Dog Missing
Last night Sophie went missing. I won't say she was lost, because she knew precisely where she was. It had been pouring rain and hail all day long and she really needed to get out for a minute now that the rain had let up. My son was packing his truck for the trip back…

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
We are having a super rainy day here in the Monterey, CA area. In fact, I was supposed to work at Talbots this afternoon, but got a call from my boss that the Plaza where the shop is located had lost power, and so there would be no work today as all businesses were closed. …

Look What Was Hiding In My Sewing Room
I took the lid off this project box, which I had neglected to label. My jaw dropped and I must have looked down at the contents for a good 30 seconds. How could I have forgotten about this? 25 blocks, in three variations. All colored black, white, and raspberry. I tell you, this must be…

This and That
Gosh, I struck a nerve with my post yesterday. Nobody likes spending a boatload of money on a quilt that has poorly written and non-tested instructions! I think Lisa D hit the nail on the head when she said she suspected a lot of shops plan out their patterns on EQuilter and never bother to…

Coming Together
My big plans to sew for two days straight this weekend were thwarted by a mysterious queasy lethargy that settled upon me and wouldn't let go. I forced myself to complete four rows of the Red and White Snowball Challenge Quilt and like what I see. My son commented that I had taken such a…

Snowball Blocks: Done!
I haven't had much time at the sewing machine this week, due to my dental emergency. I had broken a crown (my back left lower molar) and had an appointment on Wednesday to drive up to Palo Alto to see my dentist, Dr. Wong. He said the crown had to be removed and a new…

Buffy the Backside Slayer
Hello. Welcome to my bathroom. I just got a new beauty product I must share with you. In downtown Carmel, there is a beauty boutique (selling mainly bath products) called Lush. (You don't have to actually go there, there is a website). Lush has made a name for itself as a company that only…
