Fast Eddie’s
My husband and I tried to grow tomatoes this year, but the results have been so disappointing. I think we put in seven plants, and while we do have a few tomatoes, the crop is very small and the tomatoes on the vines don't look that great. However, my son-in-law knows a guy. A former…

Halloween 1904 A Blast From the Past
This is nuts, but I am really terrible about taking the final step to have my quilt tops quilted. It is expensive for one thing, and I (used to at least) make a lot of quilts. This quilt is called Halloween 1904 and was a pattern put out by Blackbird Designs in 2012 I think.…

Americana Circus Tent
I am calling this my Americana Sew Along Sampler Quilt. I made it as a block of the month saga during COVID. It was a sew-along sponsored by Debbie at Piecing the Past Quilts. I forget the name of the sew-along, Comfort and Joy, Peace and Happiness? I forget. It is my Americana Circus Tent.…

I Had One Block In Me
This is the third block in the Halloween Figs sew along, hosted by The Quilt Spot. I tell you, this block took a minute. The half-square triangles measured 2 5/8", so using triangle papers wasn't an option. I made them a bit bigger and trimmed them down to size, and everything came together beautifully. As…

Why Can’t I Get Anything Done?
Why can't I get anything done? Ahem. This naughty boy would be the reason. He actually is fairly mellow, compared to other dogs I have owned, but he is a puppy, and therefore, a handful. He demands a lot of attention, that is for sure. He is a total sweetheart, and we love him, but…

Life with Archie So Far
Cuteness overload here. Archie is adjusting very well to living with us. His breeder is from Nevada and lives in an area where Parvo is a terrible problem, so he had been kept inside for the four months of his life until we got him. He had been trained to use a cat litter box,…

Introducing…..Archie
We have a new puppy! This is Archie, a Wire Hair Terrier. He is four months old and is the sweetest little guy ever. I hope I don't jinx things by saying he seems to have a rather mellow personality! He has yet to bark or make a sound of any kind. We are taking…

Family Vacation at Lake Tahoe
Ahren arrived safe and sound, with all his luggage (a miracle as far as I am concerned). We have been cooking up a storm, making his favorite meals. We are staying up at Lake Tahoe as I write this, and we made homemade pasta to take with us in the morning before we left. Ahren…

Company’s Coming and That’s Not All
Company is coming! Our son Ahren is coming out for a rare summer visit, and his plane has landed in San Francisco. He and my husband have a three-hour drive to get home in the evening commute traffic, but they are on their way. I've got chile verde in the crock pot and a cold…
