The term "hippy dippy" has a derogatory sound to it, but I have to disagree with the popular slang definition.  To me, Hippy Dippy implies something that is idealistic, naive and loving.  Peace, Flower Power.  Volkswagen camper vans with daisies painted on the sides.  All good things. I remember being a teenager in the 60's […]

Isn't this the sweetest little pincushion?  My friend Allyson sent it to me as a little Cheer Up gifty. Blogging friends are just the greatest, as I have said here many times.  They often have a knack for reading between the lines and saying just the right thing.  Who said that in this age of […]

My big plans to sew for two days straight this weekend were thwarted by a mysterious queasy lethargy that settled upon me and wouldn't let go.  I forced myself to complete four rows of the Red and White Snowball Challenge Quilt and like what I see.  My son commented that I had taken such a […]

It is all done except for a bit of wrapping and a lot of cooking.  I love it when I can just sit back and enjoy my tree, listen to schmaltzy Christmas music and peruse my cookbooks for new holiday recipes. It has been pretty quiet this week in Blogland; you all must be as […]

Hi there, Mary Kastner, you won my snowman UFO!  Now that I have found the pattern (thanks Karen and Rebecca), my plan is to get the borders on it and send it to you as a complete top.  Send me your address and give me a week or so and it will be on its […]

Thank you Susan, who suggested that my camera problem was probably a memory card issue.   I took the memory card out of my camera and re-inserted it.  That did the trick. It just needed to stretch or get a breath of fresh air or something. Also, my goodness, what a lot of comments I […]

I looked it up, and actually, it isn't.  However, when it is, people tend to have problems with mechanical devices.  Which I am.  So I wondered.  My camera is telling me that I have a memory disc error.  I have no clue what that means, and hope my goose isn't cooked.  I love my camera.  […]

This is a good example of why it isn't a good idea to leave things until the last minute.  My plan was to whip Cindy Lou Who together on Saturday when I had the whole day off.  My nine patches were done, all I had to do was make the snowball stars.  I laid the […]

I finished my Birdseye quilt top, that's what's going on!  I haven't trimmed it yet, and I want to examine all the little block intersections to make sure they line up right, but all in all, FINI! This quilt is way big.  I was going to add the perfect border fabric from the Sturbridge Harvest […]
