The gardeners are here! I expect that there will be much lopping, trimming, pulling, and piling going on in my yard the next few days. They didn't really show up each with their very own wheel barrow, but I loved that picture above. The barrows look like they are in a confab just before they […]
Have you heard about OXO Good Grips Pop storage containers? If you have a pantry to organize, you might want to check them out. They are air tight, stackable and extremely space efficient. Not cheap, but if you pick up a couple each week, before you know it, your pantry will look wonderful. I love the […]
I didn't get to post early this morning as I usually do. Two issues were behind the situation. One, I didn't have much of interest to share, and two, Sophie and I took a nap when I got home from work yesterday afternoon. Typically I will compose a post or two a day or so […]
I know this is supposed to be a quilting blog for the most part, but it is also a journal of what is going on in my life. Right now, what is going on in my life is some labor intensive stunt sewing, and some redecorating of my house. I can't share any pics of […]
I had to share my daffodil bouquet with you all. It was my Springtime treat for myself. The weather has been so lovely this week, that I decided to bring out even more Easter decorations, including my Suicide Bomber Bunny. That is what Dad called him when he saw him. Honestly. My decorations don't get […]
I ask you, how many pairs of jeans does one woman need? I've been spring cleaning my closets this week, and have decided that I have been hanging on to too many pairs of jeans. Face it, the size 8s probably are not going to fit me again in this lifetime. They only fit for […]
It's Spring at my house. I know we have three more weeks until it is official, but I am ignoring that measly fact. Time to change out the couch pillows for the season! This is Pottery Barn's Spring offering, which works very well for me. They also have an adorable print with birds on it, […]
I don't know what is up with me this week. I feel so lazy it is embarrassing. Go to work? I don't wanna. Sew? I don't wanna. Read a book? Maybe, if I can lie down and prop it up on a pillow. And maybe have someone turn the pages for me. Maybe I have […]
Thanks so much for your good wishes in regard to my eye issues. I think I am getting better. The eye is better, but the swelling has moved down my face so now I look like a big red pumpkin. Lovely. Beverly in WA had a question for me. She asked if the plastic storage […]
Hello. Welcome to my bathroom. I just got a new beauty product I must share with you. In downtown Carmel, there is a beauty boutique (selling mainly bath products) called Lush. (You don't have to actually go there, there is a website). Lush has made a name for itself as a company that only […]
