Squirrel Attack!

My day started with shovelling and raking the soon to be patio area. The truck was coming with a pallet of paving stones so it had to be done. DH and I headed out but could only work in short stints. The mosquitos were eating us alive. Horrid beasts. In the break time I wasContinueContinue reading “Squirrel Attack!”

Another DrEAMI Project

I saw a post on Desert Sky Quilting that had me intrigued with the thought of doing another fun scrappy project.

That’s what happened to me – the attack ofContinueContinue reading “Another DrEAMI Project”

I Love Thursday

This has been another week of troubling news; more trouble during a wellness check, Chief being violently abused during a traffic stop, watching the news from America. My heart is heavy with all that is going on and the increasing numbers of positive cases as our country re-opens. It is not always easy to seeContinueContinue reading “I Love Thursday”

That meant I could move things around and get my sewing space in order. I moved my sewingContinueContinue reading “Saturday Goings On”

Of course I commented becauseContinueContinue reading “Friday Fun”
