Safelight Project Update
Going to the mailbox these days is so fun, with all the packages to pick up! The response from the greatest readers ever has been just awesome. I am continually amazed at the generosity for a community in a rural area from literally all over the world. That someone in Australia, or New Zealand, or …
Spring Hat Makeover
The calendar says Springtime is here and the Easter Hat Parade was on the schedule, so I needed to do something fun for the day. This would be our first time to do this event, so I really had no idea what it was all about. The only thing I knew was that a hat …
April in the Garden
Finally, we have some warmer days! It seems like winter just keeps hanging on, but Friday was warm and sunny, and Saturday was perfect for a drive. It is supposed to rain all day today, so I am glad I got some pictures of the garden. Flowers are starting to show their colors a bit …

A Housewarming Gift
Some really good friends recently moved to Florida, and we were planning to drive down for a visit. We used to see them a couple of times a month between club meetings and events, and occasional dinner parties. I miss his infectious laughter and astute observations of the world, and her interesting conversation and gentle …
Half Square Triangles from Jelly Roll Strips
I am working a bit more on the new scrappy design in pink and brown that I am calling Chocolate Covered Cherries, and I really am pleased with the way the blocks are looking. In making a mountain of half-square triangles at the retreat, one would think I had plenty. But, when I was nearing …
