In general, I am not too squeamish about sacrificing a bit of fabric. I tend to buy a bit more than I need, so if I miss-cut or find that I want extra of something, I am covered. This project I am working on for my Friday Finish this week is off the chart as far […]
Hope all of you had a lovely holiday! Nothing like an all American holiday with great traditional food, and no gift requirements. We are both a little beat from all the fun we had over the long 4th of July weekend. Ozzie has been perched on top of his favorite chair all afternoon, and I […]
I felt like I rushed this one a bit, but here it is, delivered on time for a Friday Finish. Between getting distracted with another quilt project and Ozzie plaguing the life out of me, it was a bit of a crunch to get this one completed! I am pleased with the way it turned […]
I have had a white couch, that white couch in the photo above, for almost 15 years, by my calculation. I picked it out myself and was pleased with the elegant touch it gave my living room. I paid for it on monthly installments, and felt very grown up indeed. It has a creamy damask […]
Thanks to the Nancys (Near Philadelphia and In Wisconsin), I got out of my funk regarding Meadowbrook Farm. Actually, thanks to all of you who encouraged me to starch, press, re-think, finish, send it away, or put it up on a shelf in a brown bag forever. You were ALL right! I must admit I was very close […]
istockphoto I had a little too much fun this weekend. My youngest sister had a graduation party for my nephew Scott on Sunday. He had just recently graduated from high school, and his family was justifiably proud of his accomplishment. It was a terrific party. The place was full of charming young people, both sides of […]
Woo Hoo! My Web Sampler project has a deadline of this Tuesday, July 1, and I am nearing the finish. At least I think the deadline is this Tuesday. Ahem, that would be TOMORROW, wouldn’t it? Nobody has been talking much about this project we started together quite awhile back, so I just thought I […]
Mom discouraged bragging in our house when I was growing up, but I know she would give me some slack if I pat myself on the back for finishing this quilt top. I have been struggling to get this done for more than two years! The first challenge was the appliqued circles. I am […]
I don't have anything super interesting to blog about today, so I will tell you about one of my pet peeves. Back in April I had a job interview and really wanted to look modern and polished and professional–you know "office worthy". Dress for the position you want, they say. So, Macy's was having this […]
I have to be one of the most fortunate people in Blogland. Through blogging over the past year and a half, I have made some truly fabulous friends all over the world. Imagine my astonishment when I opened my front door and discovered this package that had traveled all the way from Australia! My friend […]
