Weekly Goals
I’m trying to break down my monthly goals to weekly ones to allot time for the bigger projects and still have time for any projects that pop up. My first project is to work on Mosaic Mystery. It’s been hanging around and getting pushed back on the list by other projects. I need to getContinueContinue reading “Weekly Goals”
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”
And we have a winner!
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. I said the giveaway would be a surprise and would depend on where the winner lived. Kind of strange, but since DH and are are retired, fundsContinueContinue reading “And we have a winner!”
Stitch It and Gift It
I saw this sweet post about another fun, idea filled blog hop on Creatin’ in the Sticks blog. Carla does have some fun ones and the creative team on the hop are amazing. This hop runs from Nov. 11-15th. I’ve seen the lineup. You won’t want to miss any of the stops on this Hop!ContinueContinue reading “Stitch It and Gift It”
Q4 Finish Along
Time to start a new list for the final quarter of 2019. This quarter will be a tough one. Next week I get to start taking my sling off to do some gentle exercise on my shoulder. Being able to resist the urge to do “just a bit more” will be difficult. I’m not sayingContinueContinue reading “Q4 Finish Along”
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”
Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let Down Your Hair!
Welcome to my stop on the OnceUpon Story Row Along! I was so excited to see the theme for this Row Along and had to jump in and volunteer when Marian announced the upcoming Row Along. She has been doing this Row Along for 5 years now! It’s been so much fun to read allContinueContinue reading “Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let Down Your Hair!”
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”
September OMG
My September OMG was to finally decide on a quilt for me! My last count I have completed 343 quilts. Each and every one has been gifted or donated. When I discovered that surgery was necessary and imminent I started getting organized and that was when I confirmed that I had indeed donated the lastContinueContinue reading “September OMG”
The Saga Continues
Just a quick update post surgery. According to my surgeon all went well. The severed ligament was reattached and anchored firmly. The tears in the other ligaments were repaired and my rotator cuff is as smooth as a really fine piece of fabric. My surgeon’s wife is a quilter so he knew what to sayContinueContinue reading “The Saga Continues”
September OMG
My September will start with surgery on my rotator cuff to repair the torn and severed ligaments that were damaged when I moved us last October to our sweet little apartment. As I was cleaning and doing laundry to get ready for Tuesday’s surgery, I realized that although I have finished 343 quilts in theContinueContinue reading “September 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”

You can read my original FAL post here: Q2 Finishes To top it all the prize was picking three of Melissa Cory’s patterns. I have been a follower ofContinueContinue reading “Winner!”
Playing Catch Up!
The past week and a half has had me busy running back and forth to town, having my teaching day at the Guild (very excited! I have a newbie Quilter attending! Another addict has been created.), dropping everything to go to a friends’ assistance when she had a quilting emergency, and getting the news thatContinueContinue reading “Playing Catch Up!”
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!”
