Woke up to a crisp 3 degrees this morning.  Almost all the leaves are off the trees. I love walking in the leaves hearing the crunch as you walk over them.  There is even a different smell in the air.  The humorous side of fall are watching the squirrels running around playing and hiding all the nutsContinue reading “Fall is here”

On Wed we will wake up to a new President.  Whom ever it is I hope it is for the good.  All I can say is I am glad the phone calls will stop. Now is the time to start planning what to work on next.  I want to make a quilt without corners.  IContinue reading “New President of the USA”

It has been a busy few days and it was great.  Friday was a day in the sewing room catching up on things I have put off. It is fall in Missouri and that means LEAVES to rake and mulch. Not only are we cleaning leaves we are scooping up acorns by the shovel full.Continue reading “Busy Busy Busy”

I will have the fun of taking our Granddaughter, Destiny, who is 20 months old out to a few houses. Organizing theContinue reading “Friday Fun”

Thank you everyone who had their own way of sorting scraps.  I have gotten lots of ideas and am ready to get organized.  I started last night and after about an hour I was calling it a night.  I caught myself putting it back where I had gotten it from.  Now I have a planContinue reading “Thank You!!!!!!”

This morning I was reading a blog from https://catbirdquilts.wordpress.com/ and it brought a question to mind…How does one go about organizing your stash of fabric?  I have a large amount in different totes.  I try to sort by color, not quite right. By size, looks just piled up.  Seriously I am tired of all these oddsContinue reading “Need Stash Help”

Well I am ready for the last 2 craft fairs of 2016.  I have called it quits for the one on Nov. 5th  and have Jalapeno Pecan brittle, Pecan Brittle, and Peanut Brittle to make for the 18th and 19th sales.  Then it is all finished.  Or at least as finished as I call it.Continue reading “Last 2 Craft Fairs of the year”
