Just call me crazy

Just last week I told you how I would not be making another One Block Wonder after the Flamingo quilt, I purchased 7 new panels to try again. I will NOT let fabric beat me. It did but when I saw these panels I could see it finished. I guess it didn’t hurt that I

Winter Wonderland

We woke up to a Winter Wonderland yesterday. Got 4 inches of fluffy wet snow. Perfect for snowballs and snowmen. We took Granddaughter out to help shovel the driveway and Grandpa got silly and started throwing snowballs. This is the first winter that Destiny has had a chance to play in the snow. She had

Acorns Galore

This fall our Oak tree produced so many acorns we stopped raking them up. Now I understand why. This morning we are getting sleet, ice, and snow. There were 8 squirrels in the yard eating their breakfast. Hubby and I sat and just watched them. Tomorrow I will be taking pictures of them. I didn’t

Snow day and Quilting

Woke up to ice all over, then came the snow. We didn’t get as much snow as was called for, but has made the roads slick. This is looking outside my sewing room window. Yesterday I purchased a set of quilting rulers and so far I love them. These are the first attempts at using

A Little Snow AND A Little Frustration

Was working on a small quilt and getting to the part of almost finished and noticed some how there is GREASE on the top. I treated it, washed it, and it is still there so I guess I will try and save what I can and remake it. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! This weekend Mother Nature will be

2020 in Review

Thought today I would look at One Creative Family in Review. 2019 passed quickly and we enjoyed it so much. First let me re introduce the family since you probably don’t know anyone other than me(I am retired and have “more free time”) and enjoy talking so I got this wonderful job. This was taken

A New Year is Here

The start to 2020 has been questionable with colds, flues, and yuck, BUT today seems like it will be a wonderful year. I don’t make resolutions, because I don’t keep them long. This year I am trying something new. A yearly Mantra. BE MORE MINDFUL. In all I do and say will be more mindful.
