I still don't have a sewing related post due to traveling out of town for my doctor appointments Monday and Tuesday, but I thought you might enjoy the link to this post. If you haven't checked out my sister Andrea's blog Under a Blue Moon, and love cats, you had better go on over there […]
With the 100+ degree weather we have been having, it is rather difficult to pretend that we are approaching Fall. But I am trying. I got out a fall table topper and placed a cheery bouquet of yellow roses in the middle. If it cools off this week, I will see about bringing out some […]
Hey there. Sorry I disappeared for a week! I have been playing nurse to my husband, who had total knee replacement surgery. It was a long time coming, and we are so glad he finally bit the bullet and did it. His surgery took place down in the Bay Area, so I stayed down there […]
I had a birthday recently, and got some gift certificates to Fat Quarter Shop and to Amazon. I have an Amazon wish list four pages long, so I have been ordering some books that I have been wanting. I redeemed some of my gift cards for four quilting books, all of which look super good. […]
I thought I would share a few things I have been enjoying lately that are quilting related. Just this week I found the organizer box above at Home Goods. The box is solid wood, and is divided into five compartments-two wide and three small. This box is meant to be a desk organizer but I […]
Two weeks ago my husband and I put in our little vegetable and herb garden. In the desolate wasteland you see in the photo above, we had eggplants, several types of peppers, tomatoes, a couple of squash, and a lovely assortment of herbs. We were so proud. We were watering it lightly a couple of […]
Hope you all had a fabulous Mother's Day. Funny, I never expect much from Mother's Day, and am always surprised, humbled and grateful for the attention I receive from my wonderful children. My son Ahren, who lives in Ireland, sent me a fabulous paperweight made by an artist named John Deacons from Scotland. I think […]
Obviously I am kidding. I admire the gals who can pare their entire seasonal wardrobe down to ten key items, but that gal isn't me. I did reorganize my closet this week, and that is it in the photo above. My half of the closet anyway. I know we are super fortunate to have so […]
I thought I'd better check in so nobody gets worried about me. If I miss too many posts I get concerned emails from folks wondering if I am still alive. I had a busy and fairly productive weekend, but not much of it involved sewing. On Saturday, my husband and I decided to check out […]
You know how we all have our little eccentricities? And sometimes the people we love are a little bit nuts in some areas, but we turn a blind eye? Well, let me tell you about my husband. He is super generous, and has many many wonderful qualities. But he is a little bit crazy […]
About Me
Hello, I’m Nicole, an enthusiastic quilter and fabric lover.
