Good morning, my friends. It's that day when we must be wary. There's a prankster around every corner. As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we're going grocery shopping today. You can bet we'll be on high alert.

There was a long list of to-do's yesterday. Everything got done, including walking on the treadmill. Yay me! And so it was late in the day by the time I made my way to the sewing room. No worries, though. I was able to finish the fourth row of the Stair Steps quilt.

Good morning, my friends. We're looking at a decent day of weather ahead. There's one more somewhat urgent clean-up job in the garden, and I'm thinking today is the day. I've pulled the worst of the weeds and  deadheaded the shrubs that needed it. The last task is to clean up the culinary herb garden. I cut a huge amount of sage from the herbs last year, and the ground is looking a little barren at the moment. I'm waiting to see now much of it will fill in with chives, and then I'll ...

Good morning, my friends. Well...we roused the rabble yesterday. I'll tell you about that when I’m sure my balance is steady enough to climb up on my Soapbox. For now, let's talk about that fourth finish. Ta-Da! It ends up at 14-1/2 x 13 inches.

To finish it off, I decided on one fabric for the outer border. It was sewn on quilt-as-you-go style. Then, for a little added support, I stitched a single line around the embroidery.

From there, I just needed a binding. I bought ...

Good morning, my friends. The day started out with a bang yesterday...or, more accurately, a poke. We were out bright and early so I could get a fasting blood draw. Sometimes I'm a hard stick, and so it always provokes a little anxiety. Yesterday...one stick, and I barely felt it. Yahoo! It was a good way to start the day. 

We'd planned breakfast at a local Black Bear Diner, but it was really, really cold inside the restaurant when we arrived. We were informed their heater was broken, and they were working on getting it fixed ...

Good morning, my friends. I'm writing fast this morning. In a little while, I'm heading out to get a badly-needed haircut and to run some errands in town. I'm happy to start today's post announcing the Fantastic Felines are finished. This quilt will be donated to an organization known as Leave It for the Pooch, and it will be included in a fund-raising auction sometime in June.

Wanna know how much kitty help was offered?

Yeah…the whole notion of ...

Good morning, my friends. All of my to-do's were crossed off yesterday, including walking on the treadmill and the one housekeeping chore on my list. Yay me! 

Once the meat and potatoes part of my day was complete, I could move on to dessert. There was lots of time for sewing. Fortunately, my purrtector cat was on the job, keeping an eye out for any invading forces from the north.

Good morning, my friends. My yesterday started with a long list of to-do's. Unsurprisingly, I didn't get through all of it, but there was a good amount of progress. But first...out with the old, in with the new. St. Patrick's Day is history, and Easter is approaching. My first priority was to switch out my holiday decor. 

First, I hung the little Bunny Garden on the wall between the kitchen and dining room. If I'm remembering right, this was a free pattern from Lynette Anderson at one time. It's no longer free, but you ...

Good morning, my friends. Hopefully, you're wearing your green this morning. I haven't decided on today's wardrobe, but it will definitely include my Irish socks from actual Ireland.

It's going to be a kitchen day here. I like to get my Irish up for St. Patrick's Day, and so I'm making an Irish themed dinner tonight. We'll have some Irish Brown Bread...a new recipe to me, so I hope it's good. That'll go with our Irish Beef Stew. For dessert we'll have these Bruleed Key Lime Tarts. I made ...
