Hi there, just a brief update to let you know why my blogging has been sketchy in the past few days. Grandpa is very ill and has been in the hospital. Over the weekend we had to move him into a convalescent hospital, as he is unable to do much of anything for himself. It […]
Certainly I have been enjoying the inside of my new home, and getting it decorated for fall. However the outside has many charms as well, with wrap around covered porches and a very nice view. I bought some red citronella candles at the hardware store of all places, and love lighting them each evening and […]
This is Mary's quilt, the quilt that started it all. Can you believe that Mary saw my blog post yesterday and sent me the link to the photo of her using her sunflower quilt on her dining table for a harvest party? Go check out her link and be inspired, as I was! Mary has […]
So. This is the quilt that my friends Lisa (Stashmaster) and Thelma (Cupcakes 'n' Daisies) are thinking of making together. Isn't this the funnest quilt you have seen in forever? I saw it first on someone's blog (forgive me, I don't remember whose). This blogger was using hers as a late summer, early fall […]
I sure didn't get any sewing done this past weekend, so I am showing you a recent acquisition that is still available from Fat Quarter Shop. Rene Nanneman is known for her beautiful small prints, many of which are the perfect background fabrics. She is famous for these "ditsy" prints, which in many cases nearly […]
I am so excited about a new project I am beginning, perfect for late summer/early fall. I can't tell you all about it just yet, as I hope to be sewing along with a couple of friends, and haven't conferred with them as to when we are going to officially start sharing the details. This […]
The creepy crows are making another appearance on the living room mantel. I just love those guys, a Pottery Barn find of a few years back. I may love them, but the rest of the family, not so much. I think they add just the right autumnal touch to my seasonal decorating scheme. I came […]
I did a little happy dance on the front porch when I saw that this had arrived. Good thing I have a couple of guardians to watch over valuables until I can pick them up. At the moment I do not have specific plans for the bundle, just knew I had to have it. All […]
As I mentioned a couple of posts ago, I had some big changes occur over the late spring and summer, one the biggest of which was that I moved. On the whole, that was an excellent change, as I never really loved the house I was living in. It was too small and rather ordinary, […]
I managed to finish my Another Year of Schnibbles project for August, just under the wire. I am calling my effort "Spooky Canasta" since I used the Halloween prints from a charm pack of Primitive Gatherings "Seasonal Gatherings" collection. I made the smallest version of the project since I started late, didn't have much fabric […]
