Back From the Emerald Isle
I'm back from my trip to Ireland, and yes, it really does look like the photo above! We had a wonderful time visiting our son and feel even stronger that we would love to have property in Ireland to live in for at least part of the year. We came home to a horrendous heat…

Feathers and Nippy Weather
I made another Feathers block, and fixed the first one I had put together incorrectly. Hopefully by the time I make a half dozen or so of these little blocks I will have the hang of it and not have to do so much un-sewing! Not much sewing for me this past weekend, as my…

A Little Family Get Away
We have been on a little family vacation. It has been raining pretty non stop in the area where we live, so we decided to spend Eva's Spring Break in a warm sunny place.! That would be Palm Desert, one of my favorite vacation spots. There were desert flowers galore, and plenty of sunshine, so the…

Busy Week, Out and About
It's a busy week around here, so I doubt I will get any sewing in until Thursday, if I am lucky. I hope to post again on Friday. This past weekend I was able to get all my units made for the Buzz Saw blocks. I am all set to start sewing those blocks together…

Out and About
Wasn't that moon something? Obviously I do not have a camera that does it any sort of justice, but I certainly enjoyed watching it come up last night. When I told Eva to look through the trees at the moon she said she couldn't see it, she could only see the sun. I explained that…

What a Week
Well for Heaven's sake. We go away for a few days family vacation and the whole country falls apart. We were in the Happiest Place on Earth, which, truth to tell, wasn't. It was our worst Disneyland experience in the 30 some years we have been going. The weather was hot, in the low 90s, which…

Outer Border on Steam Punk
In honor of my Year of Getting It Done, I put the outer border on my Steam Punk quilt. This special quilt called for a border, but a subtle one. I think the off white print fits the bill, allowing the focus to be on those glorious spinning propeller blocks. This will go out for…

Bon Voyage
I won't be posting until the end of the week. I have some fun to attend to with my family! Hope you all had a great weekend, and I will fill you in on my doings when I get back in a couple of days.

The Happiest Place on Earth
I bet you can guess where I am this week. Yup, Disneyland. All decorated for the holidays, the Magical Kingdom has gone all out with their festive decor. My husband and I are in Southern California for a few days, and had to make a visit to the park one of our stops. I think…

Trip to the Pumpkin Patch
Look! It's a Pumpkin Patch! They had scary scarecrows. And witches and ghosts and all sorts of Halloween things. Corn maze. We got lost. Nana was sure we weren't ever going to find our way out, but we did. Then I picked out a green pumpkin. And a white pumpkin… In fact, we…
