Sorry I dropped out of sight there for a few days after my Blog Give Away. Life just got hectic. Or maybe I just got lazy! Part of my problem is that I am having a terrible time trying to decide upon my next project. I thought I had it all figured out, but now […]
Today is the day to pick a winner of my Blogging Friendship quilt! I printed out and cut out all 140 comments to my Blogiversary post. Then, I dumped all of Ozzie’s toys out of his toy basket and put the paper strips in it. My assistant put his nose in the basket and selected […]
istockphoto The weather has been quite spectacular here in the Monterey Bay area, so I decided to take Ozzie for a walk on the beach. He had such a relatively successful time at his first dog training class, and I thought he deserved a bit of a reward. It was a sunny day, temps in […]
Happy Valentine’s Day friends! I hope your day is full of sweet surprises. The eye candy pictured above is the focus fabric and pattern for the next quilting project I am planning. The fabric and the pattern are called A Morris Garden by Timeless Treasures (yes, I do occasionally fall for fabric made by a […]

Ozzie got a Big Boy haircut!! No, it didn’t turn his eyes green—I don’t know what that is all about. My poor skills as a photographer most likely. Doesn’t he look like a proper gentleman? Don’t be fooled. The groomer (who we have known through three generations of family dogs) said he fought tooth and […]
Thank you so much, all of you kindred spirits out there! Your words of encouragement mean the world to me. I love you all. I am better today, and not feeling quite so fragile. My goodness, the blogging world sure is full of support and encouragement and love. Right now, this is what I need […]
This Blended Quilt Challenge has just been the most fun. In fact, I became a bit obsessed with the possibilities that were out there for making any number of exquisite quilts using the blended fabrics method. I picked an easy one to begin with: a medallion style quilt top. With a medallion quilt, you begin […]
My goodness. I just won something! Dear Jane from Sew It Create It had a blog giveaway going on and I made a comment on the required day. Miraculously, my name was the winner! You see above the lovely things she sent me, all the way from England. A terrific tote all made out of […]
