Category: Just For Fun

So.  What do you all do when you feel overwhelmed with the number of quilting projects you have started and have yet to finish?  Do you pull your hair in frustration?  Do you stay up all night to make some headway on all the sewing you need to do?  Do you hide the unfinished projects […]

Did I get your attention?   Well, I will give you my opinion on that subject in a minute. First of all, I want to say that the comments I received on yesterday's post were incredible.  If you haven't read them all, I recommend that you go back and read every one.  What thoughtful, heartfelt messages […]

I just have to share this blurry picture of Ozzie and Remy.  They had been playing tug of war with a tennis ball, both of them hanging on for dear life, when by some silent signal, they both stopped tugging and dropped the ball between them.  After a bit of panting, they were at it […]

In a past life I used to be a pre-school and pre-kindergarten teacher.  My favorite thing to do was to create flannel board stories or dramatic play kits based on my favorite children’s literature.  One favorite book of mine ( and of hundreds of my students) was “Caps For Sale: A Tale of a Peddler, […]

Sorry I dropped out of sight there for a few days after my Blog Give Away.  Life just got hectic.  Or maybe I just got lazy!  Part of my problem is that I am having a terrible time trying to decide upon my next project.  I thought I had it all figured out, but now […]

Today is the day to pick a winner of my Blogging Friendship quilt!  I printed out and cut out all 140 comments to my Blogiversary post.  Then, I dumped all of Ozzie’s toys out of his toy basket and put the paper strips in it. My assistant put his nose in the basket and selected […]

My goodness.  I just won something!  Dear Jane from  Sew It Create It had a blog giveaway going on and I made a comment on the required day.  Miraculously, my name was the winner!  You see above the lovely things she sent me, all the way from England.  A terrific tote all made out of […]
