Lazy Weekend

I wish it was going to be a lazy weekend. But I will be spending most of the weekend in my studio sewing. I am going to be piecing and machine quilting a few smaller quilts. Hopefully, I will have something to show next week. And yes, I will be knitting too. I also need [...]

Yet More Quilt Lovelies

Okay, there really is some knitting going on again but I just keep finding quilts to pull out and photograph. And last night, my oldest nephew decided that he wanted another quilt for Christmas. And since making him a quilt means that he will not be asking for electronics from me, I will make a [...]

Healing But Busy

My hand is pretty well healed today. Which is surprising considering how it felt and looked yesterday. But just because I couldn’t knit doesn’t mean that I couldn’t work on anything last night. I was able to sew. So I worked on piecing together my doll quilt for the September Doll Quilt Challenge over on [...]

No Knitting for a Few Days or Ouchie

This weekend was spend partially in the studio. I managed to put together a scrap quilt for P. I used left over scraps from a long ago flannel project. I had to cut exactly two additional squares to make the quilt the perfect lap size. It is going to keep her warm when she is [...]

Quilt Friday

Last night I managed to finish piecing my August Doll Quilt Challenge. And the finished top is well under the 30-inch-by-30-inch requirements. I was going for a old stained glass window effect like you might see in a few houses around an old town. Actually, if I walked down to the end of the street [...]

Drizzle

I honestly do not think we have seen the sun since Sunday. The sky is till overcast. And there is still drizzle. My hair is being super curly. And the color of the sky is sucking all of the desire to knit out of me. But I have finished another UFO. And my frogs are [...]

It Began with a Bang

It has been very dry here in the mid-Atlantic. And Sunday I woke up to a very autumn looking sky. I was up really early for me on a weekend. The sky at 7 am was dark and eerie. But it was very pretty. But no rain Sunday.

Monday was gray and overcast. Just like a [...]

Photo Friday

Last night, I went to a picnic for the local Lions Club. I am not a member but my parents are and I help the club with certain fund raisers. The picnic is held at a small church surrounded by farm fields. Grace Rocky Hill is a tiny chapel and has been a fixture in [...]

Zucchini Wednesday

Okay, this is so I don’t forget the recipe I made up as I went along Monday night. I picked zucchini on Saturday and well everyone knows what happens when you forget to check the zucchini plants daily. I had 3 that were a bit on the big side. I was able to give two [...]

Basket Full of Frogs

What can I say, the Purl Bee’s frog is addictive. I have six frogs in a small darning basket with me at work to sew them shut. I found some small black beads that will be sewn on as eyes on a few of the frogs. But there are still a few frogs on the [...]
