A big thank you to all who shopped at my Tuesday Sale this week! I hope that you love your selections when they arrive. I've still got plenty more to sell, so check back next week! The quilt above is the one I recently got out of hock from my favorite quilter. It is an […]
Aren't these coral roses just the prettiest color? I wanted to do something a little different this weekend when we had company. Coral isn't a color I wear or decorate with, but I think I may have been missing something. It all started with our kitchen table, which we have had for over 30 years. […]
Interesting comments to yesterday's post on the low tech way to do laundry. So many of you have the same memories as I do. One woman said that we must have had the same grandma, her recollections were so identical to mine. We always wondered what happened to Uncle Roger, maybe this is a clue? […]

Well, Allyson in Alaska read my rant and sent me a collection of […]
My husband and son are off on vacation together this week in Palm Desert. Since I have no one to cook for, I am making the most of the week by going on a diet. Five pounds is all I ask. Yes, ten would be better, and fifteen a complete miracle. But I will settle […]
Those are 6 1/2 inch star blocks for a quilt I am making out of some Allspice Tapestry fabric by Fig Tree for Moda. I started this project months ago and it has been sitting in a box all this time. It's a shame too, because I really like this fabric and the pattern. It […]
