Chain, Chain, Chain
Excuse me Ozzie! I am trying to take a picture here. That's better. This is Licorice Twist, a pattern by Joe Wood (of ThimbleCreek), made with the Dandelion Girl collection by Joanna Figuera (Fig Tree) for Moda. I did all the pattern directed, but you know what? I do not think this quilt is finished. …

Friday Favorites
Activity: My favorite activity lately is sleeping. I have been working every day between my two jobs and the next day off in sight is Monday. I didn't think working retail was all that physically demanding, but standing on your feet for six hours straight, bored out of your mind really wears a person out. …

Simplify
The simplest thing I could think of. Did anyone watch Oprah yesterday? She focused her show on the theme of Doing Without. Two families were chosen to participate in the program, and the deal was, they had to give up all their electronic gadgets for a week. No cell phones, no iPods, no computers, no…

Dandelion Girl and Patisserie
I had two and a half uninterrupted days of sewing this past weekend, and got a couple of projects to the "nearly completed" stage. This is Dandelion Girl, made with a fabric group of the same name, designed by Fig Tree for Moda. The colors are so soothing, in a faded vintagey way. The pattern…

My Stars (and Pinwheels)
My stars, that was a bit of a flurry yesterday! I guess the Grab Bag idea is popular! I will have more of those, you can count on it. Next time, maybe purples and greens. Lots of greens. Thanks to those of you who are helping me clear the stash out. I had a…

Before and After
My sewing room is a total disgrace. Things have gotten so far away from me that I couldn't get in there and find anything, much less SEW. The Tuesday Sales have been a great help in clearing out some shelf space and showing me some hidden treasures I had forgotten I had. See, there…

Enough About Sophie
Hey, everyone, it's me Ozzie. That darn Sophie has been stealing the lime light lately, so I thought I would give you an update on how I am getting along. She is a trial to live with, but I am coping pretty well. As you can see from the picture above (don't I look dapper?),…

Friday Favorites
Friday Favorites! Thought I'd share a few of my faves for this week. Photo: Sophie with a rawhide bone. What can I say? She is intense. Everything she does, she does it full force, no holds back. We have had our issues with this strong willed little dog, but she has been behaving lately. She…

After Work
The clock over the pantry door says it's Wine O'Clock as my dad likes to say. Here I am, home from my day at work, which was a good one, all in all. Time for a restorative and a bit of a walk about the yard. Glorious weather today, it was. About time. Won't you…
