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 […]
Did I get your attention? How about that piece of cake, eh? That piece of cake is now a fond memory of my recent trip to San Francisco. This is called "Italian Wedding Cake with Seasonal Berries, Meringue, Zabaglione, and Berry Compote". Amazing. I had it at a very popular restaurant called Rose Pistola. In […]
I've been on a business trip, and this was the view from my hotel room. Seriously. I'm home and I'm pooped, but I will post again a bit later to tell you more about my experience! Anyone recognize where I've been?
We had a marvelous vacation last week, and arrived safely back home in time for a little Father's Day barbeque. The lake in the photo above is Mosquito Lake, which we passed on our way home. Since it was Father's Day, we indulged my son in law a stop. He just couldn't resist. This guy […]
Having a wonderful time. Wish you were here! Yesterday we just hung out by the pool and relaxed. We took Baby E in the water and she loved it, the little fishy. Today we are planning a picnic at Fallenleaf Lake, and an afternoon massage for Sara and I. It is so lovely to be […]
The kids and I are on a little vacation this week at Lake Tahoe. We aren't staying at my favorite place, but this will do. We are up on a hill overlooking Carson Valley, which is in Nevada. I feel like we are up in an airplane, we are up so high! Tomorrow we hope […]
Just a quick note to tell you I will be out and about for the next couple of days. My sisters and other dear female relations are going to San Francisco for some shopping and dining adventures. Hope to take some photos to share when I return!
When I was tearing through the Road to California quilt show in Ontario last week, my heart nearly stopped when I came upon something I have wanted my entire grown up life. A barn quilt. There was a booth,hosted by "Classic Metal Company", who had displayed heavy weight steel "barn quilt" blocks to use as […]
Palm Desert, California, is where I spent the past week. The photos I posted were all taken at the Living Desert Zoo and Botanical Garden. Thanks to all of you who played along and guessed where I was. Barbara L. was the first person to guess correctly. She and I have been in touch and […]
Nothing much happening around here. I am keeping occupied by getting the binding stitched on to the Blissful Blossoms quilt that I recently received from Linda. Just a bit more to go and it will be ready to turn over to Sara. Today Sara and I drove over to Copperopolis, a nearby town with an […]
