This project will be a Slow Stitching project over the next few weeks. Today, I'll show the overall plan, and will update as I get farther along. Someone asked me recently how many projects I have going on at any one time, and the answer is usually two or three. I'll have something next to …

Valentine Projects
I have been so involved with the mystery quilt, finishing some charity quilts, and a quilted art project I'll be sharing soon, that I haven't done anything new for Valentine's Day this year. I did bring out the wall hangings and decorations, and I'll give you some links to where these were done last year …
Scrappy Project Update Part 3
The scrappy project moves along slowly. After I finished the quilting on the patched piece, I thought for quite a while as to what I wanted to do with it. It wouldn't work as a quilt, it was too much of a mish-mash. The other thing I had in mind was to do something more …
Super Bowl Sunday, Fun Food and Slow Stitching
Go Panthers!! Today will be a fun day, and I hope the Panthers do well. One thing I learned a few years ago, I don't want any company for the game, and I don't want to go anywhere. I want to watch both the game and the commercials, without having to entertain or have conversation …

Mardi Gras Mini Quilt
The table stand needed something colorful for Mardi Gras, so time to bring out the scraps and make a new mini quilt. The colors of purple, green and gold are gathered in this small quilt based on a single block. The diamond shape created with the color placement is reminiscent of the harlequin designs used …
Mardi Gras Time!

White Wine Chicken and Mushrooms
I'm not big on white wine to just drink, but I do like to cook with it. The subtle flavor it adds to chicken is just wonderful. One thing I do know, never cook with a wine that you wouldn't drink from a glass. The stuff they sell as cooking wine in the grocery store …
Thinking of You Cards
Several people I know are having some health challenges facing chemo, rehab or surgery. I wanted to send just a Thinking Of You card with best wishes for a speedy recovery, or just a message of support. So, I got out my stamping stuff and got creating. My friend, Carol W, gave me a card …
Scrappy Project part 2
This morning, the sun is shining on the snow, but I am still not going anywhere. Here is the driveway with about 4 inches of snow left. Nope, not going anywhere until more melting takes place. The sun should make the road passable by late afternoon today, but too late to go to work. Snow …
Making a Meal for our Feathered Friends
Winter finally arrived with some really chilly temperatures and snow! This morning the total is approaching a foot, and it is still coming down. This picture was taken about an hour ago, already 6-8 inches everywhere. The forecast for my area is 12-18! With the leaves gone, our winter view is able to see the …
