Hey everyone. Can you believe it’s November already? I won’t say “What happened to October?”, because I enjoyed every second of it. Glorious weather, and I appreciated being in my home and having my family near. Honestly, every day was perfect. I spent yesterday doing a clean up around the place. I put away all […]
Once more we gathered for my family's Annual Halloween Party over the weekend. I think it's been more than 34 years that we have been doing this, but who's counting? That is my little family portrait above. It would be perfect for our Christmas cards, don't you think? My husband is a Pharaoh, my daughter […]
October is such a good month to snuggle in with a spooky book. I don't like horror or too much gore in my reading material, but a gothic or slightly spooky tale is right up my alley. Here are some books that I have read this month and some that I think would be great […]
Lately I have been wondering where on earth my day goes. It goes, that is for sure, and I have been feeling I don't have much to show for it. I was struggling with finding a topic to blog about, since I have not been sewing, when it occurred to me that I should just […]
Can you believe how gorgeous this fabric collection is? It is Spice It Up by Jo Morton, designed for Moda. The colors are my favorite warm autumn tones, and I can think of so many projects that this fabric would be perfect for. If you are a collector of Jo's fabrics, you know that her […]
Here is a little sideways view of my almost completed red and white Christmas quilt. I have been getting up into the sewing room sporadically and making the rest of the flying geese. Only three more strips of ten geese to go, then I will assemble the sections. The final step will be to add […]
Sorry I have been such a bad blogger lately. Life is just getting in my way I tell you. Here are a few things we have been up to. Eva and I made unicorn pumpkin cookies this weekend. Now that is a concept isn't it? We had the candy corn and while we were decorating […]
I don't have a lot to show for my time this week, but I have read a really spooky, good book. The Corset by Laura Purcell. I bought this in London, and don't think it is available yet in the US. If you haven't read her previous book, The Silent Companions, that is another really […]
Every year or so, I get the urge to knit something. My knitting skills are basic, at best, but I love to crank out a scarf or two every now and then. I am someone who would really benefit from taking a knitting class, or joining an informal knitting group. I can knit and purl […]
I'm proud to say I applied myself to the task and completed the bindings on four quilts over the weekend. Three of them were table runners, but they are done and I am enjoying them as part of the Fall decor. That's my dining table above. The runner is my own creation. Inspired by a […]
