Happy Halloween

Today I have been on a rant and will just touch on it.  You have heard me talk about Destiny(my 3 yr old granddaughter), well she has been wanting to pretend she has a baby in her tummy.  I talked to her mom and she has done some checking and one set(she has 3 sets

Trying Alcohol Ink

The last few days I have been trying alcohol ink on different types of fabric.  I tried muslin  I wasn’t over joyed with this.  Ink didn’t spread with the alcohol and turned a little dull.  Next was 100% cotton.  This one a little better  Then I tried silk.  I also used permanent markers and I got more

Back to normal

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 in

Hind site

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 carry

Home and settled in at last

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.

Let me see, Texas, New Mexico, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, now heading out in the morning back to New Mexico then Kansas and home.  Saw some beautiful things and met some wonderful people.  I am so tired and my bottom is flat from so much time in the car..  We visited 20 National Parks and took

Zion and Bryce National Parks

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 snow

Flagstaff, AZ

Today brings a chilly and cloudy day.  We will be spending the day in Flagstaff and Sedona.  We are planning on cramming 2 days into one as tomorrow will be rainy and you can’t be a tourist very well in the rain.  We can do all we wanted to do from the car tomorrow and

So much driving

We saw Big Bend in West Texas on the Rio Grande River yesterday.  It is huge, and then today we went to Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico.  We also visited White Sands National Monument.  Tomorrow we head to Arizona.  So far no quilt shops since North East Texas.  I think that will change tomorrow.  Big Bend

West Texas
