What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I’m not complaining. This is getting a bit comical – especially since it’s Vince’s package and not mine. First, the package was picked up in Memphis TN on 2/13. Not sure about the postal service route, but I don’t know that I would go to Georgia from Tennessee if I were going to Missouri but...

You may remember that in Texas, we had our ag exemption for raising bluebirds and improving their habitat. Here’s a link to a post with a couple of pictures. Vince built nesting boxes for them – 20 or 24 I think he built. I grew meal worms, which they loved eating. We would put little...

Maybe this isn’t weird or strange but these things happen to me so often. I spent most of the day in the kitchen. I cooked breakfast, then stirred up another batch of bran muffins, which required milling three kinds of wheat/grain; then I milled the wheat for two loaves of bread and got that going;...

First, let’s talk about Wednesday. Yesterday was my day to stitch with Debbie. We missed last week but I think it was her turn to come here but I needed to go by Chad’s to drop off some things and pick up some things so I asked Debbie if I could come there. Of course,...

I seriously need help. I seem to be the worst at picking out a comfy stitching chair. What do you all use and what do you recommend? Remember, I have Oscar and Cooper. They’re usually sitting with me but they sit on the foot part of the recliner. They get up to go out, especially...

Thank you all for the kind words about my dad and great aunt. I know most all of you have been through this already, some situations even harder. It’s only been a couple of weeks and I’m surprised when something out of the blue will cause me to cry. I listen to old country music...

No, I haven’t had any problems on the blog with political comments. I try to keep politics off the blog. I have long time friends on Facebook that cannot seem to stop talking politics. Most of those who continue to post are obviously not happy with the current President. Not everyone is. There’s probably never...

Life has been a bit crazy lately – I know many of us are in that same boat. But, hopefully most are smarter than I am.

This is not a complaint. I think it’s totally crazy. At this point, I’m just glad I’m not paying postage per mile the package travels. It’s a package from 123 Stitch. I ordered floss that I need for several projects I plan to start in the next few months. Before Christmas, I made a list...

I’ve mentioned on here before how much I love the Souper Cubes. There’s hardly a day that goes by that I’m not adding something to the Souper Cubes or getting something out to vacuum seal and freeze it so I can re-use the cube. I love the cookie dough freezer tray. Yes, I could put...

One of the best things about having two Dachshunds (besides twice the snuggles and twice the shredded treasures) is seeing how different they are. Oscar is my third one and Cooper is the fourth but I’ve never had two at the same time before now. You know we do tend to lose our sense of...

Not that anyone is coming here for news but this hasn’t been my best week – we’re fine and, of course, I’ll explain later but not today. This morning I was looking for something on the blog and this story came up (not what I was looking for). It’s a story I had re-posted once...

I’ve been really excited about New Year’s Day this year because I think I’ve come up with the perfect plan for my journals. I actually have two stitching journals. One is the Book of Days and I’ve added some additional pages. There’s one of these pages for each month. And one of these pages for...

For my entire adult life, I would only buy a big freezer that was not frost free. I still believe they’re better for the food and have less things to go wrong but they are not better on old ladies! Our newest freezers are frost free and I’m very thankful for that “technology” – even...

The heater repairs lasted three days! I guess it was good while it lasted.

Today was the annual lunch that our bank hosts. They do two during the day – one in Carthage and one in Neosho, and I think there’s one at night in Joplin. We always go to the lunch in Carthage. At least in Carthage, it’s a catered lunch and usually we have smoked brisket, has...

I don’t believe these things are any kind of divine signs but I think it’s weird in a funny way when they happen. When I was making my pumpkin pie yesterday, this picture popped up on my FB memories reminder from four years ago. I made this pie the first Thanksgiving we were here. We...

Remember that I said yesterday I was going to stitch til midnight? Nope . . I made a huge mess and had to clean it up. I had onions and garlic in the freeze dryer and about 10:00 p.m., it was ready to come out. When I go in there to get food out of...

For anyone with a Corgi or Dachschund lover on your gift giving list, here are two ideas. Addie loves Corgis – they have two. While in Walmart yesterday, I saw these slippers. I grabbed her size and put it in the cart. Then I started thinking . . she’s such a “teen” these days, maybe...

Please tell me I am not the last person to find out about these lids that are supposed to fit the Oui yogurt bottles. Most of the time I make our yogurt but there are plenty of times I buy yogurt. There are several brands I like but most often, when buying, I will buy...
