ReplyDeleteSimplify staying on a bus to day--- I will meet my girls at the end of the road.
Have a great day. I loved your new fabrics..
I could simplify my life by not committing to things that I don't have the time or energy or desire to do. I must learn how to say no and not feel guilty. Too much time is wasted doing things out of a feeling of obligation.
ReplyDeleteI also need to turn off the t.v. and learn to enjoy the solitude!
I could simplify today by staying away from the computer more and do more of the sewing and stitching that I long to have more time for. I am going to sit this giveaway out because I was the winner of last weeks. I want to thank you soooo much for the beautiful fabric that came my way. You had it packaged so cute! Again, THANK YOU!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that I used the word "more" three times in my last comment! How embarassing. That will teach me to proofread the next time.

ReplyDeleteI could simplify by spending less time worrying!

I would simplify today by just throwin' in the towel and heading back to bed! With 10 inches of snow on the ground, mounds of laundry to be folded, a Philosophy paper to be written, and quilt binding... There is too much to do. Oh, did I mention I leave for Florida in 9 hours :/
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I could possibly simplify today. Thursday are my rough day where I start classes at 9am, continue throughout the day, then go to work and not get home until about 10:30pm.
ReplyDeleteI will however try to simplify by not being so stressed out about everything I have to do; I will enjoy lunch with my friends between classes and no worry that I should be doing work instead of sitting with them.
I would simplify by taking everything one step at a time - don't jump ahead and get myself all worked up about something that may not even happen. "Just go with it"
ReplyDeleteby spending that time with God and putting my day in His hands. Yes.that would be the best solution.
ReplyDeleteI could simplify today by not starting a new project and instead finishing something already started. However, that fabby is lovely and I'd love to start a new project with it!

ReplyDeleteWell I'm still in my pjs surfing the web. I plan on making cookies today for my son's Valentine party tomorrow and that's about it. I don't think I could get much simpler ;0) I definitely can't cut out the cookie making. The joy of eating chocolate chip cookie dough??? Definitely worth it.
ReplyDeleteToday could be simplified by making dinner out of what I have in the house rather than go to the store. Love Simply Sweet and Bubblegum Basics!

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely bucket of springiness! These fabrics are so yummy and so are the bubblegum basics. Delish.

Did that make sense to anyone but me?
ReplyDeleteToday I'd like to simplify bu throwing out a bunch of toys in the playroom.

I could simplify today by getting a bit more organized.
ReplyDeleteI could simplify today by just sitting down and letting the mess build up till later in the evening after my 4 children go to bed. I'm constantly behind them picking up and tidying and do this about 10x's a day--stopping this simplifies my day at least for today :)
ReplyDeleteToday has been simplified - I declared it a sewing only day.
ReplyDeleteLeftover chili for dinner, no housework and we can eat around the mess on the dining table.
It will still be there tomorrow.
Thanks for a chance for these beautiful fabrics.
Well I don't think it would really simplify but it would make everything else simpler if I just stayed on tasked at work today.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I've spent part of this week (snow days!) making Valentine pot holders for friends :)
ReplyDeleteI've also spent some time simplifying by going through my book shelves and pulling out books I don't read to be donated to my local library. Same goes for my closet, to be donated to the Salvation Army!

ReplyDelete:)
Beverly in WA
When I put my sewing room back together after getting the new flooring in, I plan on being purposeful about what comes back in.
ReplyDeleteI am going to take a nap.
ReplyDeleteThat's an easy question. Leave all the work needed to be done and just sit by the sewing machine and sew away. Simple as it sounds, but unfortunately impossible for me today. So at least I keep dreaming. :)
ReplyDeleteHope your day will be simple.
A little organization sure could simplify my life.
ReplyDeleteI could simplify today by not trying to do everything perfectly but just do it well and move on to the next thing. Because, really, how many things on my list need to be done PERFECTLY? Not as many as I think.

ReplyDeleteOne word: spaghetti. And plenty of it. It goes well with 2 teenage boys and a binding job waiting. :)

I suppose a simple life would be boring!
