Did you all have a nice weekend? Hope so! The weather was spring like here, and we all gathered at my Dad's house for Easter Brunch. Gosh what a fun event that is. Everybody shares their signature brunch dish and we eat like kings. My nephew (whose wife is expecting the baby) made the salad […]
I mentioned that I have been in a bit of a slump, sewing-wise. I have just not felt inspired by much of anything lately. I have definitely been bored by a couple of the projects I have worked on recently. Log Cabins are cool, but not terribly interesting to work on, I have decided. Maybe […]
Lawrence L. ReedNovember 4, 1921-January 30, 2016 My sweet father in law passed away in his sleep this weekend. You all remember him as Grandpa Larry. We moved him up to live near us when his wife passed away nearly five years ago, and we were so fortunate to have him close by. As his […]
I thought I would share something non-sewing related with you all. We live in an area where there are not a lot of educational or cultural resources. Besides running around outside that is. My grand daughter does go to preschool, but I often wonder about the quality of the activities that are offered. Their strength […]
This is a little spring table topper for my son in law. He seems to be getting a lot of goodies from me lately, but he deserves it, so that's ok. One of his wines just won a gold medal in our local county judging and I am pretty excited for him. He is a […]
I told you I would share a photo of the patio cushions in their new location. My son in law is very happy with the look of his back deck now. You can just see it at the top of the photo—he has put up a triangular shaped blue canvas cover over the deck, which […]
As you can see I am making good progress on my Rhubarb Whirl blocks. More on that later. No, I didn't lose my mind and start making light blue pinwheels to go with it. The blue pinwheels are blocks from a project Sara started a year or so ago. A dear friend of hers is […]
We had a major crisis Wednesday. Eva's preschool has had four really good teachers leave within the past six weeks or so. As a former preschool teacher and director, this raised a major red flag for me. So, I picked up the phone and asked to speak to the director. I didn't want to […]
I found myself in JoAnn's Fabrics yesterday. My mission was to pick up some zippers to make a Sew Together Bag. Then, I started thinking. Hmmm, the family Halloween party is this Saturday, and I am planning to take Eva with me. This is a child who has six princess costumes, and it seemed […]
It is fall, Eva needed a new placemat, so here we are. I made it with a charm pack of Hello Fall (by Sandy Gervais for Moda) in no time flat. I pretty much made it up as I went along. Cut 2 1/2 inch squares to sew on the corners of four charm squares […]
