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!”
I Was Featured!
While I was getting caught up on emails this morning, I found an email I hadn’t opened yesterday. I was really enjoying reading about Jennifer’s jaunt to Spring Market and getting caught up in all her adventures, meeting people, seeing treasures and staying in sweet spots. Then at the bottom of her post I sawContinueContinue reading “I Was Featured!”
May OMG
I can hardly believe that it is May already! I’m also wondering how everyone else did with their OMG. I had planned on getting all 3 quilts done for the fundraiser for the golf course. I did not get even one finished! This is the first of the three and is a completed flimsy. IContinueContinue reading “May OMG”

We were talking about sewing and quilting and it turns out this young lady is interestedContinueContinue reading “Quilt Qwazy Queens”

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”

Introducing Our Sweet Levi
Finally this little man was brought into our world at 9:20 this morning. Isn’t he just the cutest little bundle of joy? The doctors had warned us the little man would only be about 5 lbs. Boy were they wrong! He weighed in at 7 lbs 9 ozs. His sweet momma was a real trooperContinueContinue reading “Introducing Our Sweet Levi”
Happy Monday
What a whirlwind few days we’ve had! I haven’t had a chance to make the three additional blocks I need for Levi, my on his way now, third great grandchild. They are at the hospital now and the waiting has begun! And yes, it was slipped that baby is a boy and his first nameContinueContinue reading “Happy Monday”
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”
One Monthly Goal
I was able to meet my January goal of getting some bags and pouches done to get myself organized. I also got caught up with my Quiltville Good Fortune Mystery Quilt. Can I do the same in February? I do have several town trips for doctors appointments and a trip to Kelowna for the MSContinueContinue reading “One Monthly Goal”
Had to Join the Elves!

What a fun idea to keep on track for a fun and stress free Christmas. It also works hand in hand with my 2019 Plan to get my UFO List down to nothing and my Projects To Do List done. I’m in forContinueContinue reading “Had to Join the Elves!”
Update!
We got home Tuesday night after a fairly stress free trip. I managed to stay ahead of the snowstorm that was forecast. It was good driving with only one bad stretch with slush and snow through the pass on the Paulson. I think we were both in bed by 8:30! The next morning we hadContinueContinue reading “Update!”
The Next Adventure Begins
Well, we made it to Vancouver today after leaving home yesterday. The trip over the Blueberry Paulson was rough with a lot of snow and very slushy roads. DH took a turn at driving after we got on to clear roads. I took over again at Rock Creek. Just after I started driving the weatherContinueContinue reading “The Next Adventure Begins”
Hope Springs Eternal
I saw that Kim at Persimmon Dreams had a quick Hop going on and decided that I would jump in with a couple of quick projects. I finished up my projects but forgot to account for the different time zones when trying to link up this morning! Good thing I had fun anyhow! With theContinueContinue reading “Hope Springs Eternal”
Happy New Year
I’m hoping you all had a wonderful Christmas filled with family, great food, fun times and perhaps even some time to fondle fabric. Mine was an unusual one this year. We left home on a rainy, slushy morning and headed to Sandpoint to spend some time with DH’s wonderful sister in law for her birthday.ContinueContinue reading “Happy New Year”
2018 Recap and Planning for 2019
As we get closer to the end of the month, I have been looking back at a year of changes, stress, new adventures and so many memories being added to the collection. We started the year in our lovely 3500 square foot home with the monster 30 x 60 shop and are ending it inContinueContinue reading “2018 Recap and Planning for 2019”

Had another great day today. Managed to finish one more Christmas present and get bindings done on two mini quilts in between drafting legal documents for the real estate deal. I will post the photos of the minis when Janeen publishes her patterns. We got a call this morning that DH was accepted in toContinueContinue reading “Another Gift Done”
