  • It's Monday… Blog Day!

    Who would ever guess Monday morning would be the best time for me to do a blog post! But that’s how it is working out. I’m guessing it’s because the weekends are jam packed with activity during the summer– lots… Continue reading

  • A Waste of Time…

     Another week flew by! Spring has been stubborn here– we had snow flurries on Thursday. My creative juices are also in need of a thaw, sad to say.  Making stuffed pears was my therapy this week. Sounds delicious, but, no,… Continue reading

  • A Stitcher's Life… months of boredom, moments of sheer terror

    A little late on my weekend post– I’ve been struggling with allergies lately and had to spend a half a day in bed on Saturday. Nausea and a headache– that’s a combination where my trusty high threshold of pain fails… Continue reading
