Yesterday was a beautiful day and in the mid 40s.  Last night got cold and woke up to temps in the teens and snow.  As of noon we have 1 inch of snow and it is going to continue with a winter watch until 6pm.  I don’t mind the snow, but the road outside myContinue reading “White Thanksgiving?”

We had about 1″ of snow the other day and the temp. started dropping.  Last night it dropped to 16 degrees and today’s high was 24.  I have been moving some things around to get ready for the Christmas tree to be set up and all my other Christmas goodies out.  I love the ChristmasContinue reading “Cold now”

Woke this morning to the weather man saying by Thursday we will have our 2nd snow of the year.  Fall is here and it seems winter is pushing its way into the fall and telling me “Deal with it, Lady.”  I start thinking of what to do while the snow is falling.  Any ideas???????????  IContinue reading “SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????????”

I am attempting my first needle turned applique quilt.  I love the southwest colors scheme and have had these colors in my home.  While on our vacation to the SW I fell in love with the pattern Quail Trail by Adriane Walsh.  I didn’t like a few things so I changed them.  My background isContinue reading “First appliqued block”

I have never made a whole quilt with hand applique on it.  I grew up doing embroidery, cross stitch, and some applique on my kids clothes.  While on vacation I fell in love with the pattern Quail trail and purchased.

Today I cut out a tote and then played with alcohol ink.  I do think I like this and will be experimenting more with this.  I have some white scarves that I need to try and do something with.  More and more fun will be coming.  I have my fabric dying table set up inContinue reading “Back to normal”

How many of you have sat and worked up a pattern, making changes as you go?  I think all of  us have. Sometime they turn out good and sometimes not so good.  While out on the road I came across one such item.  My husband is diabetic, so I made him a case to carryContinue reading “Hind site”

We got home Friday morning about 4am and now all signs of vacation are gone.  I have spent part of today working on a small wall hanging from Tucson.  I love seeing sunrise at Saguaro National Park among all these cactus.   This little wall hanging has given me more ideas.  Too many ideas right now. Continue reading “Home and settled in at last”
