Let Them Eat Apple Cake
I picked up this magazine at the grocery store the other day. I love Cook's publications since the recipes are super well tested and come out great more often than not. A collection of their All Time Best Recipes was too good sounding to pass up. I have been browsing through it and decided to…

Little By Little
Little by little is the way this quilt is going to get done! I managed to make six blocks over three day's time. Well, so be it. The 64 blocks I need will be done at some point if I keep this up. Little by little Flowers for Clara will become a quilt. Hey, did…

October Gave a Party, Indeed
My sister Andrea had a great picture on her blog post today. October Gave A Party was the title of her blog post. It's the first line in a poem by George Cooper called "October's Party". It's October people! How the heck did that happen, I ask you? Sheesh. The picture in Andrea's post is…

I’m A Starter
I'm a Starter. Someone used those words in a comment to me on yesterday's post. The words rang true. So often I get very excited about tackling a new project. I am full of passion, fire, and determination. I set a goal and prepare everything I need to succeed in my endeavor—whatever it is. I…

Taking Stock
I have cut back my work hours substantially, my husband is away all week long, and I can now sew until midnight if I wish to. Full of eagerness to get into my sewing room and get something accomplished, I stopped short upon gazing at the UFO's I have stacked up. Hmmm, I sure do…

Opening Day Quilted
Thanks for all the offers of sympathy after my bikini waxing incident. I have decided that once one reaches a certain age, a bit of hair on the upper thigh is not going to be noticed. By anyone. And the glass of wine in the picture was for medicinal purposes AFTER I caused myself the…

Do Not Try This At Home
Now this seemed like a really good idea at the time. A home waxing kit. You can save hundreds of dollars over time by doing your own waxing. Got a fuzzy chin? Zip it off in the privacy of your own home. Got a little mustache going on? Take care of it yourself and save…

I’m A Happy Camper!
My favorite Quilting Rock Star sent me a new project to work on for her. These adorable little rolls are called Honey Buns–1 1/2 inch wide strips of one complete fabric line rolled into these irresistible packages. The fabric is Happy Campers by American Jane (Sandy Klop) for Moda. Sandy's designs are always, and I…

On Our Own
We girls are on our own. Since my dear husband has found employment in the Big City, he and Ozzie will live away during the week. Sophie and I are fending for ourselves. Our first step was to get some beauty treatments. Sophie went to the doggie beauty salon and I bought a home waxing…
