Oh my gosh, I haven't been sewing the past couple of days, but my head is spinning with all the other things I have been doing. This post is all over the place, but I know there will be something for everyone. I brought out some Easter decorations, including a little bunch of fresh snapdragons, […]
This weekend Eva's family came over with little Winston, the Winery Westie and he and Archie had a playdate. I don't know which dog chased the other one more, but they sure had fun and wore themselves out. I bought a new cookbook recently, Everyday Comfort by Holly Nilsson, a blogger (Spend With Pennies) who […]
I got back to working on my Brio/Frivols table runner and am super pleased with how the block turned out. I will probably make five of these blocks for the runner. Maybe more, we shall see. These fabrics are an older American Jane collection which I find so cheerful and fun. I am certainly leaning […]
This is block 2 of the Cali & Co sew along that Corey Yoder of Coriander Quilts is hosting. I am using several collections of fabric for this sew along: some from Coriander Quilts and some scraps from some Sherri & Chelsi projects. They are all bright clear colors that will work great together in […]
Pictures tell the story better than words, don't they?Here is all my bedroom furniture out on the back porch while my old carpet is being torn out and the new one laid down. At least it finally stopped raining. Doors were removed. Beds taken apart. And here is my stairway with nothing on it at […]
My reading has been going great lately. I must be getting better at picking out books and realizing what type of book suits or doesn't suit my taste. I can see a pattern of me picking a lot fewer thrillers for one thing. I read 11 books in March, one of which is sure to […]
My little photo bomber couldn't resist getting in the picture I promised you of my Designer Mystery 2022 quilt. Go ahead and enlarge the photo so you can see the pretty quilting my longarmer did. And the serious expression on Archie's face. I don't know what was up with him; I guess he felt the […]
March may be going out like a lion here, but I was able to finally find daffodils at my local grocery store. I've been checking every week this month and they had them at last. Now it feels like Spring! This is the big week! My new carpeting is going to be installed on Wednesday […]
I got my husband to help me go through his closet yesterday. He had an entire wardrobe of beautiful suits and shoes that he used to wear to work when he was a banker in San Francisco's Financial District. Well, it was quite an investment of money, and it is now on its way to […]
Don't ask me how I did it, but in between the Great Closet Clean Out activity, I got all my fabrics cut out for the Cali & Co BOM! Woohoo, look at me go. I have always enjoyed the cutting process and don't find it boring at all. I get in the zone and just […]
