{Virtual Coffee}

Tuesday, October 5, 2010


It's Tuesday morning. 
You know what that means.
Time for coffee.


If we were really meeting for coffee this morning...

I would come in wearing a jacket, boots and a little scarf. Ahh... finally.
It's chilly this morning and I had to slip right into my robe and slippers when I got out of bed.
The coffee definitely tastes better on a chilly morning though, huh?


I would tell you that we have one Birthday down, one to go. Whew.
We are celebrating them right in the middle
 of W & C's birthdays, so their party will be this weekend.



I would tell you that I need to get a babysitter one day this week so I can get a few things done
without Charlotte. I can't do any kind of Birthday shopping for her while she is with me...
and she is always with me.


If we were really meeting for coffee today I would tell you that there was a children's-size
school library table delivered to my house yesterday. It is sitting in my living room
and right about now I am wondering what in the hell I was thinking.
I don't really even have a spot for it. 
Ooops.


I made these delicious pumpkin bars over the weekend when we celebrated my parent's Birthdays.
The recipe is easy and they were oh-so-good.  I really hate taking dessert to something when it is something I have never made before but they were a big hit.
A perfect Fall dessert. Yum.
I would consider them to be more cake-like as opposed to a bar...
but seriously delish.


I went to a new fabric store ever last week, it's about a 1/2 hour away from home and the cute-ness there was just ridiculous. It really made me wish that I knew how to make quilts
...and clothes...and so much more.


Thanks for joining me for coffee today.
Coffee is always better with the girls, huh?
Well, my girl and I have some errands to run today so we are heading out...
Happy Tuesday everyone!

  11. I love your photos! and I wish I knew how to make quilts too. I even bought a sewing machine for that very purpose...Thanks for hosting! What a great idea. :)

  12. We were in a yarn store today and it seriously made me want to learn how to knit - just like in your fabric store how you wanted to do fabric'ish things :) I wish I had my camera in the fabric store... the colors!

    I love that you opened up Virtual Coffee to a link up. Really :) I look forward to it every week, and love reading all the posts! Thank you!

  13. I feel the same way about sewing! I love fabric so much and I buy it all the time...but I'm not great about getting out my sewing machine. Oh well...one of these days, right?!

  14. That fabric is cuteness to the tenth power.

    I enjoy making quilts...and I've come to the realization that I don't enjoy sewing clothes. I like the idea of sewing clothes...and I like the end result...but the process isn't one of my favorite things to do. It's not relaxing.

  16. I hear you on needing a babysitter to get gift shopping done. I lost out on a great price on a Life game b/c the ballerinas were in tow.

    And I am currently addicted to fabric. I go through stages. Right now it's a fabric stage. Am trying my hand at making little wallets and zipper pouches. We shall see...

    And, as always your pictures are simply gorgeous.
