Can you guess what I am up to? Cutting, that's what. Got my instructions, my zip lock baggies for my pieces, my iced tea–I am good for a marathon cutting session. I am cutting out not one, but two kits for gorgeous Civil War quilts. I am going to be traveling next week to meet […]
Nothing major going on around here. Or maybe I am wrong and a lot of something is actually happening. I was Good Cop in my talk with Grandpa. Everyone else has been reading the poor man the riot act after his falls last week. I emphasized how he was incredibly lucky that he had not […]
Winding Ways is really coming along. I think I will make 14 more blocks so the quilt will be 7 x 7 blocks square. Most of the blocks turned out really great. Some are a little poochy in the center where all the seams come together, but those pooches pretty much press out, and once […]
Hi there. I seem to be off my posting schedule this week, due to family circumstances. Grandpa is doing ok. He is in the hospital, but they still have not been able to do his surgery because his blood levels aren't quite right yet. With any luck, the surgery will take place today. My husband […]
Well, this is a major bummer. It turns out Grandpa broke his leg. Saturday was the big day to get him moved into a little cottage near us, and when he was getting out of the moving truck, he stepped down kind of hard on his right leg, due to it being a big step […]
My Easter weekend surely was a mixed bag. On the one hand, we had glorious weather. On the other, everything that could go wrong seemed to do that. This was supposed to be the big weekend to move Grandpa into a little cottage on the nearby golf course. He got through the day just fine, […]
My mom was some kind of lamp genius. She could make a lamp out of anything, I kid you not. The lamp above was from a tea canister she picked up somewhere. She made many a lamp in her day, and as they say, they broke the mold when she passed away. Mom was unique […]
Any day now…. We are waiting… And waiting… And waiting. Go check out Sara's blog for a long awaited update and pictures of the nursery!
Doesn't this look inviting? It is a watermelon inspired quilt that I made years ago, that I rediscovered during our move. It looks great on the chaise lounge under the deck gazebo. It is such fun to make these finds and look at them with fresh eyes. I had started a post and had it […]
Just a quick post this morning, just to show you what my family is up to. Sara has three or four more weeks to go with her pregnancy! She is feeling the heat–the temperatures have been around 100 the past few days, but is keeping her feet up as much as possible. Won't be long […]
