I made another little green table topper with my leftover green scraps. I just couldn't let them go to waste. The one pictured above is called "Mite", a Miss Rosie "Little Bites" pattern. It measures just around 24 inches, a good size for the center of my dining table. The one I made for Sara […]
Well, this week sure did get away from me! I did have most of the day on Thursday to sew, and decided to make a March table topper for Sara. I have made this Roundabout Schnibble by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. previously and have enjoyed it in my home. I thought Sara would like one […]
Here's my sweet girl, making a heart with her hands and wishing everyone a happy Valentine's Day. We spent the day together yesterday, as her school is the only district in America which still has Lincoln AND Washington's birthdays off. We had fun, going to Target, Ulta and Red Robin for lunch. Who knows, maybe […]
I got a new sewing light for Christmas! It is an Ott Light, with a magnifier feature. The lighting for taking pictures has been dismal with all the rain we have been getting, but I think you can make it out in the photo above. It has a gazillion little L.E.D. lights that illuminate my […]
Eva decorated two gigantic gingerbread cookies this week. She spent an hour placing the frosting and decorations on them. When she finished, she declared "They are Nana and Denny". That would be Denny on the left, and Nana on the right. We have been Gingerbreadized. One last quilt to share with you. I am giving […]
Ozzie loves a Christmas quilt. I caught him napping on my favorite chair in the library, with his whiskers all askew. He doesn't look the slightest bit guilty, just sleepy and a bit rumpled. I wish I had time to take a snooze in my favorite chair with my current favorite Christmas quilt. But I […]
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Ours was quiet, but just right. I did get together with the entire mob of my family on Sunday for the occasion of my dad's 91st birthday. Gosh, can you imagine? He is such a wonderful man, and I am so grateful that he has lived a full […]
I feel pretty good about my use of time on my day off yesterday. I got almost all the bindings attached to my Christmas gift quilts. This landing area upstairs outside my sewing room is my staging area for quilts waiting for the binding to be hand sewn down. And Lord love me, do I ever […]
With this wedding coming up on Saturday, I have brought out the Killer Shoes. The ones I haven't worn since we moved out here to the country over five years ago. Believe it or not, they are soft as butter and quite comfortable for high heels. Those are my fancy earrings and cocktail ring next […]
Hi there. I just had to get another post in this week, even if it isn't sewing related. I hope you all are having a splendid week. Mine is flying by, but I am enjoying my fall decorations and the rather dramatic change in the weather we have had. I thought I would just take […]
