Happy Mail Day!
This morning I headed to my Guild to get our last organizing day before our annual fundraiser done. After several hours of sorting yarn and notions, measuring fabric and pricing the lot, we hauled everything out to the shed. The shed is now completely full! We couldn’t fit another shoebox in it! The shed isContinueContinue reading “Happy Mail Day!”
Happy Easter!
Sharing a memory from nine years ago: The colours still amaze me; such a vibrant, blue sky and rich green on the Joshua tree makes for a fun colour palette. It would be nice to be seeing this now, but maybe in the fall. 😉
Friday Finishes
It’s been a week filled with errands, several trips to town, meetings and interviews and not one, but two power outages (the longest being over 8 hours), but I did manage to sew every single day and can even share some projects and even a peek at another almost finish with you. But first IContinueContinue reading “Friday Finishes”

To Do Tuesday #125 & My Weekly Recap
It’s been a busy week for me with Board meetings for my Guild and the Golf Course. That pretty much ties up 2 days with the resulting paperwork and chores.
