Making Progress on Projects
I've noticed that my blogging is not as prolific as it once was, and I am posting fewer times in a week. So many other bloggers I read have just stopped posting altogether, so I am not spending as much time reading blogs, and I miss that. I miss catching up on what projects are …
Black Bean Garlic Pot Roast
Having fun with sew days and virtual retreats sometimes means firing up the slow cooker to have a hot meal at the end of the day. I've talked about Asian influences in food before, and I really like the Black Bean Garlic Sauce I found in the Asian foods aisle at the grocery store. It …
Working on a Quilt Border
Sewing is just more fun with friends, even if they are on my computer screen. I can still hear their voices and see their faces, and we all get a lot done. I've been hosting virtual sew days for several small groups, and I enjoy them all. This time I was working on a border …
January Books
Reading over the past month has been an eclectic mix of fiction and non-fiction. A couple of things I can really recommend, a couple of meh novels, two non-fiction page turners and a few more. Links are provided to Amazon for all the books, thank you for using my links when you can as it …
Well Loved Double Wedding Ring Repair
I decided to suspend my quilt repair service for the time being, at least while this pandemic is escalating. The last quilt I accepted was from a local lady, and I got it from her in early December, letting her know it wouldn't be done until January. So, I finished up the other customer projects, …
January in the Garden
Cold weather and snow days mean there is not much to do outside, but the garden still has growing going on. I have two garden spots to keep plants over the winter. One is in my kitchen, where I have the Thanksgiving cactus, the orchid, and my eight-year-old amaryllis. That is indeed a flower spike …
Quilting a Quilt of Valor
Our local Quilts of Valor chapter has been quieter than usual this past year. There have only been a few presentations in private ceremonies, and a couple of outdoor ones for just three or four veterans. Because the group was unable to do the large ceremony for military nurses we planned for last November, we …
Having Some Fun This Week
Having fun these days requires a bit more creativity, doesn't it? I have been doing a lot more on Zoom, as it is a safe way to see friends and have conversation. On Monday, I was able to spend a nice day sewing with friends, and working on Pachanga, while fat snowflakes drifted down all …
Turning a Sweatshirt into a Jacket
I don't really care for pullover sweatshirts. To me they are not that comfortable as they are mostly made for people taller than I am, and tend to bunch up on my shorter torso. I much prefer a cardigan style, and wear sweaters like that most of the time. But when I wanted to have …
