One thousand and counting

Wow, I have been watching the number of visits to my blog creep slowly toward 1000.  I looked a couple of days ago and it was in the range of 980+/- and since it hasn’t been climbing very quickly I didn’t think to check it yesterday or earlier today.  Lo and behold, it is now [...]

Project Improv blocks and time with Trevor

I spent today working on my Project Improv charity blocks.  I love the idea of not having to follow directions but found it kind of difficult for me without directions.  It’s a catch 22.  Anyway, here’s my blocks…
I like Block #2 better.  Maybe I’m getting the hang of it.

Two creative groups, Etsy store & FM update

Last night while searching the internet I came across two blogs that both support and encourage creativity and working “outside the box”.  Heaven knows that I need a big, giant push in that direction.  I know there is creativity in me but I find it hard to take that first step away from patterns and [...]

Anticipating a move

Since my condo has been on the market since October and I recently lowered the asking price, I know that sooner or later it will be sold and I will make the move to Bill’s house.  Considering that I have had several months to clean out things, I haven’t moved very quickly.  I did clean [...]

Feeding my spirit

I always feel better when I have a chance to soak up some sun.  Today I had the opportunity to take a chair outside into the driveway and sit in the sun for a little while.  I put on my iPod,  settled in with a nice Dunkin Donuts iced coffee and just took in the [...]

More from Keepsake

When Bill and I went to Keepsake Quilting the other day, we picked up a couple of gifts and he found more oriental fabrics.

Wendy’s middle name is Bee and Bill found a cute bee plate.  “Grasshopper” is the nickname Bill gave me when we first met and he is always looking for them but they [...]

A quilt giveaway

I recently pointed out in this blog that I rarely give away the quilts I make, which isn’t very many because I’m slow and I don’t get that much time at the machine.  However, if you are interested in checking out a great blog and maybe entering yourself for a free quilt, check out Suzanne [...]

The first of the lasts

If you read this regularly, you know that I am counting down the days until I retire after 25 years in the fire service.  Many of the things we do happen on an annual basis and since I won’t be there this time next year, I have completed some of the “annuals” for the last [...]
