Designer Mystery Block of the Month Progress
In between breaking up dog fights (a REALLY bad idea, I found), I did get some sewing done this past weekend. I was in a mood to sit down and accomplish something tangible in a brief period of time, and managed to complete two blocks from the Designer Mystery BOM that Fatquartershop has going…

Girl Trouble
This is Sophie. Isn't she pretty? Isn't she sweet? The answer is Sometimes. Even Usually. But something is happening to Sophie that she doesn't understand, and it is making her very cranky. She is going through her first "season", to use a euphemism. Having only had male dogs, this was certainly new to us. …

Gift From a Friend
I entered a blog contest hosted by Carrie at La Vie en Rosie and won the lovely loot pictured above. I wasn't the only winner, as it seemed that everyone who entered the contest won something! Carrie has a new blog, and if you haven't discovered it yet, you need to go right over there…

Something I Can Count On
Our weather here in California has been unseasonably, if not freakishly warm lately. In the mornings there is just a hint that cooler times may be ahead, but it doesn't take too long for the sun to warm things up and for it to get quite toasty. Our friends down the coast in Montecito are…

Art by Carolyn Watson. Print available at www.art.com I have to apologize about something. Usually, I am so careful to give credit when I use an image that isn't mine. I really slipped up last week when I posted "Quilting, Then and Now". I used an image I found when I Googled "quilting bee" or "women…

What’s Cookin’?
I am a huge Ina Garten fan. Not so much of her TV show on Food Network, but of her cookbooks. On TV, she seems a bit smug and pretty sure that her friends must be a heck of a lot cooler than mine. However, her recipes never fail and her cookbooks are total…

New Fabric!
I have been on a budget enforced fabric diet for three or four months now. It has not been fun, but simply necessary. I don't know about the rest of you, but my spending has really been restricted in this "economic downturn". I am lucky I can still scrape together enough cash to have…
