I am still enjoying what is left of the fall color. Most of the leaves are down or have turned brown, but there is still a tree of two that still hangs on to its red or yellow color. Inside our house it looks like Christmas, but I still love that outside fall color. I […]
It seems like we just can't get a break lately. Poor Dennis was practicing with his walker yesterday and his leg gave out on him and he fell. I was right behind him with the wheelchair, but he missed it. He wasn't injured, but he couldn't get up and I couldn't lift him. I called […]
We had a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. My husband is home from the hospital and is doing well. It was a beautiful day yesterday and he came outside for the first time in two months and was able to water some of the plants on the back porch. We have a week […]
It will be a happy Thanksgiving at our house this year for sure. My husband came home from the hospital yesterday and we now embark on his long road to recovery and mobility. He is beside himself with the idea of being home and seeing Archie, spending time with me, eating my cooking, and being […]
Sara and I put out our latest book review podcast this weekend. Click on the Reeding Between the Lines link to the right to listen or watch us on YouTube. Needless to say, with my husband's health issues, the past month hasn't been my best reading month. However, I did manage to read a few […]

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 […]
