I don't think I ever imagined I would write a post called "Freezing Bacon", but here we are. Honestly, I have abrilliant tip for you today! Actually two tips. The first is this freezer bag holder I got on Amazon. It holds your bag open while you fill it with soup, leftovers, or in this […]
This sweet little block is #4 in the Christmas at Granny's sew-along. It did have a lot of fussy tiny pieces. I ended up making that star section twice because the first one came out wonky. I have a fantastic update regarding my husband's recovery! Yesterday he was able to stand up from sitting in […]
How cute is this little stocking? This is block 3 in the Christmas at Granny's quilt-along. This block didn't give me too many issues, as the piecing of the stocking was pretty simple. The next block features an ornament with a teensy little star in the center, which I expect will be more challenging. Next, […]
In my last post I proudly showed you my present block, which was block #2 in the Christmas at Granny's sew along. Oops. I totally cut it out wrong. How come nobody told me? No worries, there is more fabric where that came from. I remade the block and cut it properly this time, on […]
I am happy to say I was able to do a bit of sewing over the weekend. I started the Christmas at Granny's Quilt Along hosted by My Sew Quilty Life, and really like the first block. My fabrics are mostly reds and greens and backgrounds from Lori Holt's Hometown Holiday collection. There is a […]
Over the weekend, I pulled out the new Home Town Holidays fabric I recently purchased and gave it a good starching. I need some kind of holiday project to work on over the next couple of months, even though I have at least three Halloween projects that are unfinished for now. I do enjoy working […]
It is possible that no one but me will see my November holiday decor, but I put it up anyway. A lot of this decor was already up, but with Halloween figurines and runners. Swapping things out wasn't too hard. It's funny, but it gave me a sense of normalcy and happiness that I wasn't […]
This is certainly a new experience for me. Managing on my own that is. I have been made very aware of how much my husband deals with around the house. There are so many chores, many of them outside-related for which I now need to take responsibility. I actually managed to tackle the task of […]
We have a preliminary diagnosis for my husband's rapid onset debilitation that has left him paralyzed at this time. His neurologists are fairly certain he has a rare auto-immune disorder called Guillain-Barre Syndrome. It comes on quickly, over a period of a few weeks and is characterized by muscle weakness, slurred speech, tingling and numbness, […]
Happy Halloween everyone! I wanted to share this table topper that I got back from the quilter. How appropriate to share today. With all that's going on in my life at the moment, I didn't get it bound in time for Halloween, but I will enjoy it next year. Right now it is draped on […]
