It's week 1 of our sew/quilt along, and I have designed a small wall hanging that I've been wanting to make for some time. Have you seen those fun art pieces using broken jewelry? I have a lot of that, and designed this piece to use them. Don't worry, if you don't have any broken …
Christmas In July Starts Today
Maybe it is the heat outside, but thinking about winter is a pleasant prospect for me right now. There are so many things we could play with for Christmas projects, some in fabric, some in paper, and some with a glue gun. A lot of bloggers are doing Christmas In July posts now, so let's …
Christmas in July is Coming
I made good progress on the Christmas projects this week, so I think we are good to go for a Christmas in July sew along starting on Tuesday, July 16th and running on Tuesdays for three weeks. I'll also have some additional Christmas theme posts from Sunday the 14th through the end of the month …
Working on Projects and Tomato Pie
This week will be hit and miss for working on projects. I need to get the special one farther along for a quilt along later in the month. At this point, I am just not sure how I can work it around the calendar. So, much will depend on how much will get done this …
Sunday Chat – Garden and Sewing
It is hot and humid here now, not my favorite time of year. I really do hate the heat, especially when it climbs above 80 and the humidity is high. The good things about summer, though, are pretty birds, beautiful flowers and fresh produce. Our local flock of goldfinches are feasting daily at the feeder. …

Safelight – Celebrate Your Freedom
This week I wanted to use the rest of the surplus of money collected for the Spa Bag project to do something fun for the Safelight Domestic Violence Shelter. I set aside what will be needed for the October delivery of the last spa bags, and found I had just enough to do a special …
Inspiration for Independence Day
Independence Day is coming this week, and it is a great time to shop your house for special tables, put out flags, cookout on the grill, and celebrate. Hit the dollar store this week for some red, white and blue accessories like these star sprays. I've had these for years, they were a great inexpensive …
Sunday Chat – Gladiolas, Wildlife, Cooking, and Quilting
Last week, I showed you some of my hostas, and mentioned that I needed to check on the gladiolas out back. Well, they are blooming their best. They have multiplied over the past couple of years, and now are a beautiful patch of apricot flowers, amongst the weeds and poison ivy on the mountainside behind …

Busy, busy, busy!!
The last couple of weeks has seemed to be crammed full of things to do. Some fun, some not so much like getting my teeth cleaned. Three car club events were lots of fun, and I had a blast doing two presentations - one on card design for the Heritage Hills Stampers, and the other, …
