Lisa comes in six days! Oh my gosh. This house is a mess. I can’t let her see it like this. When my husband looked at me fondly this morning and said, "What shall we do with this beautiful Saturday?", he was definitely NOT expecting my answer. "We need to shampoo the carpets". He has […]
istockphoto This weekend, I had an opportunity to reflect and put a few things into perspective. I live a privileged life compared to many folks. I don’t always see it that way, grumbling about the price of gas, or the outrageous price my hairdresser charges me for color and cut, how I have to give […]
I don’t know what possessed me. I was at my Wednesday UFO group at Eddie’s Quilting Bee and had planned to work on my Posh Basket blocks. Somehow I had left my half square triangles at home and had to start over and make some more. The book I am using for the block pattern, […]
So, I woke up this morning and thought, "OK, this is the day I get organized! All my UFO’s will be catagorized and sorted as to finishing date. I will devote this entire day to that activity and my life will change for the better." I went into the sewing room, gazed around for a […]

I take back every single nice thing I ever said about him. I never should have bragged about how dog training was going so well. Ozzie is incorrigible and will never be a good dog. Ever. These are brand new designer shoes I paid a bloody fortune for, and wore for a total of about […]
I’ve been too busy to sew the past week, plus the weather has been too nice to be cooped up inside! We spent all day Saturday out in the garden and look what is going on out there! The photo above is our wisteria, not very well situated in a back corner of the yard. […]
Easter in our family is always exactly the same. We all gather at Dad’s house around 11:00, and everyone always brings exactly the same offering to the pot lunch brunch. No variations, no subsitutions allowed! No one misses this brunch unless they are in Tierra del Fuego (like my nephew) or sick as a dog […]
Prairiequeens got in the entire collection of Posh by Chez Moi for Moda. Debbie at PQ says it reminds her of a dish of melted Neapolitan ice cream! I agree, it’s got the pinks, the chocolates, a touch of pistachio, and the backgrounds are a vanilla white. I love this fabric. Love with a Capital […]
