I was sent this product, and agreed to do a review on it, a number of weeks ago. I have been so busy with the new job and trying to make baby quilts so my soon to be grand daughter has one for every day of the week (kind of kidding here), that I have […]
Finally I got into my sewing room and got some Bliss Baby Blocks done. I stopped trying to complete the applique center on each flower and concentrated just on getting the blocks finished. My aim was to complete all 30 blocks this weekend and then work on appliquing the center circles before and after work […]

As you can imagine, I am quite distracted. Both my in laws are declining noticably of late, and are now incapable of making their […]
Easter was a spendid success, with all the family getting together for our usual brunch.

My nephew Eric made Bloody Marys and Grey Hounds, two very wonderful cocktails. Eric also […]
