I've had so much fun stamping our Christmas cards this year. I got on a roll for a couple of days, and cranked out card after card. I have a lot of holiday theme stamps from several companies, but most of the cards this year were done with Impression Obsession stamps adding stickers and ribbons, …

5 Minute Stocking Stuffer
I was watching a football game last weekend and saw the referee with his mask on a lanyard, so he could remove it to announce a penalty call then replace it quickly. This got me thinking. It is a bit of a pain to put on a mask to go into a store, take it …
December In the Garden
Even in December, there is something going on in the garden. The plants in the sunroom continue to do well, and I am hopeful that they survive the winter. Recently, I uncovered my amaryllis and brought it into the kitchen. I gave it some water, and hope it will wake up soon and produce another …

Christmas Geese Table Runner
Today we get back to the last bit of the panel. I began this one by making flying geese in red and green, so I could alternate the colors. Using the no waste method made a bunch in a short time. I wanted the final geese to finish at 2x4 inches, so I cut my …

It is fun to get out the boxes, and rediscover the fun little things that bring smiles, like this little reindeer kicking up his heels. Earlier this year, I finished all my Vintage Christmas blocks into placemats, and ended up …
Pokemon Quilt Part 1 – Best Laid Plans
We have a little munchkin in our group of car club buddies, the grandson of one of the directors, and he is a die hard Pokemon fan. I find little card packs for him from time to time, but we haven't seen him in a year due to you know what. Sometimes, I've found something …
Winter Lights at the Arboretum
Each winter, during the holiday season, the NC Arboretum does their Winter Lights exhibit. In years past, this has been a walking exhibit in the garden area with games and hot chocolate next to an open fire in one of three firepit areas. See more of the previous shows in my post Winter Lights 2017. …
Having Some Fun Safely Social
Finding ways to have some fun these days is more of a challenge. When you cannot have sew days with friends at home, or retreats in lovely Victorian homes over a weekend, then next best thing is a sew day at home with friends attending online. The wonderful thing is this would not be possible …
