Good morning, my friends. It was a very nice day here yesterday. It's still too chilly to be outside, but the sunshine was very nice. It gave me a chance to get out and take a look at what's what in the garden. Of course, the heather has been in bloom for a long time. We planted it because it is a winter bloomer.

Good morning, my friends. The sun is shining this morning. It seems a miracle! It's been at least a week since we saw the sun last time. My first job this morning will be to get outside and fill the bird feeders. Also, I know some of the daffodils are blooming, and so I'll want to wander around and find every blooming thing.
As for yesterday...it was another day of not-much-accomplished. I took the first stitches on September's block for "A Year in the Garden."
And I made some progress on the Painted Ladies. I expect ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. We're expecting plenty of rain over the next week or so...nearly two inches in the next two days. Yikes. It's good sewing weather, though, and I'm glad to be home for the day. I have an early doctor's appointment tomorrow to see what's going on with my left shoulder. I only mention it now because tomorrow's post will be late, and I should have some news about my shoulder by then. Honestly, I don't see how I'm going to avoid a surgery on this, but I'm ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. My post is late this morning because we left early for an epic grocery shopping trip. Honestly, it's the worst grocery shopping trip of the year...that's the first one after we get home from a trip. Thanksgiving gives it a run for its money, but today's was impressive by any measure. Our list was so long that I actually moved some items to the list for next time. Enough is enough, as you probably know.
There were two positives about this morning's shopping extravaganza. First, we got Egg McMuffin. I think ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. Mike announced this morning that we'd only received three hundredths of an inch of rain yesterday. Add that to the full three inches received in the 12 hours previous, and you can see that conditions are dire. At three hundredths of an inch, how can anyone argue that we're not in a drought? We're expecting a similar day of weather today. It'll make the birds happy because I only fill their bird feeders if I can venture out without donning my storm gear.
It was a productive day yesterday. If you've ...

Good afternoon, my friends. Technically, it's still morning as I'm writing this, but it'll be afternoon by the time I finish. We were up and out early this morning. We stopped off for a gourmet breakfast of Egg McMuffins, and then we picked up a long list of grocery items. We were home before 10:00 a.m. Heck, I considered getting back into my pajamas, and then it would almost be like it never happened.

read moreGood morning, my friends. More than expected was accomplished in the sewing room yesterday. I was home from my pedicure just after noon, and that left me with the remainder of the day for sewing. Of course, I couldn't leave in the morning without spending some time with my slow-stitching. This is Tiny Treasure #15.

Good morning, my friends. Our good sewing weather continues. Read that: It's raining. It means plenty of time in the sewing room, for sure. We had our usual bout of Sunday evening cabin fever, and so we went out for dinner last night. If it weren't for grocery shopping and Sunday evenings out, we might become complete shut-ins.
Yesterday's morning stitching had me finishing up the first of twelve Tiny Treasures. This one has stem stitch, lazy daisy, and French knots.
