My husband said I should wait until September 1st, but I couldn't wait. As far as the weather is concerned, there is no sign of fall's arrival whatsoever. Our temperatures are still around 100 every day. Changing out some of my decor makes me hope for cooler days ahead! An update on my recent complaint […]
Happy August! I thought it was time for another What I've Been Loving post, since the last one I did was back in May. The items I will tell you about are all over the map this time. Pour yourself a cup of tea or coffee and settle in for a chat! Corn Salad. Oh […]
Time for a little progress update. I have been doing things, I swear. I got this last minute little table runner on the table on July 4. Actually, I have had it a couple of weeks but only finished the binding on Wednesday. I love the little stars and swirl quilting design. You can see […]
Those of you who have been following me for a while know that this is my favorite spot in the house. My reading chair in our front room/library. That chair technically isn't even mine. We bought it for our son Ahren when he was in graduate school down at Cal Poly. He calls it his […]
Hello there. Thanks for your positive comments about me doing a monthly favorites post. I think that should be fun. We are home from our vacation to Lake Tahoe, and our son Ahren is on his way home to Dublin. I wasn't so sad saying goodbye to him this time because I know we will […]
Just in time for Easter! My little State Fair table topper got bound and placed on my dining table. I love the spring color palette, and will be enjoying this one for many months to come. My dining table did not see any Easter action this year. We gathered at my dad's house, 18 of […]
My little Pinwheel Puzzle quilt is finished. I think I will put this one on the coffee table in my living room for a more toned down St. Patrick's Day accent. In fact, I could live with these colors all year long in my house. The pattern is an old one by Teri Atkinson, and […]
I have a new ironing station! I shamelessly copied an Instagram photo Thelma (Cupcakes 'n' Daisies) shared last week. I dragged my husband to Lowes and we easily found what we needed to create this ironing board and storage shelf. The entire project took less than a couple of hours to complete, believe it or […]
There is no sewing going on around here this week, so I thought I would share with you some other things I have been enjoying lately. First up is a nice hot cup of tea in the afternoon. I have a very pretty little Wedgwood tea pot and matching cup that I so enjoy using. […]
Well, this has sure been a wasted week. I came down with the flu on Sunday night and have spent the week in bed, each day with a new horror of a symptom. Laryngitis on Monday, faucet nose on Tuesday, fever and chills on Wednesday, and a ruptured eardrum on Thursday. I took myself to […]
