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”

Friday Follow Up

This has been a busy week. It all started a week ago Thursday when DH and I were discussing visiting some friends in the Okanagan Valley for a few days break. We were going to head out on Thursday. Then DH remembered that Kenny and Dee will be decorating for Christmas. My darling has aContinueContinue reading “Friday Follow Up”

October OMG

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”

Another Experience

This past week has been a busy one; a little sewing, a little canning, a little writing and a lot of medical stuff. Two hours drive one way gets me to Trail. I’ve been there 3 times this week; surgeon appointment, pre-surgery check in and today an MRI. I was in Nelson which is oneContinueContinue reading “Another Experience”

August Update

This month is turning out to be just plain weird! I’ve had successes with finishing some projects, getting sidetracked with Squirrels and too much time spent on medical stuff! For those of you who have been following my blog for a while, you might remember my misadventure in June. I had only slept about 4ContinueContinue reading “August Update”

Sunday Funday! Another Finish!

Blue skies and sunshine started the day just right. DH had his new golf cart delivered and I was lucky enough to spend my day sewing and fondling fabric. I have another finish! A runner and 6 placemats done. I was pattern testing for Joanne of Canuck Quilting. What a fun pattern and such aContinueContinue reading “Sunday Funday! Another Finish!”

Another Weird Adventure!

Last Tuesday I left home at 8:00 to make my 9:00 physio appointment in Nelson. After working with Stu for an hour, I had some errands and a quick stop at the fabric shop in Nelson before I headed to Castlegar. There I had banking and errands for DH to do. By this time it’sContinueContinue reading “Another Weird Adventure!”

Happy Mother’s Day to you all; be you mother, father, grandmother, aunt, son, daughter or person who has shared special time with a child.

April OMG

April is going to be a busy month with our annual fundraiser at the Guild and getting ready to head to Vancouver for DH’s 12 week treatment. I’m keeping my goals simple because of the schedule. First up: This pile of fabric goodness will be a finished quilt by month’s end; one of 3 forContinueContinue reading “April OMG”

Q1FAL

It’s always a fun time to record finishes. First up I have Charlotte’s sweater knitted, buttons sewed on and the parcel has been mailed! As usual, I forgot to take a picture after it had been soaked and blocked. Somewhere years ago, I was given a handwritten pattern for a children’s sweater pattern that isContinueContinue reading “Q1FAL”

This one is coming in like a lion with bitter cold days interspersed with snowy ones! Global Warming, you say? This months OMG List is a manageable one:ContinueContinue reading “March OMG”

February Block Count, UFO’s and Finishes

It was not a great month for sewing with so many doctor’s appointments and tests for DH and myself both. I was also trying to unpack, sort and set up our cute little apartment. I did become obsessed with checking emails and Facebook for pictures and updates on Ryan’s expected little one. It was alsoContinueContinue reading “February Block Count, UFO’s and Finishes”

Life Takes Another Turn

The exercise regime that DH and his doctors and therapists have settled on for the next two weeks is having great results. He is walking better, his shoulders are almost level and his range of motion is increasing. Yesterday he reached the point where he was able to do a full hour of activity withoutContinueContinue reading “Life Takes Another Turn”
