I took a break from quilting, and did a bit of cross stitching. During one of my perusals through a quilting blog ( I can’t remember the blog name) I came across this most wonderful cross stitching blog, The Snowflower Diaries. Maja has exquisite little cross stitch designs, and she shares her designs for free. […]

I just can’t seem to stop signing up for swaps when I see them. Wendy at Ravenwood Whimzies hosted a Fall Pin Keep Swap. I was paired with Michelle of Simple Pleasures. Funny, until I stumbled onto Wendy’s blog, I didn’t know what a pin keep was. Since then, I have made several as gifts. […]

Happy Pink Saturday! Thank you to Beverly at How Sweet The Sound for hosting this weekly event. Even though dear daughter never took ballet lessons, I adore this ballerina salt & pepper shaker. She always wanted to do what her older brothers did, and that meant playing ice hockey… We retired her from the sport after […]

I have had a happy few days sitting around with dear daughter. As most of her friends have already left for College, and adding to that her wisdom teeth extraction, she has been a homebody the last few days. So, as I sat around with her, I got the idea to do a Zentangle Challenge […]

As if the Quilty Barns weren’t cute enough, Lori Holt of Bee In My Bonnet added a new Quilty Silo Barn to her Quilty Barn Along. I think she is planning 9 blocks, but I may just make an additional three. Here are the first four. I made the barns all different colors. And I […]

This is my monthly garden post, but first, I wanted to show off dear daughters new racing bike. She has great plans with it in college… She has fallen off of it three times already! (something to do with getting used to clips) But I shouldn’t laugh, while waiting for her at the bike shop, […]

August is such a hot month around here. I’ve kept busy, but haven’t sat down long enough in front of my computer to post. Anyway, here is my Quilty Barn #10 & Vintagy Farm Girl Tractor Label Block of Lori Holts Quilty Barn Along. Lori came up with this cute tractor block to use as […]

Happy Pink Saturday! Thank you to Beverly at How Sweet The Sound for hosting this weekly event. Here is Quilty Barn #9 of Lori Holt’s Quilty Barn A Long. The wind was kicking up a bit when I tried taking these photos. I think there are three more barns to go, and then there are also […]

When I saw the latest issue of Mollie Makes, I decided to make dolls #5 & #6. The instructions and the patterns seemed a bit unclear when it came to the head, so I added a bit of a neck – too much I think. And, of course I deviated from the pattern further by […]

I just got my sewing machine extension work table – yayyy! Now I have everything to quilt, except for my machine quilting skills. My instructor said you need 24 hours, or was it 48 hours? of practice before you become somewhat adept. So, with my usual can do attitude ( only for things that I […]

Happy Pink Saturday! Thank you to Beverly at How Sweet The Sound for hosting this weekly event. Our dear younger son celebrated his 21st birthday recently. Before putting some of the decorations away, I thought I’d share the pinky ones for Pink Saturday:
