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”

I have been asked to make some more art bags. These range in sizes to hold canvases. To start there will be 3 that are 29×26 and are quilted. The others will be sizes up to 46×60. I have started this afternoon. Hopefully these will be delivered before the 6th of June. Yesterday was GranddaughterContinue reading “Bags, bags and more.”

It has been a little over a week since my foot surgery and still have very limited use of it. Will have pins out the top of the toes for 5 more weeks. I can stand for about 30 minutes at a time and the rest of the time it has to be propped up.Continue reading “A Big Funk”

Went to the Dr yesterday and I will be getting the stitches out of the foot next week. Will still have to stay off it for 5 more weeks. Hubby has arranged the sewing room so I have a chair to keep the foot on and still sew. I am getting spoiled and it hasContinue reading

This morning as I was hobbling thru the house feeling sorry for myself, I could hear my dad telling me his favorite quote. “I once cried because I had no shoes until I met a man with no feet.” Snapped me out of my pitty me mood and now I am trying to think ofContinue reading “A boot is a boot”

I have graduated from crutches to a cane. YEA! Still having to stay off the feet for a while longer. Or at least till the pins come out. I have several blocks completed and may have them completed within 4 weeks. I would like to wish all the mother, and we include Petmothers in wishingContinue reading “Feet up and nothing to do”
