A Day of Sewing
I feel pretty good about my use of time on my day off yesterday. I got almost all the bindings attached to my Christmas gift quilts. This landing area upstairs outside my sewing room is my staging area for quilts waiting for the binding to be hand sewn down. And Lord love me, do I ever…

Killer Shoes
With this wedding coming up on Saturday, I have brought out the Killer Shoes. The ones I haven't worn since we moved out here to the country over five years ago. Believe it or not, they are soft as butter and quite comfortable for high heels. Those are my fancy earrings and cocktail ring next…

Chit Chat
Hi there. I just had to get another post in this week, even if it isn't sewing related. I hope you all are having a splendid week. Mine is flying by, but I am enjoying my fall decorations and the rather dramatic change in the weather we have had. I thought I would just take…

What’s On Your Bed?
I switched out the quilts on the beds this week. I love to do that seasonally, and with the big change in our weather (at last), it seems time to do that. You see the guest room bed above. "Long Road Home", a Bonnie Blue pattern, fun and fast to make believe it or not.…

Company’s Coming
This weekend we are having houseguests and I decided it was high time I got out the rest of the fall decorations. I changed things up a bit this year-always a good thing to keep the seasonal furnishings feeling fresh. Hope my guests won't mind carrion crows pecking at the centerpiece. Anyway, it's always tremendous…

Some Fall Decor
I must be sick or something, because I have not decorated my house for fall in my usual over the top style yet. It has been so darn hot I just can't get into it, even though my heart says it's time. It was 94 here Tuesday. Seriously? I have been either sitting in the…

Fall Fountain
We celebrated Fall by purchasing a Tuscan style fountain for the front porch. A home and garden shop near Sacramento was having a big sale and we decided to make the trip to check it out. My husband, Sara, Eva and I piled in the car for a day trip. I knew it was the…

Happy 4th of July
Hope you all have a safe and sane 4th of July. We will try to beat the heat with cool drinks and perhaps a dip in the pool. Of course there will be a barbecue and maybe even a sparkler or two! I picked up some Teavana peach iced tea at Starbucks that I am…

It’s Summer
It is 103 degrees where I live right now. And maybe hotter tomorrow. Ugh. The temperatures may be a bit much, but I've been cooling off in the pool when I can. Eva brought over a little spray bottle of water this past weekend, and would give Denny and I a big shock every once…

Shocking Revelation
My fun little exercise of going back four years on my blog to see what I was working on then, and where it is now provided a huge eyeopening shock to me. In the photo above, you see hanging various unquilted tops (called flimsies by some). These hanging tops were mostly made in 2015 and…
