Good morning, my friends. There wasn't as much time for sewing yesterday as I'd hoped, but the binding is sewn on the Cats in Pajamas, and that project is on the home stretch. We had almost not a single bite of food in the house for lunch, and so we ended up driving into town for a second McRib. Usually, we limit ourselves to one per seasonal offering, but what the heck, right?
Before we left, I took some time for slow-stitching.

This morning, Patrick was up and out the door to golf. First time in about 3 months. He made enough noise this morning to wake the dead.
I was up shortly after he left. I needed to get moving. Had breakfast and then was out the door. I got my tea on the way to Georgie's. Funny too because I didn't need to stop anywhere beforehand.
I arrived after Sandy. It was just the 4 of us again. I had to leave around 11 to meet up with my PT, Bob, as he had some things he asked ...

Patti stopped by and dropped off a couple quilt tops. Now I have 5 ready to be quilted. My quilters are busy and one said she can't ...
read moreGood morning, my friends, and welcome to November! Sheesh. Can you believe we're into the "holiday season" already? And it’s my favorite time change of the year. For the past week, I’ve been making a list of all the things I’m going to do with my extra hour of time.
Truthfully, time seems to fly by any more. I feel as if we just got home from last winter’s trip south. It makes me think of a conversation I had with one of my graduate school professors. Her name was Maria, and her social work ...

read moreHere we go again, never ending circle of days. And we are back to Saturday. At least I don't have plans today, so I could start working on something I was thinking about.
I went downstairs to hook up my embroidery machine and see what I could do. My table runners arrived today. I had an idea for one of them, but when I was looking at it, it was too tall for the table runner. Took up too much space.
Good morning, my friends. There wasn't much time for sewing yesterday since I spent a good part of the day in the kitchen. Before anything else could begin, however, I needed to finish off the second block for the Quilters' Retweet.

Two jewellery pouches in progress.
The white piece is almost finished. The patchwork piece is just beginning.
When these are drawn up with a drawstring they will be small, delicate and dainty with the base fabric measuring just seventeen inches.
Both will have an embroidered lining and a hand made cord to fasten them.
I am using exclusively Liberty 'Little Mirabelle' Tana lawn for the patchwork.
It's so very pretty.
Good morning, my friends. Well, I'm back after my "pilot episode" of this year's flu. Interestingly (to me, at least), I looked back at several years of posts to see how I'd reacted to these vaccines in the past. In 2025, we got both flu and COVID on the same day…no reaction…not even a sore arm. Then, I looked up my post about our vaccines from 2024, and I had a similar reaction to this year’s vaccine...fever, chills, and feeling generally ill. In 2023, just general malaise. I know the vaccines are ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. Oh, my goodness. We've had some nasty weather the past couple of days. We had nearly half an inch of rain on Sunday. Yesterday brought at least another inch. We're also heavily overcast, making day nearly as dark as night. We're supposed to see just a little clearing today, if you can believe the forecast. As I’m writing this, the rain has stopped. It’s overcast, but not so dark. We’re expecting more nasty weather for the remainder of the week. The weekend looks pretty good, but then more rain next ...

read moreWe celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving this month with the family here as usual. The neat bouquet in a real gourd they brought me is hanging on.
This morning, I had things to do and left early. I had to stop at Colleen's to drop off her dish and towel. Then I headed to DB to get my tea. Next stop was the bank. Finally, I was off to Georgie's.
Bonnie and Sandy came after I did. We had such a good time. Laughing about all kinds of things. We also talked about Bev who passed away about 3 years ago. Found out her husband passed away about 5 weeks ago. Sandy was saying her 4 children were looking for the will. Sandy helped them ...
read moreGood morning, my friends. Hopefully, everyone survived the weekend. It was pretty quiet here. All the tasks from last week are completed. Family has been fed and sent home. Rain has started up. So, it's pretty much business as usual from here on. We're getting our vaccines this morning, but aside from that, we'll be sticking close to home for the next several months. There's going to be plenty of time for sewing.
My morning started with baking some muffins for our breakfast. For years, I cooked a traditional morning breakfast...eggs, some kind of breakfast ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. It's a rainy day today, and we're expecting rain for the remainder of the week. Possibly the Big Dark has arrived. We're not planning our usual Rainbird trip south this year, and so I guess we'd better get used to it. It's good sewing weather, though. I'm hoping to get a lot accomplished today.
We had errands to run in town yesterday, but errands will always take a backseat to slow-stitching. Before we left, I made a little more progress on the second block for the "Pieces of the Heart ...
