Ozzie Gets Some News

  "Ozzie!  Listen!  Slow down a sec!  Do you like to play?  Do you like to play with other doggies?  I thought so!  Well, guess what sweetie?  Your sister Harmony is going to come and live with us!  She will be your new friend, who will be here with you all the time when I […]

Where There is a Will There’s a Way

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 […]

It Is All About the Contrast

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 […]

Now, What Was I Going To Do With This?

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 […]

No Recipe Easy Dinner

    I have completed my first two weeks at my new job today.  And it was Pay Day!  Big Whoop.  My check was half what I was figuring it was going to be.  I was thinking I was getting paid for two weeks, but nope, that wasn't the case.  I started my job on […]

Bubble Head Ozzie

Much to Ozzie's delight, my son was home from Cal Poly for the weekend.  Ozzie loves him passionately because he thinks up very funny games that the rest of us dullards in the family would never dream up.  It takes one comedian to know what another would find funny I guess. You are all familiar with […]

Heritage Stars

This is the center medallion for the Heritage Stars quilt I have been working on.  Or rather not working on, but I am trying to correct that situation.  I am using the beautiul fabric group Allspice Tapestry by Fig Tree for Moda and a pattern I found in an issue of APQ.  The center medallion […]

My Little Helpers

I received so many encouraging comments from you dear friends out there regarding my new schedule and how I will soon get used to it.  Thank you ever so much for your patience with me last week, and know that I am working on a solution to getting back to normal.  Without resigning from my […]

Finding My Way

Hello Friends.  Thank you for all your good wishes to me on the occasion of my first week at my new job.  And also,  thank you for your patience with my lack of blogging.  I am getting into my new routine, and will carve out niches for both quilting and blogging on a regular basis. […]

Checking In

Hi there.  I am still alive, but barely.  Yesterday was my first day at my new job, and it took the starch right out of me.  I have to get used to getting up at 6:00 AM, a habit I have lapsed out of.  Learning so many new things makes my brain ache, and when […]
