I do apologize for the lack of posts lately. I have not been doing much sewing, and have, in fact, been giving my hobby some serious consideration. I have so many quilts and it is becoming harder and harder to justify cranking out more of them. I am feeling overwhelmed with the number of quilts […]
Hope you all had a happy Easter, if you celebrate it. We got together with family for an Easter egg hunt and brunch, and again later in the day for Easter dinner. My son-in-law Ryan hosts the brunch and egg hunt at the winery, and Eva was in charge of filling plastic eggs with goodies […]
We had a lovely family St. Patrick's Day celebration. My son-in-law Ryan and his wife usually invite us over for dinner on that day, and this year was no exception. He prepared the traditional corned beef and cabbage, and boiled potatoes, and I volunteered to bring Irish Soda Bread. You might think making Irish soda […]
I am still is production mode with these striped cushions. I warned you I'd be at it for a while. I have a few more to go, but the end is in sight. I am getting better and better at it. I can get one done in about 20 minutes at this point. And look […]
My son-in-law asked me to make 16 cushions for the outside area of his wine tasting room. He bought the fabric ages ago, and I used some of it to recover the cushions on his own home patio. I have been putting off making the tasting room cushions because the weather has been too lousy […]
Well, it must be said that Eva takes after her daddy. She is a natural-born salesperson. That is her in the pink blow-up suit, with two more inhibited friends, selling Girl Scout cookies this past weekend in front of our local supermarket. Believe me, she attracted attention and the girls sold a boatload of cookies. […]
Well, my Chi iron didn't last as long as I would have liked, but then, I am awfully hard on irons apparently. I bought the one on the left in May 2022 and the one on the right arrived this week. The "older" one is still working, and not leaking unless I try to use […]
Eva and I wish you all a very happy Valentine's Day. We had fun decorating some cookies which she will share with her girlfriends at school today. Of course, she had to taste one, and said they are A-OK. After my big Flea Market finish, I wasn't in the mood to tackle anything huge, so […]
Are you ready to have your heart feel happy? This past October, my nephew suffered a cardiac arrest while walking his friend's dog one evening. A passerby saw him fall and called 911. The paramedic team in the above photo arrived quickly, performed CPR, and transported him to the nearest hospital. Without any doubt, those […]
Honestly, it seems as if all we have been doing is cooking. I made bread in the bread machine and I am not sure what the special juju was, but it was the biggest and best-formed loaf I have ever gotten out of the thing. It was nice that the bread turned out because things […]
