Hello and welcome to my To Do List. I have to say it’s been a good week. DH and I stayed home as always for New Years. I did go outside at midnight to see the fireworks that were being set off in various yards around the valley. It was nice to see, but IContinueContinue reading “Sunday Summary #231”
2026 Planning
2025 was a strange year with too much going on and for several months I had little to no time to do any stitching. The last part of the year things settled down and I was able to stitch with my machine and enjoy doing handwork almost every day. That means I need to setContinueContinue reading “2026 Planning”
Sunday Summary #156
It’s been two weeks since I managed to write my summary post, but I did have good reasons! The first week was a fun, crazy busy week with meetings and prep for a fundraiser at the Golf Club.

Project Quilting 14.6 the Final Challenge
Tish really likes to find challenges that stretch us to be more imaginative or creative. This week was no different: “So this week, you will confront something you fear. Your project must be about growing through exploring the unknown. What? Well, first sit down and ponder your way forward: personally, professionally, creatively, emotionally, or quiteContinueContinue reading “Project Quilting 14.6 the Final Challenge”
