Oh my goodness, this week has turned out to be so busy! The weather has been nice, and I have taken advantage of it to start sorting out our garage, where things seem to get out of hand fairly regularly. That is a job that can’t be done in a day, but I do try […]
Hope you all had a happy St. Patrick’s Day. My son Ahren, who actually lives in Dublin, Ireland, told me he planned to stay home today and not venture into the heart of town, due to the tourists and rowdy drinking crowds. He said he was going to walk to his neighborhood store and buy […]
We celebrated St. Patrick’s Day a bit early. My son-in-law, Ryan, invited us over to his house for Sunday dinner, and we enjoyed the usual corned beef and cabbage in honor of the holiday. I was asked to make dessert, and when I asked Eva her preference, she asked for a chocolate fudge cake. The […]
This weekend was a mixed bag. You know the old expression “You win some, you lose some”? That definitely played a part in my life over the past few days. I will start with my wins. The house cleaners came on Friday and my house looks fabulous. I put away the Valentine’s decor and brought […]
I have waited some time for this to arrive. My new sofa and reading chair! I placed the order back in October, and now, more than halfway through January, it finally arrived. I wanted something in a dark camel color that would coordinate with my rug, and I was delighted that the leather upholstery matched […]
The fourth house version in the Winter Village quilt only called for two blocks. They are essentially the same house as version three, except that they have chimneys. This took no time at all! Only one more housing development to make, and all the blocks for this quilt top will be done. Dennis is off […]
Winter Village Houses #3 are finished. Now to make Houses #4 and #5. These really take no time at all, so I know I can get them done this week before all the holiday chaos sets in. This is going to be a fun little quilt. Have you thought at all about what projects you […]
I got the binding on this adorable little quilt this weekend. I made the top in 2018 from a compilation of three Miss Rosie patterns! “Full House”, “Tiny Town”, and “In the Pink Hood”, none of which seem to be available anymore. I wish I could tell you what I did, but after 7 years, […]
The forest of trees is growing! I have finished the green trees now, and this will make Barbara happy, who said she couldn’t wrap her head around red trees! The grey ones are up next and then I will be finished with trees for a while. After the trees I need to start making various […]
It’s a dark and dreary day here, but I took pictures of my Halloween decorations anyway. I had fun this week pulling out all the goodies from the decorations cupboards out in the garage. I am so fortunate to have so much great storage space in this house. If we ever move I will have […]
