I Love Thursday #53

This is our 53rd post of things we love for the week.  We post these loves each Thursday along with LeeAnna on her blog at Not Afraid of Color.  Several additional friends also share on a weekly basis – be sure to check them out.  You will surely find something to inspire you.

Love #1

James Bond and fabric.  What a great combination, for us anyway.  We love to watch James Bond movies especially while sewing.  Although sometimes it does cause large breaks and no sewing to happen because it’s a not-to-be-missed scene.  Dione at Clever Chameleon sent me this photo, and I just had to share it.  I say okay, anytime James!

 Love #2

Zodiac Mantra!  Jocelyn shared her mantra and the link on her blog last week, and I thought I should look up Sue’s and mine.  Sue is a Gemini, and her little blurb said:  “Hit the Pause Button – Depending on the day, Gemini can be charming and adventurous, or restless and distracted. A useful way to find a balance between these states is to repeat a mantra that will be centering and grounding, prompting you take a moment to connect to your true feelings, Edut says.” 

I am a Scorpio and my mantra is Don’t Hide:  “All hail the passion, loyalty and bravery of Scorpio—that is, until jealousy or manipulation rears its head. This intense sign can be inclined to feelings of paranoia and could be intimidating, so Edut’s advice is to call on a mantra that stresses transparency and allows others to see the part of you that might be sensitive.”  Hmmm.

Love #3

Highchair!  We had a new arrival at our house last week.  It actually was sent to Dominic’s attention at our home.  It’s this sweet little highchair.  He would frequently eat over at our house, but wasn’t focused on eating because there are so many other things to be busy with.  Now, he will know it’s time to eat and then we can play.  He just needs to come over! (hint, hint Andrea and Chris!)

Love #4

Dominic had a very busy week, as usual.  First, he was ready to cheer on the Cubs to win their Division.  That same night he was visiting us before dad was finished with work.  I brought home a paper box from work, so we enjoyed a baby-in-a-box.  He warms our hearts.  ♥ ♥

Then mom decided to have him try on his Halloween costume. 

Doesn’t he look a little forlorn in this cute outfit?  It’s a size 3T, and it might be just hair too big.  Those little fingers and his sock peeking out.  Adorbs.

That’s it for this week!  We hope your week is filled with many blessings.  Happy Thursday!  See you next week with more loves.  Our Linky Parties can be found by clicking the link for more quilting fun or in the sidebar of our website – check out what our friends are up to.  Like/follow us on our Facebook page and share your likes/loves there!  We love to see them.  ~smile~
