Psalm 9: Part 3, Literary Living, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There,
    Welcome, and thank you so much for stopping in! Has Spring sprung in your neck of the woods? Here in Southern New Mexico, we have had a mix of hot, cool, and perfect temperatures.  I'm finding recovery slow going, probably due to a sinus infection developing a few days after I was diagnosed with strep.  Talk about a 2 for 1!
    This week, I am happy to guest host Melva’s (from Melva Loves Scraps) Sew and Tell link-up. You will find the link at the bottom of this post.
    Please grab your favorite beverage, sit back ...

Building a Barn from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. Our chat will have to be quick this morning. We're donning our suits of armor in an effort to get Sadie to the vet this morning. She needs her immunizations. It's hard to believe, I know, but this little kitty turns into a bearcat when she's being forced to do something she doesn't want to do.


We still have a few more hours to live. If you don't hear from me tomorrow, you'll know Sadie won the battle.

Yesterday started with me stitching Tiny Treasure #47. This one has stem ...

Final Four from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. Our weather has returned to Portland gloom today. We're expecting sun breaks off and on through the week, but rain most every day. I haven't checked the forecast to see when the sunshine will return, but it won't be for several days. 

My first stop yesterday was to stitch Tiny Treasure #46. This one has stem stitch, satin stitch, and fly stitch.


Since we were out of ice cream, I baked a skillet cherry cobbler for two. (Actually, this is a cobbler for four.) We had only vanilla ice cream, and so the ...

A very slow-stitching project and I Quilted This! from Quilting & Learning

Hi and welcome! I've been busy getting ready for the Out-of-the-box Fibre Artist's show, Fibre Fling 2026. I've done more quilting than art recently so I'm now working hard to finish three art pieces to put into the show. See, UFOs (UnFinished Objects) can come in handy!

Something New from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. Before I say another word, please join me in wishing this handsome hunka mancat a very happy 14th birthday.

My, oh my. How time flies. It seems only yesterday we brought home this little squirt.


He shows his age a little more now. Just like the rest of us, he has good and bad days. (Read that: "fast and slow days.") He's at an age where we know we won't have him for very much longer. Our first cat, Benjamin, lived to be 16. We also had a tortie named Krissy, and she lived ...

Bridge Walk from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. It was a good and tiring day yesterday. As I mentioned, my friend Sue and I walked across a newly-opened pedestrian bridge in the neighboring community of Sherwood yesterday. We started on the far side of the bridge and walked across to where the new high school is located.


It was hard to position myself to see the whole bridge without getting a lot of lamp posts and power lines in my photo.


And then we walked back to where we started and headed on down the road to find the historic part of Sherwood.


We ...

A growing hand embroidered cloth. from contemporary embroidery

 


New panels have been added to this cloth, this wrapping cloth.

You haven't seen it for quite a while because I have been concentrating on paper lately but I often have the urge to go back to cloth and when that happens this is the piece I pick up. 

There are two new panels, one a hand painted and embroidered piece, the other plain white Broderie Anglaise which will be embellished with patchwork flowers. 

I think this is almost finished in terms of the embroidered, front surface.

Now I have to decide what to do with regards to the ...

Early Bird from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. Yes, it's true I said I'd be posting later today if I posted at all. And so if you thought you were going to be able to drink your coffee in peace this morning, you'll be disappointed. Here I am flapping my lips again. There was an early start to my morning, and so I find myself with time to spare.

Since I knew I'd be leaving early this morning, I did this morning's slow-stitching yesterday evening while we watched the news. And so I have two Tiny Treasures to show ...

Psalm 9, Part 2, Fiber Fun, Literary Living, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer



Hello There,
Thank you so much for stopping in!  I sure hope you all are doing better than I am.  It's my birthday weekend and strep throat decided to crash the party.  I've been miserable, but am hopeful the coming week will be better.  My husband, who is an amazing cook, made me a big pot of delicious chicken/vegetable soup!  It's so soothing to my throat.  Thank You, God for antibiotics, my wonderful husband and chicken soup!   
Before I got sick, my husband was also in to mood to paint my sewing room.  The walls are ...

No Sewing Day from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. It isn't often I go a day without sewing, but yesterday was one of those days. Of course, there's almost always time for slow-stitching, and so it isn't exactly true that there was no sewing at all. This is Tiny Treasure #42. It has fan stitch, lazy daisy, stem stitch, French knots and satin stitch.


And then I realized I still had my Easter quilts out with Easter two days gone. So, hop on off, Easter Bunny and make way for some Spring things. On the wall between the kitchen and dining room ...

Wild Things from ... Cat Patches

Good morning, my friends. It was such a beautiful day yesterday, how could I resist getting outside for a walk? Truth is...I couldn't. First, though, I needed to stitch Tiny Treasure #41:

This one has French knots, stem stitch, fly stitch, backstitch, and lazy daisy.

With that finished, I walked around the house to see what was blooming. As I mentioned in yesterday's post, the cherry trees are starting to bloom. It's a good time for them, with plenty of sunshine in the forecast for the coming week. We're hoping for plenty of cherries this ...
