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 […]
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 […]
