My husband trundled all the boxes from where they have been stored in the garage, down to the studio. The small boxes contain mainly fabric, the medium size boxes are full of project boxes, UFO's, flimsies and supplies. The large boxes are full of folded quilts. My job is to unpack these things and find […]
My cabinetry is in! I don't have much time to post today, but wanted to share a picture of my entire wall of storage in the studio. I have four tall 36 inch wide cabinets and two shorter 24 inch wide cabinets. Do you think that will be enough space for all my project boxes […]
Can you guess why Handyman Bill might be coming back? Look what got delivered yesterday!! The cabinets for my quilting studio! Excited much? I will keep you posted on the progress of installing them and getting the studio organized. I could be unpacking things next week! Meanwhile, I have been working on a few non-quilting […]
Look at these buds just bursting open! I am so excited to feel a hint of spring in the air. I have an elevated back deck that gives me the feeling I am up in a tree house, and one of the trees that shades it is starting to do some very interesting things. As […]
Now that I have moved away from civilization and live out in the boonies, I find that I purchase most of my fabric online. I do try to order from brick and mortar stores that also do online business. One place that I have often bought from is Fatquartershop, who I have praised many times […]
Have to say I am having a blast making these adorable blocks. I love the construction technique, which makes an otherwise extremely tedious process super simple and easy. Can you even imagine cutting out teensy pieces to make the setting triangles? Me either, which is why I haven't made this block up 'til now. The […]
My little funk was certainly short lived. Good thing too. Yesterday while the baby was sleeping and Grandpa was enjoying his newspaper, I brought my portable sewing machine into the kitchen. Sometimes, you just have to make sewing happen. I did have to make a trip down to the studio for some fabric I purchased […]
Thanks for all the pep talks yesterday! Determined to shake my fit of blahs, I ventured out to the local yarn shop for a pick-me-up. Of course I saw something fun that I wanted to try! Sometimes retail therapy is just what the doctor ordered. The shop had a new assortment of novelty yarns and […]
I have felt more or less paralyzed with ennui the past couple of days. After seeing that the house is tidied, the dishes done, Grandpa fed, and Ozzie walked, I find myself feeling at loose ends and terribly tired. Maybe it is the let down of having my son and his fiance return to Ireland. […]
My son and his fiance left for Ireland, and for some reason I am exhausted. I have sympathetic jet lag I think. Napped all afternoon yesterday. In fact, my house was full of nappers. Baby E in the bedroom, Grandpa in his chair, Ozzie in his dog bed, and me in the living […]
