I’m hosting a Galentines Dinner and I’m updating my Valentines decor. The heart strips quilt is on the wall and I have heart pillows spread about. But, of course, I need more! How about a POM POM WREATH? I’ve had these metal wreath forms for a few years. I bought them at Dollar Tree to make a couple of Christmas … ….oh there’s more
I’ve been going through boxes, and closets, and trunks. Tossing, donating, and organizing. Preparing to move. (Of course, our house didn’t sell, nor is it on the market anymore. But it doesn’t hurt to be ready!) Anyhow, I have a drawer in my Creative Cave that has “orphan blocks”–quilt blocks that I made but never used. Several are from testing … ….oh there’s more
Anybody else take their Christmas decor down and immediately put up all the hearts? Okay, I waited a week before I pulled out the Valentine’s decor so I could get some deep cleaning in between the holidays. I think when the hearts get put away, the Easter bunnies might be coming out and that will be followed closely by Summer … ….oh there’s more
I had planned on having this post up last week. But. I ran over my iPhone. With my Jeep. And all the photos for this post were on the smushed phone. I used to be a computer tech and when people crashed their computers and didn’t have a backup I liked to say, “Live by PC, die by PC.” That … ….oh there’s more
I planned on having pics of the LAST quilt that I finished in 2023 posted today. Finished taking all the snaps on Wednesday on my iPhone. Because I’m trying to use it rather than my Canon 35mm DSL. Just easier to carry around and the photos are still really great. Went to ukulele practice. Then returned home intending to write … ….oh there’s more
Really looking forward to 2024. I’m starting it out with a some meanderings about the past year. Happy to say that I broke no bones. Big Yippee on that! (I practice yoga every few days to improve my balance plus do all the weight lifting that is supposed to build up all those supporting balance muscles.) Got some traveling in … ….oh there’s more
Just some pics of our Christmas adventures in no particular order! And I’m back in Florida. I had a wonderful holiday and it’s not over! I am blessed!
....oh there's moreThis year I made TEN beer bags for gifts. I call them beer bags only because I designed them to hold a six pack of beer. But they are also good for other uses–not just holding beer! For one, they are great for storage. This is my stash of Bonnie and Camille fabric which I’ve been saving for a few … ….oh there’s more
This bag. I have been carrying it everywhere. Except in situations where I’m in a crowd and might be jostled. Then it’s this bag. Then I decided that I needed a Christmas-themed bag for upcoming holiday travel. And last month I made this bag. Again, based on a Noodle-head pattern–the Firefly in the Project Size. I had requirements. It had … ….oh there’s more
I have a cookie exchange party every year and it’s the “most happiest day of the year”. Friends and family come in from all over the country. Maybe not just for the cookies (although that is a good reason) but it is an excuse to get together and the timing doesn’t conflict with either Thanksgiving or Christmas. So I should … ….oh there’s more
