the time.

I still haven't seen the movie, even though I love Julia.

I liked this blog post pondering on the movie.

(Is that okay to recommend a review for a movie I've never seen?)

Anyway.  All I meant was, it's our picnic quilt.

We'll eat on it.

Play on it.

And I'll make out with my husband on it.

But, now after the movie, I kinda wish I had chosen different words...

I guess I'll just have to embrace it for what it is.

Rain soaked jeans.  I'm short.  My jeans are always dragging.

Those are little choking hazard items on my floor.  Yes...

Embracing the camera 
is me committing to get into pictures with my loved ones.
Go read about it here at the Anderson Crew & get in on it yourself.
