Well for Heaven's sake. We go away for a few days family vacation and the whole country falls apart. We were in the Happiest Place on Earth, which, truth to tell, wasn't. It was our worst Disneyland experience in the 30 some years we have been going. The weather was hot, in the low 90s, which […]
In honor of my Year of Getting It Done, I put the outer border on my Steam Punk quilt. This special quilt called for a border, but a subtle one. I think the off white print fits the bill, allowing the focus to be on those glorious spinning propeller blocks. This will go out for […]
I won't be posting until the end of the week. I have some fun to attend to with my family! Hope you all had a great weekend, and I will fill you in on my doings when I get back in a couple of days.
I bet you can guess where I am this week. Yup, Disneyland. All decorated for the holidays, the Magical Kingdom has gone all out with their festive decor. My husband and I are in Southern California for a few days, and had to make a visit to the park one of our stops. I think […]
Look! It's a Pumpkin Patch! They had scary scarecrows. And witches and ghosts and all sorts of Halloween things. Corn maze. We got lost. Nana was sure we weren't ever going to find our way out, but we did. Then I picked out a green pumpkin. And a white pumpkin… In fact, we […]
Of course my friends and I went shopping while on the trip. There were several shops we throroughly enjoyed. One shop in particular, Charming Lulu seeemed to have a very clear idea of who they were and who their target customer was. The shop was full of bright color, spaciousness, and energy. The owner had […]
Ah, wool applique…I love the look of sewing with wool and don't do it nearly enough. I was fortunate to be able to sign up for a class with Stacy West of Buttermilk Basin on my recent travels. Stacy is a person who holds the simple pleasures of hand stitching very dear to heart. Her […]
I am back from a wonderful week of catching up with good friends, sewing with some very talented instructors and doing some excellent shopping. It is wonderful to get away–a rare event for me–but even better to come home and start playing with the new ideas and materials I acquired on the trip. I learned […]
Technically, this photo shows what is NOT going on this week. No progress at all on Metro, Hold the Lattice. Not bogged down or bored with the project–no, no, far from it. The thing is, I am getting ready to go on a trip! In a little over a week, I am meeting up with […]
Well, due to my injury, typing is a bit of a struggle, still. Thank you for your expressions of sympathy, I appreciate it so much. Because of my bum finger I haven't been able to respond to each comment–it takes forever! It is such an ordeal to type. My husband took pity on me and […]
