Crazy Times

I never thought that we would have to wear masks out in public, no handshakes or hugs, and standing 6 ft from another. Meetings on line, shopping on line( I am a toucher, I need to feel fabric before I buy it). It is hard for me to be positive and not allow myself to

So Far So Good

We are staying in and trying to be good. It is amazing how we take the small things in life for granted. Today Mary(daughter) and I were making masks and “Miss Thing” 5 yr old Destiny’s nick name now, was out in the back yard playing. She comes running in and telling us that our

Not much sewing lately

The last 2 days have been full and not a lot in the sewing room. We had our yearly furnace/air conditioner inspection done and there were a few questions with the electrical wiring done. We called an electrician out and bottom line we HAVE to update the wiring in the house. This has now involved

Self Isolation

This week our area has been staying home more and have finally gotten into the routine of not going to exercise, run to this store or going anywhere. My Quild has started making masks for 2 of the hospitals here, but my problem is my stack is disappearing. Granddaughter is still working so 6 found

Happy Saturday

Yesterday was a “Pitty me” day. I get those from time to time and two wonderful friends called and we had a good laugh. As a retired person who lives within 3 miles of all my children and most of my grandkids, my life hasn’t changed a lot except the socializing. When I woke up

Big plans for this week.

Everything is cancelled around here

Our Governor and Mayor have cancelled all activities for the rest of the month and possibly into April. I understand the reasoning for this and have to say I agree with them. We have no viruses known in town and it would be wonderful to stay that way, but I don’t think it will. Last

A sleepless Night

Yesterday was met with only 2 hours of sleep. We’d planned a trip to Washington DC, and was worried about hubby traveling with this Pandemic Virus going on. He has COPD and lost the top left lung to cancer a few years ago. This year alone he has had pneumonia twice and that is with

When is a scrap quilt not a scrap quilt?

Last night at Quilt Guild we had Kathy Delaney as a guest speaker and she asked this question. “When is a scrap quilt not a scrap quilt? I always thought a “scrap quilt” was when you used only your scraps. You know in Split Rail quilts or Log Cabins and so on. She explained to

Needing Quilting advice.

This last few weeks has been crazy, but we have made it thru. I hate to admit it but I live my life thru lists, and calendars. I carry a calendar in my purse, on my phone, on my sewing table, and kitchen wall. With hubby’s Dr appointments, granddaughter sitting, her school days, and what
