Good morning, my friends. It was such a pretty day yesterday, and unexpectedly warm. My usual morning routine was still intact, though. I took the first stitches on the ninth block for the Snowmen and Reindeer. I stitched their faces first so that we could chat while I stitched the rest of their bodies. (Doesn’t everyone do that?)

Good morning, my friends. I sewed fast yesterday, and now the Kittens in Cups quilt is ready for sandwiching. Before I could get to that, though, I finished off Block 5 for Home is Where My Flock Is.
Here are the five blocks I have for this quilt so far. There is still a long way to go on this, but these blocks stitch up in just a few days.
And that meant I needed a new stitching project. The ninth block for the Snowmen and Reindeer is traced and ready to go. This one is called Snowmen, Reindeer, and ...

Some of my embroidered petals have now been used for a patchwork flower.
This is the third finished page for my little silk book.
I have five more to complete and then I need to decide how I will embellish the reverse of each page.
At the moment I am completely devoid of ideas!
Good morning, my friends. It's another sunny day here at the Three Cats Ranch. We've had our typical spring weather with a little bit of everything during the day. A few days ago, we even had some hail. No snow, thank goodness, although we do sometimes get snow in April.
When I left you yesterday, I was on my way to fill the birdfeeders. Along my way, I saw a few little things going on in the garden. For one thing, I'm seeing colors on the Lavender Whisper peony. I'll admit I'm anxious to see ...

Do you remember the gingham drawstring pouch?
This is a small selection of the design work which accompanied that piece.
I am drawing on this collection to inform my current work, some of which you saw yesterday and I feel very fortunate to have all these resources at my fingertips.

Accessories, embellishments, adornments.
These have been made for some time, all part of a bigger collection, the little silk book, the wrapping cloth, the embroidered notebook.
Today I'm assessing, assessing embellishments, wondering what other forms of accessory I can create to complement this body of work.
Remember...your stash can never be too big!

Good morning, my friends. Our chat will have to be quick this morning. We're donning our suits of armor in an effort to get Sadie to the vet this morning. She needs her immunizations. It's hard to believe, I know, but this little kitty turns into a bearcat when she's being forced to do something she doesn't want to do.

Good morning, my friends. The morning is "good" despite being a grocery shopping day. The sky is clouded over and we're expecting more rain, but it's good sewing weather. That makes the day "good" by definition.
It was a productive day here yesterday. I stitched up the 48th Tiny Treasure. This one has stem stitch, fishbone stitch, and satin stitch.

Today, Patrick was off golfing. I got up and out the door.
First things first. Went to Safeway for meds and they said I had another one and to come back later. So, I headed to moms. I brought some of the cherry breads. I also had some to drop off at Phil's.
Went to PUD because they gave us a FINAL shut off notice. I asked why I didn't get a curtesy letter. She said they sent one out and they called. Well, the number they called was disconnected. So, we chatted and I told her we ...

Patchwork flowers for my wrapping cloth.
Hand embroidered petals for more patchwork, more patchwork for my little silk book.
Good morning, my friends. Our weather has returned to Portland gloom today. We're expecting sun breaks off and on through the week, but rain most every day. I haven't checked the forecast to see when the sunshine will return, but it won't be for several days.
My first stop yesterday was to stitch Tiny Treasure #46. This one has stem stitch, satin stitch, and fly stitch.
