Dream Pillow # 14

snuugle-flanel

This 100 % cotton fabric pillow is 16×16 in size and has a zipper for easy removal. Fifty percent of all sales will be donated to the Aplastic Anemia & MDS International Foundation in loving memory of my brother Americo Palladino. The goal is to raise $2900.

The Love Story Continues…Friday: Have you ever eaten so much that your stomach looks like it is three months pregnant? I stood in Joel’s bathroom and was caught off guard by how huge my belly looked this morning. I was bloated from days of feasting and I had yet another dinner planned for this evening that included John. I had to get over this quickly so that I could fit into my cute dress. This Girl was in need of a remedy STAT!

I quickly bolted to Joel’s kitchen to whip together an old family remedy to get myself back to normal. I took a lemon, boiled some water, found some honey, a little cayenne pepper and some fresh ginger….Mixed them all together to make the perfect witches brew. For as much as I love to eat, I have always had an unhappy stomach and digestive tract so my mom used to come up with concoctions that she would get from health books to ease my pains. Down the hatch! Read more»

brownThe Love story continues…Chasing sunsets can be very inspiring. The sun setting has a whole energy of its own. Like a powerful meditation that ends with a burst of light before a new breath turns into a deep sigh. It is the fast approaching end of a day and the reminder of the gift that a new Beginning awaits.

John and I chased the sunset up to the highest peak of the mountain to make sure the crew that was following behind us would have a great shot before it set. Once we found the perfect spot, we got out and walked to the peak where the sun looked bigger than I have ever seen it. The color of the sky was full of the most amazing hues. Read more»

The love story continues: I have a serious issue with my feet. I can’t stand them and don’t enjoy it when people look at my feet. To my horror, after Joel pulled John and I from the PGA event to join the crew, I started a conversation with one of the tour executives and while we were talking the executive looked down and said, “Wow, you must have some really cute feet, because you are so tall.” Immediately the entire crew, John, Jan and Joel all stopped talking to look at my feet. “OMG!” It was like standing naked in a spotlight in front of strangers. I wanted to find a way to hide them immediately, but no such luck. Read more»

The love story continues:There are a few things a man has to have to attract me to him and ask anyone that knows me-it is not the material things in life. Although, there is nothing wrong with that according to my high school volleyball coach who once told me, “It is just as easy to fall in love with a rich man as it is a poor one.” For me a few key things that a man has to have are great hands, beautiful eyes and a compassionate being. So when John handed me the grape from the vine, I paid special attention and his hands are perfect. So he had already won me over with his eyes and the only thing remaining from my list was the compassion. Is he compassionate, time would tell? Read more»

Dream Pillow # 3

Dream Pillow #3

This pillow was inspired by my sister-in-law’s cousin Cindy. She said I should make a pillow with a little bling. It was a little more challenging because the fabric itself is corduroy and the Rhinestone was extremely delicate to glue on. Lesson: Small rhinestone and long fingers do not necessary get along. So for all the Diva’s out there…This one is for you! If you are interested in helping our wedding dream come true the donation for Dream Pillow #3 is $25 plus shipping. The pillow measures 16X16, the material is corduroy and has the word DIVA spelled out in Rhinestones. Thank you for supporting our dream!

Love story continues… Today was the busiest day so far at Jan’s because everyone was finalizing details for the trip to Sonoma. Joel was confirming the locations for the different shoots and putting together the call-times for the crews. John was running in three different directions, Jan was like the conductor at the symphony making all the different instruments play the same tune. I just sat there observing, taking it all in.
