Friday, December 4, 2009. Christmas Shopping on Kauai. I just love visiting your blogs and seeing all the Christmas decorations where you live! So I thought you might like to see some from my corner of the world. I took these pictures when Clayton and I did a little Christmas shopping last week. Enjoy! Ukuleles, gourds, and other hula implements decorate the above tree. Can you see them? Below, Hawaiian quilt motifs are embedded in the garlands. Not really a Winter Wonderland.but at least it's warm.

Tuesday, June 2, 2009. May was spectacularly busy for my family and I. I hope June eases up a bit! I haven't had much time for crafting, but I did want to pop in and say hello. I finished a scarf:. This is the "Spring Ripple Scarf," and it's crocheted with Noro Sock Yarn. Sure is colorful, eh? Springy. I'm not exactly sure if I'll ever wear it.actually.with those colors, I think it would wear me. But working on it was fun and it looks pretty hanging in my closet. Was that she wanted to learn how to knit.

Thursday, November 12, 2009. Lightning Storm on its Way! It's 9:52 on Thursday night and I'm just about to turn off my computer and enjoy our first lightning and thunderstorm of the season. See those little yellow and red dots between Kauai (second island on the left) and Oahu? On the radar loop, they're coming this way, bringing lots of light and noise. Oh, how I LOVE thunder and lightning! So much drama.so much power! November 12, 2009 at 10:35 PM. November 13, 2009 at 1:04 AM. Thanks for the update, m...

Dorky Homemade Quilts: A Nine Patch Mystery
http://lisaboyer.blogspot.com/2009/11/nine-patch-mystery.html
Thursday, November 19, 2009. A Nine Patch Mystery. I wish I'd taken more pictures of this little quilt before I donated it. I didn't like it very much at the time, but now that it's gone, I'm liking it much better! I was inspired by a book I saw at Border's. A full-sized quilt that looked very much like this one was on the cover. I thought about the book for a couple of days, went back to purchase it, but it was gone. I didn't even get the author's name or the name of the book! I think, all in all, vacat...

Dorky Homemade Quilts: My FAVORITE Hawaiian Song EVER
http://lisaboyer.blogspot.com/2009/11/my-favorite-hawaiian-song-ever.html
Monday, November 23, 2009. My FAVORITE Hawaiian Song EVER. I've been meaning to post this for a while now- my favorite Hawaiian song EVER. Truth be told, I'm not a huge fan of Hawaiian music, but this song gives me goosebumps every time. The song was written by a woman and the words have something to do with the beauty of ocean life. I was very happy to find an accompanying video on You Tube! I think the song and the video are very beautiful. Enjoy! November 23, 2009 at 6:46 PM. My husband and I were mar...

Dorky Homemade Quilts: Goodbye Ol' Girl
http://lisaboyer.blogspot.com/2009/11/goodbye-ol-girl.html
Friday, November 20, 2009. This is not good. These are computer guts. Although I certainly marvel at the complexity of their anatomy and appreciate all they do, I can't say that I'm ever happy to see them. After several grueling hours, I did finish this nearly impossible task. And I do have to say that to my credit, mine looked a whole lot better inside than when I took it apart! So why this topic today? WellI couldn't stand to talk about it before now, but my beloved computer's guts were a part of my po...
