She's here! Our dear sweet Baby E has arrived! Sara is holding her for the first time. She had just looked into her baby's eyes and said "You are Evangeline Nicole, and I am your mother". I cried like a baby, and will again whenever I remember it. Can't think of many happier days than […]
I love it when I put out a cry for help and so many of you rally round to save me from myself. Did I ever get a lot of great suggestions for the precise creation of the Farmer's Wife blocks! If you get a chance, do read all the comments from yesterday's post. If […]
My Annie's Farm Stand fabric arrived over the weekend! I was so excited to get started making my Farmer's Wife blocks, that I jumped right in. Sara and I worked on our blocks together, and I finished a dozen of them. Actually 14, but one is much like another so I didn't take its picture, […]
Nothing much happening around here. I am keeping occupied by getting the binding stitched on to the Blissful Blossoms quilt that I recently received from Linda. Just a bit more to go and it will be ready to turn over to Sara. Today Sara and I drove over to Copperopolis, a nearby town with an […]

I found the perfect paint color for the studio! Limestone for the walls and Light Breeze for the ceiling. You can hardly tell the difference between the two colors, but Sea Breeze is lighter. I would describe them as a pale sage. Very pale. I love the scent of fresh paint! I just can't wait […]
Any day now…. We are waiting… And waiting… And waiting. Go check out Sara's blog for a long awaited update and pictures of the nursery!
This may just be one of my favorite quilts EVER!!! Linda from The Quilted Pineapple did the quilting for me, and it is exquisite. She did all of the quilting *freehand*, believe it or not! Trust me, this gal does great work. And her prices are reasonable too. Look at the close up of […]
Thank you all for your encouraging and supportive comments on dealing with elderly parents. It is so difficult to know if one is making the correct decision. You want to do the best for them, and yet it has to be convenient and safe and affordable. Luckily, there are lots of choices out there, and […]
