This was the most magical, memorable, amazing Christmas ever. The festivities began Christmas Eve, when my daughter Sara gave me a little present. A little set of nesting dolls. Oh, but look! There is a note inside! What does it say? Keep going…. There is another note! What? What? Last one… No one has […]
OK, you ask, what the heck is THAT? That, my friends, is a LUSH Emotibomb. For when you have partied to hearty and need to wake up and rejoin the living, as in *today*. This Morning. An "emotibomb" is something that you put on the floor of your shower, turn on the water to […]
I'd like to introduce you to Meriwether Lewis, my daughter Sara's new kitten. She adopted him from the Humane Society last week, and I have been getting acquainted with him while visiting her home for a few days. Lewis is an intrepid explorer, just as his namesake was. At any given moment he is cavorting […]
Good morning Friends. I spent the weekend working, so I don't have a lot of news to share. OK, here's something. This is Remy, my grand dog. My daughter Sara knows how much Rem loves to hang out of the car window when he is a passenger. She loves her pup, and surely would not […]
I would have prefered diamonds, but this is pretty good too… The Wine Maker finished putting my composter together, and it really doesn't make for exciting photography. However, it does make great dirt in 4 to 6 weeks. What's the point you ask? Well, compost creates a food source for a selection of life that […]
Oh hello… Long time no see! Guest Blogger Sara here! The above shot is of mom's completed cushion redesign for the patio set she gifted me. A gorgeous toile complete with red stripe and button. A project like this would have really overwhelmed me, but she whipped this together in a mater of hours. She […]
I realize that it is St. Patrick's Day, not St. Valentine's Day, but I think you will see that this post is appropriate anyway! You see, my son has fallen in love with an Irish girl from Galway. And he asked me to make her a quilt to express his regard for her. She is […]
My daughter Sara is going on vacation to Hawaii in a few weeks. The purpose of the trip is for her and her husband to attend the wedding of some very dear friends, but if anyone I know needs a vacation, it is Sara. I won't go into all the details, but suffice to say, […]
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 […]
Good morning. This is my sleepy self saying, "Hope you all had a safe and happy Thanksgiving". Mine was lovely, and I seem to be operating in low gear today. Probably the effects of too much turkey (and mashed potatoes, dressing, gravy, green bean casserole and pumpkin pie). Seriously, it is a known fact that […]
