Wednesday morning as I was leaving the house I noticed my garden in the front yard. It is badly in need of some TLC. I had foot surgery and had to stay off it for a little over a month and 1/2, then Hubby has been in the Hospital. It still looks beautiful and todayContinue reading “My Hostas and Bachelor Buttons”

Plan A for this week was to spend about 3 days straight at the sewing machine. Not in the game plan for me nows. Hubby got a cold and with his breathing capacity at 49% we ended up Saturday taking a midnight ride to the hospital. Here on Monday we sit and it isn’t atContinue reading “Plan B”

This past Saturday we had a craft fair at a Cork and Canvas fair. It was a great time. We had to hold our tent down at time because of the wind. A few people actually had their tents go airborne. IT had rained so hard the night before and earlier that day. For thatContinue reading “Craft Fair Fun”

We decided to change our Television providers and there was a week of overlap and boy, did I get a lot done. Puzzles, cleaning, sewing, and making peanut brittle. Today has been the first full day of television service and I haven’t missed all the drama it brings into my home. It is staying offContinue reading “A Week of No TV”

Lots of animals Now this last picture is of the Convention Center Floor Map of where everythingContinue reading “Kansas City Regional Quilt Festival Part 2”

This weekend our HOA is having a neighborhood garage sale so here I sit waiting for all our wonderful “stuff” to get bought up. My helper, Destiny is enjoying digging in my flower bed “collecting” dirt. I’m a little afraid to ask what she is collecting it for. Bird baths are full, feeders have beenContinue reading “Enjoying the outdoors”

For the next two weeks I will be working on making lots of Artist Portfolio Bags in 3 sizes. 18×20, 26×29, and 34×41. These will hold several canvases. While making these bags I have 20 bags for walkers and wheelchairs to make. So these days are very crazy. I will be leaving the sewing aloneContinue reading “Crazy Days”

Yesterday the first Craft Fair and it was great. Weather perfect, sunny, in the 80’s with a breeze. Especially after weeks of rain. We did have to close up about 30 min earlier due to a storm coming in. Ashley made it home about 10 min from the venue and as she was unloading theContinue reading “One down and more to go”
