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 […]
Hi there. I sure do time my vacations well. You wouldn't believe the hoops I had to jump through to get four days off work so I could stay home and sew. Didn't happen. The sewing that is. Oh, I stayed home all right. In my bed! This was the cold virus of all cold […]
We had quite enough drama for our Christmas, thank you very much. On Christmas Eve, our personal Santa (my DH) fell down and hit his head on a table and had to go to the hospital for stitches. He is OK now, but it was very chaotic for awhile there. You see, my daughter and […]
In the name of all of us who left things until the last minute, I would like to say "Thank God for Amazon.com". Don't know exactly how it happened, but Christmas kind of snuck up on me this year. The shopping part anyway. I am happy to say however, that the shopping got done in […]
I forgot to show you a picture of The Bowl. I stopped at Pottery Barn on the way home from work yesterday and picked up some do dads to put in it. I love the simplicity and shape of this bowl so much. Seriously, this bowl must weigh over five pounds! And Mary Ann carried […]
This may be my simplest Christmas quilt, but it is the one I would grab if the house was on fire. The pattern is common as dirt and the fabrics are just all the Christmas fabrics that were available at the time I made the quilt top–about ten years ago. At the time I made […]
I had a little accident yesterday. I was drinking my morning coffee while I read my email and somehow managed to knock my cup over and spill coffee all over my laptop keyboard. Ooops. It started making a terrible crackling noise and then… No, it didn't burst into flames like the one in the picture above, but […]
My sister Andrea had a great picture on her blog post today. October Gave A Party was the title of her blog post. It's the first line in a poem by George Cooper called "October's Party". It's October people! How the heck did that happen, I ask you? Sheesh. The picture in Andrea's post is […]
