It can be a dull as dirt kind of day, and the UPS guy comes to the door in his little brown shorts and his good natured smile and says, "Here’s another one!" And he hands over a little square box of surprisingly solid weight. Suddenly, I love my day. I love my UPS guy. […]
Miss Jean, from In the Garden with Miss Jean tagged me to play a new Meme game. The idea is to come up with a six word quote that would serve as your memoir. This was harder than I thought it would be! istockphoto How about this quote from Helen Keller? "I never fight–except against […]
This bleak little picture is of the iron in my sewing room. No, I am not particularly proud or fond of this iron. Perry challenged me to post on the subject of my iron, and I have to admit, it is a bit of a sore topic. You see, this is the THIRD iron I […]
This happy lady pictured above is Mary Wood from Australia. Some of you may remember that she won my leftover blocks from the Return to Sender quilt I made awhile ago. A few people have emailed me to ask what Mary ever did with those blocks, and I am happy to share the finished project […]
My DH has been gone for six days, and I my attention is beginning to wander. No, not to another man. Two words, people. Pottery Barn. I think I may be in love. With all the freedom I have had this week, I managed to get out and do some window shopping. Only I didn’t […]

Allow me to introduce Remy. Remy is a nine week old West Highland Terrier, just adopted by my daughter Sara and her husband. Isn’t he just the most adorable little fluff of fur you ever saw? My sister Andrea and I got to puppy sit the little guy this week, and as I had Ozzie […]
As you know, I had a blog give away a week ago, and Susan of Blackberry Creek was the winner. I am embarrassed to say that I have not yet put her quilt "Blogging Friendship" in the mail, because I am still sewing on the binding. Bad Nicole. I will get it done in the […]
It isn’t like me to be in a quandry about what project to work on, but that is just where I found myself last week. Do you ever find that you can spend a day deep in thought about quilting projects, and at the end of the day, have accomplished exactly nothing except making a […]
Ozzie! What did you do? Look at me…. Bad dog. That is not a toy. That is a very expensive ball of yarn I was saving for something. How did you get that? Oh Ozzie. What am I going to do with you? I was in my sewing room, trying to cut out the red, […]
