Is anyone watching the Oprah series on Uncluttering Your Home? She has put together a squad of people who travel all over in Volkswagen Bugs knocking on the doors of unsuspecting slobs, barge in and shame them in front of the entire world about how cluttered and messy their homes are. It is either […]
I have been procrastinating a lot lately. There are several potentially really beautiful projects I have started, and then left off working on. What is my problem? I think it is that I have so many unquilted tops sitting around my house that it seems a shame to start another one. There is quite a […]
Did you have a good weekend? Get any sewing done? The weather was damp and dreary here, and it seemed like a much better idea to stay inside and sew rather than clean up the yard. Spending time organizing my closets and tossing out some old clothes would have probably been more productive, but I […]
This little Princess and the Pea would be my Sophie, posing delicately while she catches a few zzzz's. She has taken to climbing into bed with me after her morning walk with my husband and Ozzie. After leaping onto me and licking my face thoroughly, she curls up against my tummy and we make like […]
There is an awesome little coffee shop right near where I work. It is called the Carmel Coffee Roasting Company, and they do indeed have wonderful coffee. What I like best about the place is that it is the kind of place you WANT to go to every morning. The staff is friendly and if […]

I know it is probably too soon to put the umbrellas away, but I sure have been excited about getting some fresh Spring colors into my decor. Have you decorated yet? Easter will be here on April 12, just a month from now. Even if you don't celebrate Easter, do you change out any of […]
I wasn't even going to post on this subject, because I thought it had been resolved very nicely. I recently ordered a batik fat quarter selection from a very well known online fabric company that specializes in batik and Asian fabrics. The color selection was to be raspberry. Eight beautiful fat quarters all in shades […]
Now that Daylight Savings time has begun again, the Vernal Equinox is just a couple of weeks away, don't you just want to ditch the turtlenecks and boots and get out your cropped pants and tee shirts? Wear bright springy colors? Change into that cute straw summer hand bag? Use some self tanner and get […]
Hey everybody, greetings from Newport Beach! The family and I are on vacation, something we haven't been able to do together since Ozzie and Sophie came to live with us. We used to have the aged grandparents take care of our dog while we went away, but they are getting a bit doddery and aren't […]
