Walk on the Wild Side or ?

Today I kept hearing  it was National Sibling Day!  

But actually that was yesterdays news.

 I went on line and discovered I could download 

an app on my phone (checkiday).   I was curious 

to see what I could celebrate tomorrow,  

April 12, 2014! This is what I found.

     Big Wind Day  -  On April 12, 1934, it was recorded 

to be the highest wind speed in the whole

world.  Mount Washington Observatory 

 made this recording of 231 miles per

   hour.  Pretty crazy!!!

        

      Drop Everything and Read Day  - best know as D.E.A.R! 

                  This   day was created to honor Beverly 

               Cleary's birthday who wrote, Ramona Quimby, 

Age 8. You can read more about it

      National Grilled Cheese  Sandwich Day  -  I love 

grilled cheese sandwiches!! I can honestly say

 I'll be making and eating myself a

 Grilled Cheese Sandwich!  Check out 

      Beverly's Blog at A Night Owl  she has 25 

amazing recipes for grill cheese!

      National Licorice Day -  From what I've been

 reading on line, true licorice is black.  Red and 

     any other color is not true licorice! 

      Russian Cosmonaut Day  -  This day celebrates 

the first human in space made in 1961 by

       Russian Yuri Gagarin.  Read more 

here-Nasa Mission

         

                          

      Walk on Your Wild Side Day -  I don't know how 

this day came to be but I like it! I'll have to 

   sleep on this one!  Have any ideas, please share!

What's your favorite grilled cheese?  How will

you celebrate your wild side? 

Signed Wedding Quilt

On February 8th of this year, I finally finished our #wedding #quilt!  It has been two years!

Our anniversary was February 12th!  

Instead of a guest book, my husband and I decided we would love every one of our guest, friends and family, to sign a square of fabric!  Well, we couldn't be  happier to keep them all near to our hearts. This quilt represents all the love we felt on that day!!!  My husband and I would like to thank all our guest for being a part of our day!

My girlfriend, Ursula, prepared the fabric by first pre washing it.  Next, she pressed the fabric and pressed a light fabric stabilizer to the wrong side of the fabric. 

This makes it easy to write on.  I purchased fabric markers in different colors.  Each guest wrote on a square.  Later, I pressed each signed block, just to lock in the ink.

#Happy Anniversary to my husband and I!
