Your Crock Pot Is Your Friend
Thanks guys, for all your kind words of support yesterday. So I guess my boring life is actually entertaining to some of you… I think some people forget that an individual's blog is a journal of sorts–a record of that person's interests and a diary of their activities. If it ends up being enjoyable reading…

A Little R & R
Here is my Sophie Girl, enjoying her own special version of R&R. She plays hard, and nobody can equal her when it comes to catching a few zzzz's. It's a good thing Welsh Terriers don't shed much. I should make this picture my new blog header. Not. I am going to take off for the…

Inspiration Quilts
I have two quilts I would like to share with you today. A lovely lady named Patt, who reads this blog, emailed me to say she thought I would enjoy seeing them. And I think you will too! Are you as blown away as I am? Isn't this exquisite? She has used the French General collection…

Good Things Come In the Mail
I received a package in the mail this week from someone special, for whom I do a bit of stunt sewing from time to time. I don't know how wise it is, but she rewards me before I actually do any work for her. This is what was in the box: Oh so pretty, but…

Remember Me?
Remember Beach Cottage? I pulled it out last week and started working on the blocks again. A few of you have emailed me to say, what the heck happened to that project? I had intended to finish it long before this! I found some plaid fabrics that coordinate with the florals and may add them in to the mix for…

Dishes Make Me Happy
I have been buying dishes. I do not know what it is about china, but it makes me so happy to acquire it. I have seen these dishes in a couple of places–Susan of Blackberry Creek has at least one, and Wspersweetly of Cottages has an entire set that she used for her 4th of July tablescape. …

Summer Tablescape
Every Thursday I check out a blog called Between Naps on the Porch. Susan has a wonderful blogsite, and every Thursday she hosts something she calls Tablescape Thursday, where she photographs her tablescape of the week and links to other blog sites that are doing the same. It is so much fun to see the creative…

Neptune Border
Hey. Not much going on here. Yesterday I worked on the piano key border for my Neptune quilt, which I had set aside for Madeline and Elizabeth. Gosh, this is a cheerful quilt! Puts a smile right on my face. Love this fabric collection by Tula Pink. It turns out that Tula Pink is not designing for…

Book Review
I have not been sewing this week. After my marathon of quilt tops and hand sewing bindings, I just haven't felt the urge to mess up my nice tidy sewing room. What have I been up to? Reading, that's what. I thought it might be fun to share with you some of the books I…

Mission Accomplished
As I write this, I am about to turn in after a nice holiday weekend with family. We had a great Sunday dinner/birthday celebration/4th of July party at my dad's house. I didn't even have to drive home (Ahren was the designated driver), so I could enjoy my sister Andrea's watermelon margaritas. Better than Jamba…
