Ozzie Goes To The Beach
istockphoto The weather has been quite spectacular here in the Monterey Bay area, so I decided to take Ozzie for a walk on the beach. He had such a relatively successful time at his first dog training class, and I thought he deserved a bit of a reward. It was a sunny day, temps in…

Hit the Ground Running
I think I mentioned a few posts ago that I have been invited to teach Miss Rosie quilt patterns at my favorite local quilt shop. I had two quilts in mind for this spring calendar session, with the idea that I would teach one class in March and the second one in May. I received…

Drumroll Please
We have a winner! Cindy of Too Much Fabric, Too Little Time has without a doubt the messiest work space I have ever seen. She has PILES of things. What a colossal mess. Her hands must have been shaking with fear as she took this picture, because it is a teensy bit blurry. I had…
