2013 AQS Quilt Week

My daughter and I went to our very first Quilt Festival last October.  Got off work on Friday night and drove to Des Moines, IA, only a short 3 hour drive away from our home.  We had a blast singing on the way up in the car, my radio wasn't working so we just made our own music.  Good thing my daughter knows the lyrics to almost every song I threw at her! Stayed downtown at the Marriott, only a few blocks from the Iowa Events Center. 

Took tons of pictures!  Click to view over 200 photos uploaded to my Flickr album.  Sorry they aren't the best quality, only have the camera on my phone.  Each picture should have a snapshot before or after it of the card displaying the name of the quilt and who quilted it.

Day 26 of 365 Days of Fitness Blogging

Woke up super early this morning, well for a Saturday anyway.  Needed to drive my daughter to work.  It is nice getting up early on the weekends, you get so much more accomplished.  Even my hubby got up early with me.  Had some training webinars that I had been wanting to take and I was able to complete them

Worked out at Aspens today.  Forgot my ear phones and had to keep pushing myself to go harder and longer.  Listening to pumped up music really helps to give you that extra boost during your workouts. 

Me on my way to the gym.

 

After I got home and showered I took a nap on the couch.  Was really tired and needed the extra sleep.  When I was at the gym I noticed while working out that my chest sounded congested when I breathed, you know that deep rattly sound.  And now my nose is running.  Hoping it doesn't turn in to anything worse as I have nursery duty tomorrow night at church. 

 

Last night I participated in "Friday Night Sew-In".  Spent hours sewing last night and really enjoyed myself.  Definitely need to make more time for the things I enjoy.  If you want to see pictures and read about my FNSI results head over to Homemade Gone Wild. 



Day 14 of 365 - What do you want!

Day 14 of 365 Fitness Blogging- What do you want!

I was turned on to a great video today.  This guy has got it!  If you watch this and don't feel his passion, check your pulse you might be dead.  He has some "homework" at the end of the video, I challenge you to do it.  Ask yourself, what do you want. 

 

 

On a personal note, today I received a great suprise in the mail from Quiltmaker's Magazine.  5 packs of fabric, 2 Quiltmaker Magazines, one being my favorite 100 block issue.  Yes, I am a geek for all things quilting.  I'm in love!

 

 

Today was a rest day.  A well earned rest day. :)
