Life slow down please

The last few weeks have passed in a blurrrrrrr. Mostly Dr appointments for Hubby and 1 for me. All is well and after tomorrow hopefully he will have 20/20 vision. Cataract surgery. I have made over 15 Gnomes and now back to making more as I have sold 6 already. Today I took a little

A Week In Process

In the last few weeks we have been making gnomes, bowl cozies, and dolls for craft fairs. Hubby has been down stairs cutting Military Plaques out. Then our new “Hobby” Target Shooting. We joke that we see each other only for meals, but it got close to being like that, so we decided to do

A Rainy Day

Today is one of those rainy days that all you want to do is curl up with a good book, some chocolate candy and listen to it rain. I love those days. I think today instead of reading (my 2nd favorite thing to do) I will do some baking. Bread and cookies. We are meeting

We’re back. Yes the last month is one that this family doesn’t want to have a do over. We had to take an expected ,but unwanted trip to Texas. We lost my older brother to COPD and went to say goodbye. We decided to add a few days and stop in Arkansas and then Galveston.

A wonderful Week

This week has been good. Not a lot of sewing but lots of time just Hubby and I. We’ve decided to take up target shooting and am having a great time. We will be leaving Aug 1st to go to Texas for a quick trip, but will be back down for Thanksgiving. So tomorrow I

I have finished the 6 quilts. All have been mailed and I hope delivered. Made 2 of these. These turned out a lot better than I thought it would be. While making these hubby got pneumonia AGAIN. This is the 2nd time this year. I’m glad he got his pneumonia vaccine. This time he didn’t

Finally a Craft Fair

Yesterday was the first fair we were a part of since Covid. We were ready for it, but the heat wasn’t helping. The temperature was 95 with a comfort index of 3 didgets is what the TV said last night. Even though we had a great time and all came home a few dollars to

3 Down 3 to go

I’ve been making Memory Quilts. The lady wanted 6 and sent me the clothes. This was last month. Yesterday I put 3 in the mail to her and crossing my fingers she likes them. We did. I have several pairs of hubby’s old jeans so will cut them up to make one for us. Really
