Had to share this photo of my brother in law with his newborn grandson. Have you ever seen such a sweet picture? This is little Jacob, younger brother to Johnathan. My new grand nephew. Born just a few days ago. Robert, my brother in law (the little guy's grandpa), just returned from a three week […]
Just in time for Easter! My little State Fair table topper got bound and placed on my dining table. I love the spring color palette, and will be enjoying this one for many months to come. My dining table did not see any Easter action this year. We gathered at my dad's house, 18 of […]
Just what was needed. A break from 36 degree mornings and constant rain. It is beautiful here in Palm Desert, and I wish we could stay two weeks rather than one! Look how considerate the clouds are: they stay politely back behind the mountain range and don't interfere with the sunshine. It can be cool […]
I can't even tell you the hours Eva and I spent making these little charms. Two days at least. I am not sure how we got the idea that we wanted to make little polymer clay charms, but YouTube videos by a sweet Australian girl named Creative Rachy factored into it big time. […]
Well, we did it again. We held our family's 29th Annual Halloween Party this past Saturday. Next year is the Big 30th, so we will have to be sure and go all out. The costumes this year were pretty darn clever, as usual. That is my sister Andrea as Esmerelda the Fortune Teller. I'm not […]
We got some bad news yesterday that has been partially taken back today. That is Eva getting a smooch on the cheek from our Remy. (She was eating a cupcake and he had designs on those crumbs on her lips). Poor little guy has been limping lately, and his right thigh muscles have gotten […]
I still don't have a sewing related post due to traveling out of town for my doctor appointments Monday and Tuesday, but I thought you might enjoy the link to this post. If you haven't checked out my sister Andrea's blog Under a Blue Moon, and love cats, you had better go on over there […]
I'm back from my trip to Ireland, and yes, it really does look like the photo above! We had a wonderful time visiting our son and feel even stronger that we would love to have property in Ireland to live in for at least part of the year. We came home to a horrendous heat […]
Paddle Boats from "Best of Black Mountain", a Teri Christopherson pattern circa 2002. My six year old grand daughter is holding up this little quilt while I take a picture. She is holding a big piece of French bread in her mouth , which you cannot see, but she had to do something with it […]
I have a funny story to share. While my husband was having his surgery last week, I stayed with my father in the Bay Area. He is an avid reader and consistently gets new books from the family on every possible gift giving occasion. He ran out of space on his ample bookshelves some […]
