Happy Autumn
My husband and I had to go out on Saturday to attend a memorial service. It was sad of course, as these affairs usually are. The deceased was a wonderful man who died way too soon after fighting a long battle with cancer. I have to speak candidly (when do I not?). I have…

Web Sampler Confession
I agreed to participate in a Web Sampler Challenge with Perry, Cindy, Nancy, and Lisa. The deadline was September 1. I loved the fabric (leftovers shown above) and the blocks turned out very pretty. There were issues with the border instructions in the finishing kit I chose, so I was planning on making a…

Mermaids in the Octopus Garden
My daughter Sara came down for the weekend and we planned to spend our time sewing together. She brought the most adorable fabric for a new project. It is Mendocino by Heather Ross for Free Spirit. It is so whimsical and fresh vintagey looking in shades of brown, aqua, pink, and rust. Don't…

A Sign
Remember this? From my post a week or so ago? The meager amount of sewing I had managed to accomplish lately? I had it laid out on the rug in the sewing room to take the picture, and just left it there. (I know, it was dumb, but I did close the door after…

Separated at Birth
Isn't it amazing how similar they are? They actually are brother and sister (same parents, two different litters). Just like you and your siblings, unless you are a twin. Twins would be the same litter, don't you know? Since there has certainly been no sewing going on around here for ages (BIG sigh), I…

Secrets
I have a good friend who is my best shopping buddy. We love to talk on the phone about the latest fashion trends, the gorgeous out-of-our-budget purse we are coveting, and the sensational End Of Season Shoe Sale at Macy's. We talk every week, see each other often, and enjoy seeing one another look…

Last Days of Summer
I can feel the end of summer in the air. Every September, usually just as the kids are returning to school, we have a heat wave. I remember just having moved to California from Michigan and starting 7th grade at a new junior high. The first day of school it was 107 degrees. We…

Livin’ the Good Life
Sophie and Ozzie have settled in beautifully to life at our house. It didn't take Sophie long to figure out she could lay claim to the other chair in the family room. That is Ozzie on the right looking rather regal, and Sophie on the left. Sometimes they cuddle up together in the same chair,…

Company Picnic
What a lovely weekend I had. I invited my entire family over for a Sunday barbeque in my back yard. Most of them turned up and we had around 20 people. Is there anything better than having your loved ones over? I live about 70 miles away from most of the family, so it is…
