In love with blue

I've had this thing for blue lately. It's not a color I usually wear or decorate with but lately I'm drawn to it. I've been finding blues I love everywhere and obsessing about the right shades - seriously spending a lot of time thinking about it. So this weekend I decided to do something about it (or to put it more accurately I decided to get Derek to do something about it). We painted our bedroom in the most peaceful pale blue with a good dose of gray and a touch of green. I LOVE it! It looks awesome with the cobalt blue patchwork quilt I bought in Guatemala ten years ago so I will have to give that quilt the tlc it needs. I guess I'm nesting really early this time. I can't stop thinking about all the decorating I want to have done before the baby comes this winter. Or maybe it's not nesting - maybe I'm much more realistic now about how little time I'll have on my hands next year. I don't want to have unpainted windowsills driving me nuts when I won't be able to do a thing about them.

I remember when I was pregnant with Liv - pondering which hobbies I should take up to keep me entertained on my maternity leave. What a laugh! It seemed like an effort just to put a potato in the oven for my meal - crafting was out of the question. Anyhow - now I know and hopefully being really tied down and depended on won't be so hard this time around.

Look at these lovely things with their Mr. Freezy stained mouths. Scary isn't it? We don't often indulge them in pure junk .... ok maybe more than we should but hopefully not enough to hurt them. I can't imagine a life without the odd slushy or frozen popsicle.

That's all for now - I'm off to finish my new beach bag. You know I used to go to the beach with just a towel... well those days are gone. Now as we head for our favorite spot it looks like we are settlers ready to stake out our new territory. It's ridiculous the amount of stuff we take for a few hours at the beach. So a huge new beach bag was needed and will be done for tonights swim at the beach. Have a happy week everyone. Here's a song I love - I hope you enjoy it.
