My mailbox was certainly full of treasures this week! Remember my tantrum about a certain shop that sent me a collection of fat quarters that were supposed to be raspberry pink, but turned out to be purple, blue and everything but raspberry? 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 […]

I just checked out your blog Girlfriend, and you are one lucky gal. It looks like you win stuff all the time! Or else […]
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 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 […]
This is a quilt I made years ago. Six or seven years ago at least. It remains one of my very favorite little quilts to put out during the Springtime. The quilt was very simple in its construction. You sew various sized strips together in long rows, and them randomly connect all the rows. The […]
