This week has been wonderful for me. Mel invited me to come stay in her beautiful home on Maui. My friends Molly and Tina flew in and we were off for a beautiful adventure!
Loved this crazy fish and think it would translate into a quilt.
Mel's and colors and flowers , oh
my!
Breakfast on my birthday - macadamia pancakes. One for three of us.
Fried rice like no other!
Four happy Girl's enjoying the sunshine and fun!
This is the breakfast place that is a must on the island of Maui.
On the beach after breakfast. The ocean is such a gift from God. So many ideas for story quilts here!
Tshirts outside shop that sells toHoneymooners So Mel was sitting out in the hot tub and I went out to sit and talk to her. I slipped somehow and momentum took over and soon I took three big steps and landed in the swimming pool. 😳 it got a lot of laughs from my friends An ad I thought was funny Mixed plate- note the macaroni salad and scoops of white rice- kinda weird if you are not Hawaiian Garlic fries and catsup. Tina Neppl used her creativity to the plate so we could share catsup A wonderful apron given to me by SANDI Henschel. We all loved this pattern. Molly made us drinks with Meyers rum, cocoanut vodka, fresh pineapple and cut up banana blended. Pretty rich... New pedicures for us girls- Tina and I opted for flowers on our toes! The beginning of my neighborhood quilt A house block that I am now done with- here it was in progress
Arriving in Maui to begin the fun! A driftwood mermaid!
Gift containers for my birthday. How lucky am I?
Above is my purchase for myself for my birthday. I love anything with seashells. Bought a seashell shower curtain and hope to get some things to add to the room for fun!
children and your friends and yes, even YOU. Life is short grow new habits, make new friends and bless someone with kindness today.
What a wonderful way to spend your Birthday and I am glad that you had such wonderful time with friends.
