How’s It Going? It’s Going
We are making some changes in my father's domestic arrangements that we hope will make things more comfortable and accessible for him. We have set up a television in his bedroom for one thing. Along with a comfortable armchair. One of my sisters ordered a smaller "adjustable bed" for him. He can raise the head…

Life is One Big Juggle Lately
Life seems to be one big juggle lately. I am trying to get all my work assignments for September done this month (along with my normal August workload) in anticipation of being in Ireland next month. I've been trying to get my clothes planned for the trip, an activity I normally enjoy. Lastly, my father's…

Some Sewing Is Happening
I'm not getting a lot done, but I find if I get up to the sewing room super early, like between 6:00 AM and 8:00 AM, I can get a thing or two accomplished. The block above is for Moda Blockheads 4, and is from a previous sew-along I did with Piecing the Past. I…

Ups and Downs
I forgot to show you this new little table topper last week. It is made from some older Sandy Gervais fabrics I had in my stash. It's been over a year since I made it, but I think I may have used one of two charm packs to make it. I don't recall using an…

Showing Moda Blockheads 4 Some Love
Now that the red white and blue blocks are off the design wall, I have room to put another sew-along's blocks up so I can look at them. And wouldn't you know, once they were all up there, I saw four or five that I just didn't like. It just goes to show that it…

Well, This is Progress
It isn't finished, but it's nearly there. I got all the rows put together for the red, cream, and blue quilt I have been working on this summer. It is a BOM from Piecing the Past called Peace and Healing. At least that's what I think it is called. All their BOMs have names that…

Conservative Late Summer Decor
Eva and I put away the red white and blue decor that has been out since May. We aren't full-blown Fall by any means, just some gold colors and lots of sunflowers. This color scheme can stay out until September when we return from Ireland. Then we will go all out Fall. The runner on…

Good Book, Good Movie
My husband and I attended the movie "Where the Crawdads Sing" yesterday at our local movie theater. And you know what? It was pretty great. I have to say, the movie version was 95% true to the book version, which is rare. The main thing I noticed was that the movie was perfectly cast. Almost…

Two Delightful Books
I am in the middle of these two wonderful books right now. Usually I don't read two physical books at a time, but I had started The Bodyguard by Katherine Center and just picked up Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt just to see what all the raving was about, and was hooked. Remarkably…

Putting Midnight Moon Away For Awhile
Midnight Moon is a sew-along I have joined where we make blocks in Halloween fabrics from Carrie Nelson's great book "Summer Moon". In the book, the instructions call for making each of the 28 or 30 blocks in THREE different sizes. The blocks are then framed with half square triangles for the very unique setting.…
