Pantry Organization
Have you heard about OXO Good Grips Pop storage containers? If you have a pantry to organize, you might want to check them out. They are air tight, stackable and extremely space efficient. Not cheap, but if you pick up a couple each week, before you know it, your pantry will look wonderful. I love the…

This and That
I didn't get to post early this morning as I usually do. Two issues were behind the situation. One, I didn't have much of interest to share, and two, Sophie and I took a nap when I got home from work yesterday afternoon. Typically I will compose a post or two a day or so…

Decisions to Make
I know this is supposed to be a quilting blog for the most part, but it is also a journal of what is going on in my life. Right now, what is going on in my life is some labor intensive stunt sewing, and some redecorating of my house. I can't share any pics of…

A Change Gonna Come
I had to share my daffodil bouquet with you all. It was my Springtime treat for myself. The weather has been so lovely this week, that I decided to bring out even more Easter decorations, including my Suicide Bomber Bunny. That is what Dad called him when he saw him. Honestly. My decorations don't get…

iPod Woes
I have had my iPod for several years. There are more elaborate versions available now, but since mine is perfectly serviceable, I decided that I am not ready to upgrade at this time. So what's the problem? Well, when I got this iPod, I had a Mac computer. All my tunes were downloaded on this…

The Love Quilt
I realize that it is St. Patrick's Day, not St. Valentine's Day, but I think you will see that this post is appropriate anyway! You see, my son has fallen in love with an Irish girl from Galway. And he asked me to make her a quilt to express his regard for her. She is…

Ozzie Update
Since Ozzie is up in Palo Alto during the week, I haven't been spending as much time with him lately. He does come home on the weekends with my husband, and we catch up on all the affection we have missed during the week (not just Ozzie but my husband too of course!). I spent the…

An Abundance of Riches
I received a package in the mail this weekend from the very generous designer for whom I have been doing some stunt sewing. It came completely out of the blue and surprised the heck out of me! Inside the package were a ton of layer cakes, charm packs, her latest patterns, and a lovely note…

Still Cleaning
I ask you, how many pairs of jeans does one woman need? I've been spring cleaning my closets this week, and have decided that I have been hanging on to too many pairs of jeans. Face it, the size 8s probably are not going to fit me again in this lifetime. They only fit for…

I Need a Vacation
I need a vacation. Some place warm. With a view of water. I am all ready to go. Cute tote bag? Check. White roll up cuff capris? Check. Honestly. It is so darn cold and windy around here, it isn't even funny any more. I want some sunshine. Temps at least somewhere in the 70's. …
