Fabric Flower Headband
I made this yesterday messing around with fabric flowers. I needed to figure it out for another project that is in the works.
Back in Okinawa
I know it has been a terribly long time since I've updated this, and I'm not quite sure if anyone still reads it.... but if you are reading this, here is an update.
Carrick and I are back in Okinawa after visiting family in Iowa. We had a great time and it was nice to see everyone and recharge. I must admit it was nice being away from the military. I have forgotten my ID card three times since we've been back because I was out of the swing of always having it on me and showing it everywhere I went. Last night we were reminded of some new rules and how living here means giving up some personal liberties. One of our friends was married yesterday, and we wanted to go out and celebrate. We were cut short by a new order requiring us to be out of clubs and bars at midnight. It is a give and take though. We are lucky to get the experience to live in a foreign country and we take the good with the bad.
We are looking forward to the next step in Carrick's career and excited to see where that takes us. He will be getting a new job in the Marine Corps soon and that may mean a location change in the next 6 months or so. As always I'm just along for the ride. I have been very fortunate to find an online college that is perfect for our transient lifestyle, and how to be finished with a teaching degree in two years.

Around the Farm
Messing with the settings on my camera, and taking in the beauty that is the country side that I've been missing!

Rainy Days
The rainy season has officially started. It has been raining for three days now, and will probably continue for the next week. I don't mind it though, I like rainy days, especially when I can curl up on the couch with a movie. Rain always makes me want to have soup too. I think I'm going to make some cheesy potato soup today.
I've completed the quilt I was working on in the last post, and another patchwork pillow project. Yoshi finally got a hair cut too. He's been acting even more crazy since we brought him home from the groomers... jumping everywhere and being hyper. We're not sure if they gave him something, or maybe his sanity is contained in his hair, and now it's all gone. Perhaps he's just excited that he can see the world again as his hair is no longer in his eyes all the time.

I should be doing math...
...but I'm working on this instead. It's much more fun, and Yoshi can help!
