Good afternoon, my friends. We find ourselves in Olympia, Washington, this afternoon. It was a relatively short day of driving to get here. It began with some last-minute packing and preparation, and then, we were on our way. We spotted some fall color as we drove away from our home. I expect we'll a lot more of this as we make our way through Washington.

Good morning, my friends. The past couple of days have been busy, but I found some time for sewing yesterday. So, what have I been up to? Oh...thanks for asking!
A lot of my time has been spent cooking. I made some Frozen Breakfast Burritos, Egg Salad for sandwiches, a lasagna for dinner on the road, and some Jumbo Breakfast Cookies. They're essentially a peanut butter cookie, but they contain raisins, oatmeal and multi-grain Cheerios. We like them as an alternative to Clif bars when we're driving.

Good morning, my friends. It's been a couple of days of this's and thats's. I've been keeping up with my slow-stitching each day. On Tuesday, I stitched far enough to decide to move my hoop up.
For Tuesday's trip into town everything took longer than I thought it would. Happily, I was there early for my haircut and color, and ...

Good morning, my friends. It was a better day of weather yesterday. It clouded over for part of the day, but mostly, we saw sunshine and puffy white clouds. I've looked ahead to our first stop next week. If you can believe the forecast a week out, then we should have good weather for our first stop in Olympia next week. Fingers crossed.
There was just one chore on my list yesterday...mopping the floor. Mike helps me with that since there are some heavy things to move out of the way. He always does the sweeping too. With ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. We were both a little slow off the starting block yesterday morning. It was nearly lunch time before I managed to do anything productive. Usually, I’d be making pancakes on a Sunday morning, but Mike made waffles instead. We thought our weather would be better, but it rained a good part of the day. Smitty sat looking longingly outside, wishing he could find the door that leads to summer.

Good morning, my friends. Our weather is improving somewhat. We saw some blue sky and sunshine yesterday. If the forecast is to be believed, we should start seeing less rain over the coming week. We're still keeping our fingers crossed for good weather when we travel to Washington. We have lots of hiking planned, and it'll be nicer if we don't have to don our rain gear.
Before we get too far afield, I have a couple of patterns to give away. [Edited to say both patterns are spoken for. Sorry.] Usually when I'm finished with ...

Good morning, my friends. It was another rainy day yesterday. There was a meme on Facebook from a Portland weatherman that said, "Hello darkness my old friend." It made me laugh. Yep...that's the Pacific Northwest for you. We're told we have at least another ten days of gray skies and rain off and on. Hopefully, summer will return, and we'll have good weather for our trip, but we should all pack our rain gear just in case.
As for yesterday's sewing, Sadie was my sewing helper. Together, we got a lot done.

Good morning, my friends. Okay, September 1st is over, and on we go with what remains of summer. It was a good day for sewing here. There was enough progress made on the Plaid Cat that I decided to move my hoop. The green stripes on the cat need to be stitched first because the purple stripes are stitched over the top where they intersect. I'd taken the green stripes about as far as I could go without moving to a different position.
