Last Monday, I went to the doctor…I actually had two appointments. I’ll start out by telling you about the doctor…The whole experience was frustrating. Remember I told you that I saw a doctor and she told me I had a cyst in the nasal pharynx area. For most of the last month, I have been …

I didn’t get much time in the sewing room. Grandma duties, doctor appointments, and shopping so Rick could get his EMT clothes for school took up most of my time. Besides…my sewing room is pretty overwhelming. I’ll tell you more about that in another blog post. Rick, my son-in-law Craig, and Carver all went golfing …

I heard of a restaurant that serves everything on a potato so you know I’m going to give this a try.

Last week I slow cooked a pork butt, simmered it in sauce and used it to top a baked potato. This week I had chicken fajitas on a baked potato.

Baked my potato, added some butter. Topped it with chicken, onions, peppers and cheese. Not gonna lie it was tasty. Next up Philly cheese steak on a sweet potato. I’ll let you know how it is.

Someone sent me this and I honestly thought it was a spoof or joke. Well I was wrong. They have now rewritten the bible to rewrite 8 sections that refer to same sex relationships. Supposedly its to clear up the homophobic attitude in the church.

If you read stuff like this you can’t help but to hope Jesus will return soon. God says that lifestyle is a sin but He still loves his children that live like that. He will judge all of us for how we lived when the time comes but thinking you can rewrite God’s ...

I am slowly quilting this Cherrywood Teri’s Color Theory alternately quilting and picking out some quilting I don’t like. Changing quilting as I go is a bit of a risk because I’ve already quilted an area, essentially poking a lot of holes into the quilt itself. And there are questions: am I damaging the quilt?… Continue reading I’m quilting! I’m quilting!

Bought some new panels because yes I needed more fabric lol. I’m not a big fan of panels because I can’t find a pattern I really like using for them but I can’t wait to see how these work out.

For years I wanted a boat and ended up buying a kayak. Sometimes I really miss it but I can truly say I dont have the navigational skill to own a boat. I once paddled around a local park and ended up in the gulf near the shipping channel and my brother sent the coast guard to find me because I couldn’t see land once a storm came in. That being said, I might have found one I like so reconsidering. LOL

I’m getting a little closer to being back in the swing of things, but not quite there. I did get some stitching done on two different days last week. I had worked on this piece before we went on vacation. This is American Trio from Kim Diehl. This is the only one I had left …

Let’s see if i can keep up. Not sure I have anything worth writing about but I’ll try once a week and see if I can come up with something.

Top news this week was Shannin was able to locate her old plastic surgeon and have the cyst next her eye removed.

Met with Claudia and delivered some fabrics I ordered for us. Hopefully will find something new and exciting for her to cut out for me. She is a lifesaver to my arms and shoulders. If i do I’ll post it here.

Quilted a couple of ...

This is the quilt I made with the 2nd fabric Pam got in Japan. I’m likely going to keep this one myself. Love the red she brought home.

From now on this is how I’ll be answering all questions. If you’re old enough you know what this is.

Earlier this year we lost our girl Kiljeadean aka Killy. I can only hope we gave her a good life and she knew she was loved. The boys wandered around for days looking for her. She’s been with them their whole lives. I’m a firm believer heaven will have our pets when we get there.

Just random pics of the boys enjoying January. Our winter was unusually cold this year.

This is my entry in Donna’s Annual Lovely Ugly Challenge 2026.

The potholders are 8″ square. The 4″ star blocks were fun to make. (There are a number of tutorials out there.) I could make an entire quilt of them, I think. But, not right now.
