An Hour in the Sewing Room and Two Trim Tools
I have decided to take my own advice and try to sew for one hour a day. Back in 2009 I was working two jobs and not getting enough sewing done. I made a promise that I would try to squeeze in one hour of sewing each day. No matter what I had to give…

This and That, Around the House
I sure don't have a lot to share today, but felt I should hop on with some sort of post. I'll just get chatty about nothing I guess! I have a couple of new things around the house, so I will start with those. My Keurig coffee maker finally bit the dust, so we replaced…

A Wooly Bun Pincushion
My Little House pins arrived, as did my new "Wooly Bun" pincushion. I love this little purple ball of wool. My new pins slid right into it like buttah. I am so tired of getting jabbed every time I reach for a pin in my magnetized pin dish, so this will be a welcome change.…

Books Read in February 2022
February 2022 was another great reading month for me. I read 12 books. Two in print, three on audio, seven digital (Kindle). I seem to be selecting books better than before, based on my higher ratings. Four of the books I read were 5 stars for me, and four of them were 4 stars. None…

My “To Be Read” List Just Got Longer
I've blown my spending allowance on books rather than fabric lately. The books in the photo above are new releases that I just couldn't resist. Three of them are Book of the Month selections. The Love of My Life is the Good Morning America book club choice for March. The others I bought from my…

Flea Market Progress and Wonder Woman Goes To School
All the little Churn Dash blocks for the Flea Market quilt along are finished. I can now start on the next round, which is made up of basket blocks. I do love a basket block. These will go a bit slower I imagine. I think just three are assigned in a month. I have to…

A Chilly Weekend
This is what 96 looks like. My father has been without heat from his furnace for a month and it looks like it will stay that way until the end of March. His furnace died and the part that is needed is not going to be available for a long time. It is probably sitting…

Just a Regular Day
Not much happening around here. Eva and I made Lemon Poppyseed Bread, or as Eva calls it "Lemonseed Poppy Cake". It turned out great, but I should have taken it out at 55 minutes rather than 60. Ozzie is hoping against all reason that we will cut him a slice. That's the great thing about…

Coming Out of a Long Weekend
We had a nice long four-day weekend here in the US and it's taking me a bit to come out of it. I spent most of it with my father, and worked all day Monday on some writing assignments. I came home to see this amaryllis that my husband gave me for Christmas on our…

Let’s Talk About Pins
Can we talk about pins? Do you have a favorite quilting pin? Do you find after a period of time your pins become dull, or begin to "catch" on your fabric? Have you ever used a pin cushion that seemed to rust or otherwise deteriorate your pins? And finally, do you ever just dump all…
