My husband and I are off on another getaway, this time to beautiful Lake Tahoe. The weather is nice, but the majority of folks do not yet have their boats out. I think Memorial Day is the magic date that everyone is waiting for. We have a gorgeous time share where we stay a couple […]
I finally got myself in gear and sent these two little table toppers out for quilting. I shouldn't procrastinate-the sooner they are quilted, the sooner I can use them in my spring/summer decorating. I love the soft muted colors of the runner at the top of the picture. It is a Fig Tree pattern called […]
My latest distraction from reorganizing my sewing room is this little mini quilt in the Corn and Beans block. I got my little pieces all cut out and sorted with my Alphabitties. If you don't have Alphabitties, you might want to consider adding some to your collection of sewing notions. They are double sided plastic […]
I did make it up to the sewing room yesterday, with the idea that my re-organization would commence. I started with the dresser and this adorable little kit was in the first drawer I opened. How cute is that little Corn and Beans kit? It measures 17" square when finished and would make the summeriest […]
It has become something of a tradition for Eva to make a special Easter cake with me. This was our effort a couple of years ago. Eva is in charge of choosing the design, and as she has gotten older, she has taken on more of the decorating responsibilities as well. This is what she came […]
Our vacation down in the desert is coming to an end. We have spent much of our time down by the pools, but have had some other outings that allowed us to explore the beauty of the area. The scenery is pretty spectacular. Back at home, it seems that spring has finally arrived. Ozzie is […]
My husband and I are celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary this week. I tell you, those years flew by in a flash. After all that time, we barely need to talk, we are so in sync. I laughingly told him we no longer have to ask each other questions, because we know the answers just […]
How can one not be happy when one has a mermaid in the family? We had a glorious day at the pool. Eva, as you can see has a new swim get up that takes a bit of wiggling into. She has certainly attracted some attention poolside. The mermaid "tail" comes off and she can […]
Last week was really something friends. And that would not be something good. After my last post, Sara, Eva and I all came down with a violent form of the stomach flu, also known as norovirus. I would not wish that on my worst enemy. I will spare you the details but after 48 hours […]
I believe I may be getting over my cold. Which is a good thing. I have had Eva since the beginning of the month because her daddy is traveling, and she has suddenly come down with the stomach flu. The less said about that the better, but the up shot is, she has been sick […]
