Sophie and Ozzie have settled in beautifully to life at our house. It didn't take Sophie long to figure out she could lay claim to the other chair in the family room. That is Ozzie on the right looking rather regal, and Sophie on the left. Sometimes they cuddle up together in the same chair, […]
What a lovely weekend I had. I invited my entire family over for a Sunday barbeque in my back yard. Most of them turned up and we had around 20 people. Is there anything better than having your loved ones over? I live about 70 miles away from most of the family, so it is […]
Happy September everyone! How can it be nearing the end of summer already? I loved my summer, and the many days I got to be home sewing. I have three or four of my quilts at the quilters, but haven't been able to pick them up and pay for them yet. I hope to get […]
Have you all discovered this super new gizmo? It is a bendable intense bright light that you attach to the top of your sewing machine! You stick the base on the machine, and then insert the light mechanism into it. You remove it when you pack up your machine, but it fits right back on when […]
Just a quick update—It is going pretty well with Sophie and Ozzie. He plays too rough, but they are figuring out the best way to handle things. When she gets fed up with him, she gives it right back to him. We have had to separate them a couple of times, but for the most […]

The shock of receiving half of what I was expecting in my first paycheck has gotten me thinking. How am I going to pay these darn bills? I do not want any calls from Bob in India, my Nemesis. He is such a doggone pest. So aside from going into more debt in order to […]
Remember this pattern? I started to make it back in April with a collection called In The Pink 1 designed by Buggy Barn for Henry Glass. My colors are all pinks and browns. I set the project aside because I was not happy with the lack of contrast in my blocks. I believe the point of this block […]
Didn't have a lot of time to sew this weekend, but I did manage to get into the stash closet and fondle some of my fabric. I rediscovered this yummy collection that I bought back in April when Lisa was out for a visit. The fabric is Fresh Air by Chez Moi for Moda. Very […]
