My Day on It’s Cool to be Square Blog Hop

When I saw the announcement for this Blog Hop I knew I wanted to participate and even what I was going to make. It was predetermined! Right? Wrong! I had my fabrics pulled and pattern printed. Then I’m not sure if it was Covid Brain or the squirrels visiting me again but things changed. 🥴ContinueContinue reading “My Day on It’s Cool to be Square Blog Hop”

Friday and Saturday; A New Adventure!

In case you didn’t know I recently spent a couple of days moving my little sewing space around and reorganizing things. It is part of my spring cleaning regime.

March 15 -21 Progress and Goals

To say it’s been an interesting week is putting it mildly. I’m not sure if any of you have experienced any of the hysteria based behaviour, but it is fully in force here in the Kootenay region of British Columbia. Just a reminder that through the stress and anxiety, we all need to remain calm,ContinueContinue reading “March 15 -21 Progress and Goals”

I Love Thursday

I love the fact that after 2 days of snow, the sun is shining today and we have pretty blue skies. Wednesday morning 6:00 am view before the snowfall increased. On Wednesday DH had an appointment with a surgeon so we had to go to town. On the way home the car hit some deepContinueContinue reading “I Love Thursday”

Day 2 Post Surgery

Another adventure has begun! Had the cataract surgery on Monday. I admit to being scared witless beforehand😩. All in all it took less than an hour from when I got to the hospital to walking out the door! My surgeon was fantastic and explained things as he was proceeding. He was satisfied with how everythingContinueContinue reading “Day 2 Post Surgery”

Squirrels, Squirrels Running Every Where

Yesterday I started piecing a quilt for a pattern test I’m doing. I had everything cut and ready to spend the day sewing geese. Then a squirrel ran through my head! I called and emailed my quilters to get a bee together tomorrow to make blocks for the Australian Groups that are making charity quiltsContinueContinue reading “Squirrels, Squirrels Running Every Where”

Mosaic Mystery Update

This morning we had to go to Nelson for DH’s doctor’s appointments. Normally a 50 minute drive. We have severe storm warnings out so it took me an hour and a half to get there. After the appointment we stopped for prescriptions and groceries. The trip home took me just over 1 3/4 hours. ItContinueContinue reading “Mosaic Mystery Update”

November OMG

I can not believe November is almost over. It seems like it just began last week! The fact that there is still no snow on the ground makes it even more difficult to believe. I did manage to turn theses sweet piles of cut fabrics in to a finished top: Blue and cream beauty! ItContinueContinue reading “November OMG”

In my post on the Stitch it and Gift It Blog Hop I let everyone know that I was having a giveaway for one follower of my blog.

Then DH remembered that Kenny and Dee will be decorating for Christmas. My darling has aContinueContinue reading “Friday Follow Up”

Can you believe it’s October already? I sure can’t. The weathers here is still mild, the leaves are just starting to fall and there is just a skiff of snow high up on the ridges. As of tomorrow it will be one month since my surgery so my goals for the month will have toContinueContinue reading “October OMG”

Sunday Sewing

This week was a good one. I’m doing my physio daily and saw my surgeon for the 2 week follow up post surgery. He is pleased with my progress. The incisions are all healed up so I can shower as long as I keep a sling on. The first time switching out of Big BerthaContinueContinue reading “Sunday Sewing”
