This is a bowl of leftover green beans (DH does not like green beans) and pickled beets (DH also does not like pickled beets, the weirdo) and feta cheese.
These were two beauties that both wanted the pantograph Modern Curves.
I'm reading Her Turn by Katherine Ashenburg. It's a good book, and I noticed that each chapter represents a week. Since I haven't posted in quite a while I thought I'd borrow that format.
Feb 6 - 12
I started the week by giving myself another covid haircut. I was due for a proper cut at the beginning of January, but it's not like anyone cares what I look like. 37 years married...if you get my drift. Most of the time DH is happy if he notices that my shoes are still in the closet ...
read moreToday is my 20th wedding anniversary to this guy. To say that I feel lucky doesn’t begin to tell the whole story. We met at a Christmas party on Christmas Day in 1998. Neither of us were expecting to meet the person that would completely change our lives, and yet, that’s exactly what happened. I… Continue reading Marriage & An Anniversary
read moreI’ve been thinking about relationships a lot. Perhaps that’s because I’m coming up on my 20th wedding anniversary with this awesome man. Our relationship has seen its ups and downs, but we are committed to doing the hard work of showing up for each other no matter how painful and difficult that may be. As… Continue reading A Commitment to Show Up
read moreThis has sashing with cornerstones and an outer print border.
OMG that is a beautiful print.I chose an Asian-style pantograph to pair with the Japanese fabric.
GARDEN REPORT
DH dug all the remaining potatoes. We had a bumper crop this year, in spite of the dry summer. Watering every week produced some great tomatoes and the wonderful pile of 'taters.
IF YOU LIKE CABBAGE: I put in six ...
read moreI seem to have put my blog posting on the same schedule as my house cleaning...pretty darned infrequently! My new system for cleaning is to keep an eye on a couple of the pictures hanging on the wall - if I notice gooey, stringy cobwebs hanging off them I make myself vacuum some time in the following week.
I'm just going to give you some pics of a few quilts that I've completed for customers over the last couple of months, ok? OK.
This quilt came with a special request to add a couple of hearts in the ...
read moreEvery morning my husband and I read something aloud, and then we take turns talking about what we’ve just read. Today’s reading began with this: “There is overwhelming evidence that the higher the level of self-esteem, the more likely one will treat others with respect, kindness, and generosity.” Nathaniel Branden I love our morning readings… Continue reading Stumbling Along & Other Musings…
read moreHave you seen this before? Amazing!! Another gem sent to me by my mother. All I kept thinking as I watched this was, “NOOOO! It’s too beautiful to cut into!” While at the same time fascinated and eagerly awaiting the next cake to see what was inside. Creativity knows no bounds. Then there’s this, which… Continue reading Random Videos & Thoughts
read moreI’m not very good at following instructions. There. I said it. And here’s the kicker. Even when they’re my instructions, I still find it difficult. You see, there’s a playful, fun loving, always curious voice inside my head saying to me, “yeah, but wouldn’t it be more fun if we did it this other way?”… Continue reading Following Instructions & Other Random Thoughts
read moreNew Yorkers are a resourceful group for the most part, but we are also impatient, easily distracted, and busy. We are very, very busy. Don’t ask us what’s our hurry, you’ll be met with a bleary-eyed scowl of contempt. Don’t believe me? Ever walked down a street in mid-town Manhattan in the middle of the… Continue reading #StayAtHome aka When Will it End & Other Musings
read moreThe year was 1970, it was a Saturday morning, I was a junior in high school. My mother answered the door to receive an Easter floral arrangement from her employer at the time. After she closed the door she called to me from the kitchen and asked me if I knew the boy delivering flowers for the local florist shop. I glanced out the living room window and saw him walking back down our walkway

Given all the work that went into this beautiful embroidery, custom quilting was certainly warranted.
Leisure this month was an evening with my Red Hat girls. After dinner out, we went to the museum for a MUMMY UNWRAPPING. Honest to goodness.
Eeeuwww...
If you're like me, living in blissful ignorance, you may be surprised to learn that you can BUY mummies. Yep. Because, I mean, who wouldn't want one in their living room ...
The saving grace was that the maker brought a folder of quilting ideas along with the quilt.
The quilting that replicates the brick floor was a technique I learned in a class with Jodi Robinson. I've used that design more than I ever expected.
LIFE UPDATE
Things have been pretty hectic around here for the past 6 weeks. Hubby was helping a friend and had an unfortunate accident that is limiting his activities and requiring physio appointments twice a week ...
I am glad you came over to my blog to get weekly encouragement.
We are in the bible study A Wife's Secret to Happiness and we are in week 11 and reading chapter 11.
Our verse for this week is:
"Most blessed among women....."
