I had to share my daffodil bouquet with you all. It was my Springtime treat for myself. The weather has been so lovely this week, that I decided to bring out even more Easter decorations, including my Suicide Bomber Bunny. That is what Dad called him when he saw him. Honestly. My decorations don't get […]
I have had my iPod for several years. There are more elaborate versions available now, but since mine is perfectly serviceable, I decided that I am not ready to upgrade at this time. So what's the problem? Well, when I got this iPod, I had a Mac computer. All my tunes were downloaded on this […]
I realize that it is St. Patrick's Day, not St. Valentine's Day, but I think you will see that this post is appropriate anyway! You see, my son has fallen in love with an Irish girl from Galway. And he asked me to make her a quilt to express his regard for her. She is […]
Since Ozzie is up in Palo Alto during the week, I haven't been spending as much time with him lately. He does come home on the weekends with my husband, and we catch up on all the affection we have missed during the week (not just Ozzie but my husband too of course!). I spent the […]
I received a package in the mail this weekend from the very generous designer for whom I have been doing some stunt sewing. It came completely out of the blue and surprised the heck out of me! Inside the package were a ton of layer cakes, charm packs, her latest patterns, and a lovely note […]
I ask you, how many pairs of jeans does one woman need? I've been spring cleaning my closets this week, and have decided that I have been hanging on to too many pairs of jeans. Face it, the size 8s probably are not going to fit me again in this lifetime. They only fit for […]
I need a vacation. Some place warm. With a view of water. I am all ready to go. Cute tote bag? Check. White roll up cuff capris? Check. Honestly. It is so darn cold and windy around here, it isn't even funny any more. I want some sunshine. Temps at least somewhere in the 70's. […]
So this is what 200 4 1/2" blocks looks like. It represents a lot of sewing. I wish I could show you the blocks, which are super cute, but I can't. This is a stunt sewing project I am doing for a well known quilt pattern designer, and I am sworn to secrecy until the […]
That expression has long amused me. What does it mean? All hat and no cattle means someone who talks a good line, but doesn't have much in substance to back it up. And maybe that is what I have been guilty of lately. I sure have a lot of ideas for quilting projects, but haven't […]
Rain. And more rain. We are getting tired of it, Sophie and I. She doesn't get her walks on schedule, and is going out of her mind with boredom. Today I took her for a little ride in the car, just to get her out of the house, and she actually seemed to enjoy it. […]
