A Lot Of Nothing Going On
Nothing major going on around here. Or maybe I am wrong and a lot of something is actually happening. I was Good Cop in my talk with Grandpa. Everyone else has been reading the poor man the riot act after his falls last week. I emphasized how he was incredibly lucky that he had not…

Am I Figging Out?
I surely seem to be obsessed with my Fig Tree stash lately. Am I in danger of Figging Out? Well, wigging out maybe, but not due to my total immersion in this pretty fabric. So far, these lovely soft tones are just what I need to soothe my my raggedy psyche. I finished up three…

What’s On My Design Wall
Hey, everyone, how is your week going? My Wednesday was a lot better than the earlier part of the week, that's for sure. I finally said "No" to a commitment that has been making me unhappy and stressing me out, and I feel as if the weight of the world has been lifted off my…

Home Again
We had a marvelous vacation last week, and arrived safely back home in time for a little Father's Day barbeque. The lake in the photo above is Mosquito Lake, which we passed on our way home. Since it was Father's Day, we indulged my son in law a stop. He just couldn't resist. This guy…

Tiny Pins, Tiny Needle…

First Vacation in a Very Long While
The kids and I are on a little vacation this week at Lake Tahoe. We aren't staying at my favorite place, but this will do. We are up on a hill overlooking Carson Valley, which is in Nevada. I feel like we are up in an airplane, we are up so high! Tomorrow we hope…

Is It Them, Or Is It Us?
Have you all been following the debate on Humble Quilts? On her blog this week, Lori posted a thoughtful comment on how in her opinion, quilting magazines have not been all that exciting lately. In fact, she feels the quality is so lacking that she is letting her subscriptions go (even to American Patchwork &…

Welcome to the Mug Rug Factory
I've been bit by the Mug Rug Bug. These little drinks coasters make such great gifts, and are so easy to whip up. Yesterday I got up at the crack of dawn and got started on making five sets of four coasters. I worked on them for about six hours and completed 20 patchwork blocks…
