RAIN! It sure would be nice to be able to actually use this gas grill. I am telling you, Friends, it is wet where I live. Well, at least the grass is green. If it ever stops raining, I will replant those clay pots with summer annuals. Good sewing weather though. And I have some […]
I don't have a lot to show for my weekend, unfortunately. We put our house back on the market and had agents wanting to bring their clients through. This of course, is a good thing, but I wasn't quite ready for them. I had about two and a half hours to put the house to rights before […]
Would you like to take a walk with Ozzie and I, through the neighborhood? Come on, it's a great day, let's go. This is Ozzie in his new lead. Ozzie is a bad walker. He likes to pull and tug and choke himself half to death when he is on a normal collar style leash. […]
I do not even know where to start, Monday was such a big day! I had the day off and drove up to Sunnyvale, where I used to meet regularly with a group of lovely women for a sewing get together we called the UFO (Unfinished Objects). I really need to do that more often. […]
No sewing going on even though I did have a day off. I spent it having beauty treatments. Very Essential Beauty Treatments. I told my husband that I had gone to Monterey to visit my hair dresser to have my hair colored. "But it doesn't look any different", he said when I came home. Well, my dear, […]
I don't know about you, but for me, the week between Christmas and New Years is kind of lazy. I've been sitting around reading on my new Kindle a good deal of the time, trying to ignore Ozzie sitting on my head. Gosh, am I having fun with that device! There are so many books […]
Merry Christmas everyone! Thank you all for your support and friendship this year! I hope you have a safe and enjoyable holiday and a healthy and prosperous New Year. Here is a toast to you all for a year full of wonderful quilting projects!
Good gravy, is this dog getting on my last nerve or what? I've just been so busy lately, with the shopping, wrapping, decorating, sewing, that I haven't been able to devote my usual amount of time to Ozzie. He wants my attention and he wants it NOW. His usual method of getting me to focus […]
Ah, that's more like it. I spent half a day re-doing my Christmas decorations and feel like the place is coming together at last. The picture above is my living room mantel re-done. I love it. So much more Me. The picture below was my first effort. Now, that was just pitiful. What was I thinking? […]
My usual style of decorating for the holidays is pretty over the top. This year I decided to scale way back, and I am having second thoughts. The photo above is my effort for this year. Blah. Tasteful maybe, but boring and well, small. This was my mantel for 2008. I think it is much […]
About Me
Hello, I’m Nicole, an enthusiastic quilter and fabric lover. This blog is mainly about my quilting journey, but I share some of my other interests as well, which include reading, cooking, decorating, lifestyle, and my family. When I am not quilting, I am reading, and will share monthly book reviews in this space. I love to hear back from my followers and enjoy getting to know you.
