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!
https://1xmasitemamonth.blogspot.com/2019/01/happy-new-year-roll-call.html While surfing and reading blogs this morning, I came across this! 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”
Another Gift Done
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”
Productive Monday
I didn’t get much sewing done over the weekend, between a 75th birthday party for DH’s ex father in law ( we had the best time and even got to see the American contingent of the family!) and our annual Christmas party at the Slocan Valley Threads Guild monthly meeting. I did get to eatContinueContinue reading “Productive Monday”
Good Fortune Mystery QAL
How sweet is it when you get to spend the whole day sewing? Life can’t get better than that! The day started with chatting with my son in Saudi Arabia. He was telling my that Flynn, my youngest grandson loves his quilt. I made it with some beautiful flannels that a good friend, Claire hadContinueContinue reading “Good Fortune Mystery QAL”
Getting Spoiled!
DH must love me and appreciate all of my work and stress over the past year!
Some Sewing Happened!
For the past 2 days I have actually had time to get some sewing done! I managed to organize my 4 feet of space enough to work on some blocks. How fun is that! A while back I found a pattern on a great site, The Eclectic Abuela for her Boxes of Strings pattern. It’s aContinueContinue reading “Some Sewing Happened!”
I’m Done!
Finished the last of the dump runs yesterday. The move was completed October 31st, just on time. I. Wasn’t sure I’d get it done but I did. From 3500 sq t home with a 30′ X 80′ shop to 500 sq ft apartment! My studio space is about 6′ X 3′ now! Oh well it’sContinueContinue reading “I’m Done!”
2018 Q3 Finish Along
I am linking up with Leanne at She Can Quilt for the Q3 Finish Along; being very optimistic that the move will be done this weekend after I teach my group at the Guild on Saturday. I’m being optimistic because I have reached the point where I NEED time with fabric and machines! My listContinueContinue reading “2018 Q3 Finish Along”
Happy Happy Day
Seams to be Sewn. Moving day is October 15th for the move to our temporary home. Happy Birthday to me! I will be getting the keys next week and have already measured and sorted what goes where. I was a bit concerned that the light might not be adequate but today something wonderful happened! IContinueContinue reading “Happy Happy Day”
Funny how things change!
Yesterday was DH’s regular weekly doctor’s appointment in Nelson, BC. Stopped to get the groceries on my list and new SIM cards for our phones. Then I had to haul butt to the Golf course. We met Pat and signed a rental agreement. So it is now decided. After living in a 3700 square footContinueContinue reading “Funny how things change!”
The Move Is On!
All went well with lawyer today so possession date is Nov.1! DH and I then picked up a very busy 6 year old grandson for dinner and a sleepover. As I have been packing the Studio and the 2 upstairs bedrooms I have been filling the spare room with boxes and stuff. So Mikey decidedContinueContinue reading “The Move Is On!”
