Update on Dog Training
Ozzie and I continue to attend dog training classes. Our instructor is a lovely, blond, fit, tough as nails young woman who is a police officer. We are fortunate that she is available to teach dog training classes on her day off. She is working towards becoming in charge of the Canine Unit on her…

Fat Quarter Game
I need your help. I’ve been planning a quilting retreat that is scheduled for this Friday, and I need some ideas for games to play with the girls while we are there. I have heard of a game that is played with fat quarters that sounds like it would be really fun. It is called…

Odd Things About Me
Suzy tagged me to list seven weird things about myself. The mind boggles. Me? Weird? If you only knew. I will try to come up with seven odd things that won’t be TMI. OK, here goes. 1) My husband and I eloped. We ran off to Reno and got married in one of those drop-in…

Organization 101
Since I had to get all this stuff up off the floor so we could shampoo the rug in the sewing room, I finally forced myself to label and arrange my works in progress. I can’t tell you how good this feels, to finally address my current issue of too many unfinished projects. I counted…

Company’s Coming
Lisa comes in six days! Oh my gosh. This house is a mess. I can’t let her see it like this. When my husband looked at me fondly this morning and said, "What shall we do with this beautiful Saturday?", he was definitely NOT expecting my answer. "We need to shampoo the carpets". He has…

My Progress is Like a Lava Flow
So, I woke up this morning and thought, "OK, this is the day I get organized! All my UFO’s will be catagorized and sorted as to finishing date. I will devote this entire day to that activity and my life will change for the better." I went into the sewing room, gazed around for a…

Extreme UFO Situation: Intervention Needed
I apologize for the lack of any quilty posts lately. For some reason, I just have not gotten into my sewing room this week, except to sleep at night to get away from my DH’s snoring and coughing. (TMI?) I sure will be glad when this virus of his goes away! I do miss the…

Egg On My Face
I take back every single nice thing I ever said about him. I never should have bragged about how dog training was going so well. Ozzie is incorrigible and will never be a good dog. Ever. These are brand new designer shoes I paid a bloody fortune for, and wore for a total of about…
