  • I don’t have to leave the house until May 3rd.

    I lost a couple of days last week, but I still honestly killed it in the sewing room! My annual round of medical appointments is now over, and I appear to be fine. Best of all, I don’t have to… Continue reading

  • Hello, Spring!

    Well, that’s it for February. I was really good about writing goals for the month in my happy planner, so I was able to go back and see how I did– not too badly! I finished another major quilt, (that’s… Continue reading

  • Almost March

    Well, it’s almost March… how do we feel about that? I’ve had one of the most productive winters in recent memory. I looked at some old photos from March since we moved here, and learned that spring won’t be here… Continue reading

    Last week, as predicted, not much progress. Every day, I had to drive somewhere, except Thursday, and by then I was kaput. When you live in the middle of nowhere, going somewhere usually involves a four-hour round trip. I did… Continue reading

  • Keep calm and sew on…

    My immune system has been getting quite a workout– for over two weeks now, I’ve been battling a huge cold. I’m finally starting to feel good again– wow, it feels good to feel good again after all this time. I… Continue reading

  • What Year Is It?

    When last we spoke, I had an oncoming cold– it was oncoming in the slightest little scratchy throat way for days, which lulled me into the false notion I was beating it. WHAM! I spent three days in bed last… Continue reading

  • Christmas… did you blink?

    This one really snuck up on us and the Christmas tree guy at the farm we went to on Christmas Eve said we weren’t alone! We are never the “put up the tree Thanksgiving weekend” people, but this year, we… Continue reading
