I just can't tell you how much I appreciate all the information that was shared with me this week on the subject of longarm quilting machines. I am trying to respond to each of you to express my thanks. What was interesting, is that even though I opened the opportunity for people to share any […]
I am so appreciative of the ton of comments and emails I got yesterday when I asked for Longarm recommendations. Honestly, you have given me enough to research for the next six months! I can see first and foremost that not only do I need to do continue to do lots of reading up on […]
OK, this is strange. I have discovered the equivalent of a pot of gold. Seriously. Turns out that I have a small annuity that I didn't know about. It isn't a lot, but I sure wasn't expecting it. Now, I could use it to put a new roof on the house or go on a […]
First off, I want to say that neither of the sinks pictured in this post belong to me. I got them off the internet to make a point. Have you all ever heard of The Fly Lady? Years ago, I happened upon her website, which at the time, was a homey kitschy sort of thing. […]
How funny is this? That big old trailer is full of trimmings from our yard! You would not believe the activity those energetic gardeners generated. All except for one. See the gentleman in the hat at the far left of the photo? He is the ancient father of one of the gardeners. I showed him […]
The gardeners are here! I expect that there will be much lopping, trimming, pulling, and piling going on in my yard the next few days. They didn't really show up each with their very own wheel barrow, but I loved that picture above. The barrows look like they are in a confab just before they […]
I can't seem to get a good picture of this to save my life. The picture above shows a random placement of the blocks so you can get the idea. Trust me, it is coming along, and it is going to be nice. I still have more blocks to make in different color combinations, so […]
Have you heard about OXO Good Grips Pop storage containers? If you have a pantry to organize, you might want to check them out. They are air tight, stackable and extremely space efficient. Not cheap, but if you pick up a couple each week, before you know it, your pantry will look wonderful. I love the […]
I didn't get to post early this morning as I usually do. Two issues were behind the situation. One, I didn't have much of interest to share, and two, Sophie and I took a nap when I got home from work yesterday afternoon. Typically I will compose a post or two a day or so […]
I know this is supposed to be a quilting blog for the most part, but it is also a journal of what is going on in my life. Right now, what is going on in my life is some labor intensive stunt sewing, and some redecorating of my house. I can't share any pics of […]
