I Love Thursday
With all the scary numbers being reported on with the Covid 19 Pandemic, it’s more important now to keep in mind the blessings we have in our lives and the things we can be thankful for. 1. I love DH and the strange and wonderful things we wind up doing. Towing the golf cart toContinueContinue reading “I Love Thursday”
To Do Tuesday
Another week starting with more snow! I just keep reminding myself spring is coming! I realized that with the onset of Covid Brain, I hadn’t written many/any posts or managed to concentrate on anything so I decided to spend some time talking with old friends, reading (don’t ask me what I read. I deleted theContinueContinue reading “To Do Tuesday”
April OMG
April is starting slowly for me. The Covid 19 self isolating and social distancing is having a bit of an effect on me. I pick up things to work on and then put them down, only to pick up something else. DH told me to shop for fabric and gave me a budget. I lookedContinueContinue reading “April OMG”
March OMG and my Favourite Finish
My list for March was a very moderate one for me. I had some success and finishes, work on some and no progress on others due to the world crisis causing some adjustments having to be made to our lives. DH and I are self isolated because we are in the high risk category. ItContinueContinue reading “March OMG and my Favourite Finish”
March 22-28 Progress Report
It’s been a week! The emotions are erratic and I have been unsettled and disorganized. I’m sure you all can identify with these feelings. I’m telling myself it is a form of cabin fever. My list for my hoped for progress is: 1. Finish the binding on Star Crossed Plaid. On the last side. 2.ContinueContinue reading “March 22-28 Progress Report”
March 15-21 Progress Report
It’s been quite a week of fabric fun. I’ve decided that keeping busy while DH shifts back and forth between Canadian news and American news for 6 – 10 hours a day will make me crazy if I don’t find ways to tune it out. My first finish was piecing the flimsy for my projectContinueContinue reading “March 15-21 Progress Report”
My Day on Quilt Qwazy Queens
How are you all doing? I trust you are being socially responsible and isolating yourself in your sewing rooms? It sure feels like that’s all I have been doing besides normal housework and chores. I have found I’ve been spending more time on line than I usually do, but who can resist seeing what everyoneContinueContinue reading “My Day on Quilt Qwazy Queens”
Project Quilting 11.6

March 15 -21 Progress and Goals
To say it’s been an interesting week is putting it mildly. I’m not sure if any of you have experienced any of the hysteria based behaviour, but it is fully in force here in the Kootenay region of British Columbia. Just a reminder that through the stress and anxiety, we all need to remain calm,ContinueContinue reading “March 15 -21 Progress and Goals”
I Love Thursday
I love the fact that after 2 days of snow, the sun is shining today and we have pretty blue skies. Wednesday morning 6:00 am view before the snowfall increased. On Wednesday DH had an appointment with a surgeon so we had to go to town. On the way home the car hit some deepContinueContinue reading “I Love Thursday”
March 8 – 14 Progress Report and Goals
All in all I can say this week was a bit of a washout for me as far as my weekly goals getting accomplished. No finishes to report, but some progress was made. I did get some progress on my Star Crossed Plaid Quilt. It should be ready for binding mid week. I only gotContinueContinue reading “March 8 – 14 Progress Report and Goals”
