Costa Maya Mexico

I've been asking Shawn to go to the beach in winter for as long as we've been together and he has never agreed because he was to Atlantic City over Christmas vacation when he was in school and didn't enjoy it.  Our research for this trip showed that Costa Maya had nice beaches within walking distance of the port so we decided this would be our big beach day.

 Walking through the port area we saw areas to swim with the dolphins, a Mayan pole ritual and a small bird sanctuary.




The beaches were a little further from the port than we originally thought so we took an open air trolley to the beach area and then walked through beach areas to the lighthouse and got a taxi back to the port area. We probably could have walked it with no difficulty but some areas didn't seem to have a lot of foot traffic so we decided the taxi was safer.  The water was slightly cooler than I expected but still refreshing!  






When we got back to the port area we had one final restaurant meal for local flavors, and I think this one had the best view.




The waves were really rocking the ship when we were docked and when we got back to Tampa we found out that one of the ships in port with us ended up staying in Costa Maya overnight and missing their next port of call because of the high waves.  Our last sea days were definitely rougher seas than our first several but I didn't get sea sick!  Thank goodness or I couldn't have taken that swing dance class.

Here comes the Sun

 Carol of  Just let me Quilt  had organized another great blog hop.  Our prompt this time was to create something sun related.  I went through a number of ideas, but kept coming back to the same one.  At m6 quilt retreat this spring, we had a demonstration of Dorset Buttons by a couple of the embroidery ladies.  They thought maybe we quilters could use them for embellishments and gave us each a kit to make two.  When watching the demonstration I thought watching it was mesmerizing but couldn’t see myself making them.  A couple weeks later we had a teacher wellness day and one session was an hour of doing your own crafts.  I wanted something small enough to take to work so I took my kit and realized they were fun and the small ones weren’t nearly as time consuming as I expected.  I am starting to make some into jewelry and wreaths and hoping to sell at some local craft events.   Several of my early buttons My first Dorset Button...

Wonderful World of Color

     I love it when a blog hop encourages me to finish a project I've been meaning to get to.  This one actually gave me the push for two!   Joan  challenged us to make something colorful, or something related to the world.  In March I went to a quilt retreat with my Babushka's project from Fat Cat Patterns (I'm not sure this is still listed on her site and a goal to make a quilted jacket from a sweatshirt.  Either one would fulfill this challenge and I was able to finish both.       I've thought of making a quilted jacket for a long time but the idea of following a garment pattern doesn't appeal to me.  When my friend told me she'd used a sweatshirt for hers I started looking for a button or snap closure sweatshirt at the thrift stores and lucked out just before retreat and found one for $1.  At retreat I seam ripped the arms and sides and created a flat seam to cover with crazy blocks.  I spent the ev...

Time in a Bottle

Image
 I've only recently started to enjoy making half square triangles, so when the theme for Time in a Bottle was announced I wasn't sure I'd participate.  I considered making a mug rug for game night with a hourglass applique but since the prompt specifically said the hourglass block I wasn't sure that would work.  Then when I started working on the Oh My Stars quilt I showed last month in the Tickled Pink blog hop, I realized I had a lot of bonus triangles I could use.  I have a tendency to throw those bonus triangles in my scrap bin and add them to crazy blocks but I decided I'd use them to make hourglasses this time.  By the time I trimmed them my hourglass was much smaller than I usually work with, but they weren't so bad to work with, until it came time for quilting.  Between a needle I should have replaced and a lot of joined seams the back has some areas that don't look so great-if it were something that would be seen I'd feel the need to tear it out...
