Woodsy Wallhanging

I dont remember the correct name for this pattern…. I was told and promptly forgot.  Its just a small wallhanging, but darn cute.

So, did you all go shopping today?  We did.  Can you believe it?
We had to get up early (6am) to get to my 8am mammogram appointment.  Steve decided to tag along so he [...]

Kitchen Bitch and WIP Wed

My pre-thanksgiving chores started last nite.  I made potato soup using Terri’s delicious recipe.  Since I had to chop onions and celery for that, I chopped the rest for the turkey stuffing.  It is in the fridge, ready for tomorrow.
So, the day before Thanksgiving is the day I am the chief kitchen bitch! Steve takes [...]

Peter Rabbit Quilt

I dont know for sure if this Peter Rabbit, but I think it is.
Whatever it is, it is one of my favorite quilts ever.  I have such a hard time picking pastels that I appreciate it when someone else can do it so well.  This was a fun one to have in our studio.

Little Goldie Goldfish

I have a fish that hangs in our studio above my Gammill longarm quilt machine.   As soon as I saw them in the store, I bought one to send my sister.  A week later, I went back to get one for myself.  Her name is Goldie.
As a little girl, one of my first memories, is [...]

My Good Samaritan Man

Every winter Steve has had to help the school bus or a neighbor or client get their vehicle (bus, car, pick up) out of the ditch along the road when we have heavy snow.  He just starts up a tractor, gets the heavy chains and goes to work.  Today was a new event for him.
This [...]

Survivor Gabon

We have watched Survivor since the first season, but I never paid much attention to it until this season.  For some reason, I love the mix of people this year.
Tonite was the BEST episode ever!  It isnt worth explaining, but if you watched, you will know what I mean.  Steve and I roared with delight!  [...]

Foreboding Skies

We have had several days of foreboding skies ….
and several days of snow.
This is just the beginning of winter.  When it still is ok that winter is here…. when trees are pretty when frosted with snow.  When the sky looks foreboding but kind of pretty in a weird, dark way.  When jammie days and a [...]
