My Latest Distraction
My latest distraction from reorganizing my sewing room is this little mini quilt in the Corn and Beans block. I got my little pieces all cut out and sorted with my Alphabitties. If you don't have Alphabitties, you might want to consider adding some to your collection of sewing notions. They are double sided plastic…

Corn and Beans
I did make it up to the sewing room yesterday, with the idea that my re-organization would commence. I started with the dresser and this adorable little kit was in the first drawer I opened.

Happy Easter

Desert Days

And the Adventure Continues
Last week was really something friends. And that would not be something good. After my last post, Sara, Eva and I all came down with a violent form of the stomach flu, also known as norovirus. I would not wish that on my worst enemy. I will spare you the details but after 48 hours…

Welcome to the Infirmary
I believe I may be getting over my cold. Which is a good thing. I have had Eva since the beginning of the month because her daddy is traveling, and she has suddenly come down with the stomach flu. The less said about that the better, but the up shot is, she has been sick…

Under the Weather
Sorry for the lack of content the past few days. I find myself in the grip of a cold and not good for much. Hopefully I will be back soon.

Aunt Addie’s Quilt is Growing
I couldn't help myself. I just had to make week 2 and week 3 blocks for the Aunt Addie Mystery Sew Along. The blocks are fun, and I am enjoying my teal and brown fabrics from my stash. Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 I keep worrying that I won't like the quilt when the…
