Valentine Fun
Since I have been working on donating and clearing out my tablescaping and crafting areas, I have taken at least 8 boxes to the thrift store. And, I resisted going inside!

A Pillowcase Project
Our small neighborhood group of our guild has decided to do pillowcases for Safelight's shelter. Yes, it is the same place as our Safelight Project Spa Bags. This could not have come at a better time, as I have a lot of fabric, and it will help with the Stashbuster challenge! I may not actually …

Settle in for a long post about a lot going on, things to see and read, and projects where you can participate. Around the feeder we have a lot of pretty birds, and hungry birds! This week there has been a variety of avian friends chowing down on the seed and suet, including some newcomers. …
Exciting News!!
It was exciting to get the mail this week, as I got some great news! Last summer we did a quilt along to make quilted jackets to wear during this winter season. It took three months to finish the jacket, just in time to enter it into the Mountain State Fair. It won a first …
