What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

I know – today is Wednesday . . and it’s getting late on Wednesday but yesterday, there was no stopping spot once I got started. Vince had been asking for Migas for breakfast so that’s what we had for breakfast Tuesday morning. Of course, they aren’t HARD to make but there’s a lot of chopping...

At 4 p.m. I thought I would be stitching and have hours and hours of stitching. It’s now 7 p.m. and I have yet to take a stitch. Why? Because my friend down the road made cookies and sent me a photo of them. You know how this story ends. I had been thinking of...

I knew it would be but I was still concerned because, as Vince says, I worry about everything. I don’t know how we first found Josh but when we bought this house, there were two Bradford Pears – one on each side of the driveway.We wanted those gone immediately. There were the two Callery Pears...

I had to laugh at myself yesterday. Vince had posted a video and I think I shared it here where a lab or some calm dog was sleeping and a Jack Russell was running and running and making circles around him. The caption was “Can someone take the batteries out?” That’s how I felt yesterday....

It’s good to be busy and a day spent having to leave the house several times will be good. I usually don’t want to leave the house I’m ready to get out for a day. First, our Azure pickup is at 8 a.m. We will have to be there by 7:45. Hopefully the truck will...

I always want to share good news stories, especially when I’ve shared bad news stories about the same incidents. Remember when our love seat was picked up and the new recliner delivered and we were NOT happy with the delivery people? It was those same guys who had picked it up that delivered it today...

I did spend a bit of time in the garden this morning and still have to go out and bring most of my new plants back in the house. We’re going to have wind and rain and hail and hopefully nothing worse over the next couple of days but it’s also going to drop back...

Yes, Easter with Elmer’s Chocolate Eggs in Louisiana and not in Missouri . . desperate times for this girl! Don’t ask me why I love these and I am NOT a chocolate fan. Every time I say that, Vince says “You eat chocolate all the time.” I do not. I like Almond Joy and Snickers...

Right! There are only about 5 million “great craft projects” I would like to start but this one REALLY caught my eye! Last night I was watching Homemade on the Ridge’s Flosstube (#12). What I thought was going to cause me to go shopping was the floss organization system she was showing and I will...

I know my problems are small compared to many but today (Thursday) was our furniture delivery day. Actually, delivery was one recliner. They were taking away the loveseat we bought last year and it is going to an upholstery guy to re-stuff the cushions and they were hauling away our old sofa. The furniture store...

Today was such a good day here. First, Chad was here about 8 a.m. with his pickup and trailer to help Vince empty out a storage building. When we started in October, 2020, we had three 10 x 20 storage buildings rented. At some point, we emptied one – probably when Vince got his shop...

Our dogs love taking long walks in the mornings but with these temps, they were so fast this morning. I bundled up with a heavy coat, mittens, and a cap thinking we would be out for a while but I think I would have been fine without even a jacket. We were in an out...

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.
