Once upon a time I went to Jamaica in March for a little thing called spring break. Then I went again in August. And then again in January. No, I'm not obsessed or anything, I just kind of fell in love with the place. They food, the scenery, my god the general attitude towards life! It just amazed me, I made friends with locals who literally lived in shacks on the beach and they were such happy people. It didn't matter that their house was 3ft x 3ft, it was a home. The one thing I left knowing was that so much of their passion revolved around music. I've had such an affinity for reggae ever since my first trip there!
Of course, Mr. Marley can always put a smile on my face, even in the worst of moods. With another doctors appointment looming tomorrow morning, I've been listening to my reggae XM station : The Joint non-stop! (Not to mention, this Nickelodeon Noggin version of the video is absolutely adorable!) Just like Bob says, every little 'ting is gon' be alrite! Hope ya'll had an amazing weekend, hear's to kickin off March the right way! Since this will be my first year as a "grown up" sans spring break, I plan on ending this post with a little picture-reminiscing of sun, sand and unlimited drinks (hey, who doesn't love an all-inclusive resort!)
(I love this photo of my pal Jason - he would sell his paintings and conch shells)
(Meet my pretty friend Mandi, love her!)
(That fellow with the crazy hair was ALWAYS singing)
Ok, ok I'll spare you. I truly do love that country though, and I would KILL for some authentic jerk chicken right now.
It's another beautiful, sunny day here in Indy. I woke up in a great mood and couldn't wait to dive into this pile that I've been mulling over for the past few months. I jut couldn't decide on a pattern. This plagues me so often - I have piles of pulled fabric sitting everyone but don't dare to bring a rotary cutter to it until I decide on the perfect pattern.
So here she is... a fun lil collection of teals, greens, whites and browns. I'm planning a coin quilt of sorts, but with a little bit of a twist. More to come later! ;)
