~*Our Reality Under the Sun*~

 We'll it's official, we are back into a Routine...

 Nathan is in FULL study mode....
Oh and while I was out Friday night he shaved his head...
I'm quite as a mouse;)...Yet, he still wear's earplug!
 This week I started classes again. They seem like work, but now, I am prepared to deal with it! New semesters are fun, exciting, and kinda scary... This semester I feel much more prepared, I know how the classes work. I also 'know' people in my classes, which is, actually a lot more fun:) 

New curtains! SOoooo much Better:)
This week was busy getting things started! I went to my first sewing day of this term... I am almost finished my first quilt! I can't wait until it is done. I LOVE quilting...In fact, last week, (before my classes started) I busied myself 'playing' with my new quilting toys:a cutting mat and rotary cutter (Thanks Rachel and Nathan). I had so much fun cutting, I was able to cut all of the fabric for my next quilt! 

Fabric

My new tools:)

Tea, Murder She Wrote (thanks Chris), and Quilting= Perfect Afternoon

The Bulb Cutouts get appliquéd onto strips of the coordinating fabric...You'll See!
 The pattern I am following is a free patter from Amy Butler designs

No dish cloths+feeling resourceful= Crochet my own! 
 I started getting creative with the dishcloths and made some prettier ones too!

By some miracle, my garden didn't totally die and I have some cherry tomatoes! 
Other new starts include: Zumba class started, great workout! Friday night, we had a welcome dinner at the Ecolodge for new SOS (significant others of Saba) members. The Ecolodge restaurant will always be special, I love that you need to bring a flash light and hike into the rain forest to eat at this eco-friendly candlelit restaurant! Saturday morning, the SOS had our first monthly meeting and planned many fun SOS events. 

That's it for now... Life under the sun is not always full of excitement and adventure...
