Well, so far there have been no showers this month, where I live, but my spring flowers are making their beautiful appearance. My daughter-in-law, gave me these beautiful tulips for Easter. Strangely enough, they are actually that beautiful purple color, just like the paper wrapped around the pot, but they look pink in the photograph????? Needless to say they are gorgeous and the bulbs will go out in my yard, once they have finished blooming, so we can enjoy them every year. We are just 1 week away from the "April Showers" blog hop and my fellow bloggers are putting the finishing touch ..read more

There are only a few days left. Everything but her "in the hoop" and  "edge to edge" d ..read more

The winds of March have blown in and we are spinning here. In fact a storm blew through last week that dumped over 2 feet of snow in some parts of the city. Thankfully were I live, we only saw about a foot and that melted almost as fast as it come down. My twirly-whirly project was finished, but getting a decent pictures was a challenge. You can see our "stick to the ground", snow total after 2 days. LOL!! I am definitely not complaining, although I am one of those crazy people who actually love to shovel snow. This picture was taken the day after the big storm The winds were a blowing ..read more

  February is the month of love, and I have fallen in love with card making using my embroidery machine. Being a quilter at heart, I prefer to stitch the cards to a little quilt sandwich instead of paper, though. This is from "Designs by JuJu" and they stitch up in 15-20 minutes on cardstock paper. I am still on my mission to stash and pattern bust, so this month, my project was a new table runner for Valentines day. This pattern has been in my to do pile since 2014. A decade! Holy cow, now I'm afraid to dig deeper in that pile. This is "Topsy Turvy Moose" who was supposed to be Nor ..read more
