Reconnecting with Viola
Despite a rather busy weekend, I managed to squeeze in a couple of hours of sewing, and reconnected with my Viola project. I do like how this is coming together, except for the fact that my red flower vases look almost identical to the pink ones. I may have to see what lighter pinks are…

Apple Season
I've been working like a crazy person this week, which is a good thing. The shop was closed for five days during the recent fires, so I sure wasn't earning any money. So, with putting in the extra hours, I haven't been spending too much time at my sewing machine. What I did do a…

Tidbit
This is Tidbit, a Little Bites pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company. I just had to make it. Had to. The pattern has three versions, all very cute. I made the smallest one, which measures 16.5" by 19.5". I seem to really be into these small projects lately. I love to use them with seasonal…

It’s Fall Y’all
I tell you, I have been busy lately, but not too busy to get out the fall decorations! I enjoy sharing photos around the house with you, but mainly I like having a record of what I did so I can replicate it the following year. I make some changes here and there, but when…

Getting It Done
I know, how sad and pathetic is this? A portable potty, a shower stool, a walker and a four footed cane. At long last, we sold the house we had Grandpa Larry living in. It was on the market for over a year. Most of the furniture and odds and ends had already been disposed…

Hen Pecked
Just look at this teeny tiny, just bigger than a coffee cup cozy, quilt. It measures 10.5 by 11.5 inches and went together in no time flat. Those half square triangle squares measure one inch! It is called Hen Pecked and is one of the Kim Diehl Simple What Nots offerings. Seriously, I joined…

Stir Crazy Projects
Things have been pretty rough around here for the past week, as you all know. Most of my time has been spent scavenging for news of the fire on my laptop. I have not been able to concentrate very well on Viola, which really deserves my full attention. I picked it up and messed about…

Things Are Getting Back to Normal For Some of Us
There is a remarkable photographer in our area, named John Slot, who has gone into the fire zone every day since the conflagration began. He has made a photographic documentation of what he has seen, and reported it every day on Facebook. His news, both good and bad, has been such a relief to people…

Heroes Come In All Shapes and Sizes
I have to share this amazing story with you all. My husband went in to work Monday to check on things and one of his employees had an incredible story to tell. Her father has a ranch in the fire zone, and on Friday night they were evacuating their livestock to safety. Obviously you can't…

Where To Begin
It feels like our world is burning up. There are some terrible fires going on in California, and one of them is right near where I live. We have been under "advisory evacuation" notice for a few days, and actually have our suitcases packed with valuables, medications and important papers should we need to…
