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”

Today was spent mostly in the car, but that is ok, it was COLD. The higher in the mountains we went the colder it got.  We forgot coats in Kansas City and had jackets.  We piled clothes on and went out anyway.  As we left Zion and got closer to Bryce we started seeing snowContinue reading “Zion and Bryce National Parks”

As we leave the Houston area for the far west side of Texas we stopped in San Antonio and then headed to Del Rio Texas.  Here are a few photos of San Antonio. I love the Old Live Oak trees.  They remind us to bend with life and not be so rigid.  YES Texas doesContinue reading “West Texas”

We started our travels on Tuesday night and arrived in Houston, Tx on Wed.  We did make one stop in Minneola, Tx at Stitchin’ Heaven.This was a nice  quilt shop, but could do better wlith customer service.  There were 4 employees talking and never offered help, until I took fabric to be cut. Had aContinue reading “On the Road again”
