The Big Thaw
We are finally thawed out here on Friday. When I left the shop Thursday the ice was finally melting from Tuesday’s sleet show, it was sure strange for the past few days to have had ice on the roof tops … Continue reading
Antiquing and Sewing
Antiquing and sewing, I think that is the perfect combination! I got to go to Warrenton antiquing a few weeks ago with Mary. Oh my, we had a great time, but it was crazy hot! I thought I would show … Continue reading
The Hardest Part

All Dressed Up!
Monday was a great day; I cut out and sewed my Clubhouse block that I got on Saturday. I sure like how it came out and then I got all involved in my little dresses. I was able to get … Continue reading
Left the Sink
I got my lovies done for the retreat right before it was time to leave – I had to burn the midnight oil, hopefully next time I won’t wait until the very last minute. Wednesday morning I packed up headed … Continue reading

Remove Dysfunction!
Can you believe that today is the first day of March? How are you doing with your word that you picked in January? Mine was “remove”, I like that I’m able to add a word to it to make it … Continue reading

I’ve been working on my Dancing Umbrellas little by little and trying to get those stitched out, but it seems like it is taking me longer than I thought it would. Or maybe those little zigzags just zap the time! … Continue reading

Missing in Applique
Well it has been a couple of days since I’ve written, I thought I had better say hello again. I’ve been watching grandchildren and recovering from that. Yesterday, after Wyatt left I think I only watched movies and old movies, … Continue reading

One Down and Many to Go
