Things I ♥

I'm loving my karate champions

I'm loving a sweet little gift from my auntie

She's an "Elisa", purchased in Spain



I'm loving the smell of focaccia breads baked for a friend's Italian-flavored birthday party

clockwise: rosemary & onion, garlic & cheddar, sourdough & parmesan



I'm loving a game of "bump-out" after the party

I'm loving the fragrance of my beautiful roses as I walk through my "secret garden"


I'm loving a bride-to-be exclaiming over the gifts I brought to the shower

microwave oven mitts!

I'm especially loving my black belt!

I so ♥ it when 6'7" sensei works with his little white belt students...



Spring Cleaning Break

Just noticed I haven't posted in a week! I'm supposed to be cleaning out my sewing room, but am finding so many excuses not to... Oh well, at least my front room windows, laces & drapes are all clean! (& so is the dog, the fish tank, the bed skirt...)

I do, however, want to do the Things I'm Loving... link-up with Paisley Jade.

Today I'm loving my first rose of the year.

Loving the first jump in the pool (let-me-tell-you he jumped out twice as fast as he jumped in!)

Loving my studious son

Loving the fact that my oldest worked hard last fall to be on a football team that won the state championship. He also worked hard to earn $ to buy his ring.

What are you loving today?
