30 Days

Today is the last day of NaBloPoMo. I did it! I’m so pleased with myself. The daily blogging process helped me in so many ways. It motivated me to come up with good content for each post.

He supported me all month long. He only sighed a little [...]

A Quilter’s Christmas Tree

A couple of months ago, I started working on this little embroidery project. I saved the project for moments when I needed a hand work project. Last night I stitched my last embroidery stitch, and today I assembled it into a wall hanging. I used this Moda charm pack for my assorted red and greens. It worked perfectly. I was able to use several prints without buying fat quarters. Since I successfully used this charm pack, [...]

Another Dull Post

If I weren’t trying to post every day, I probably woudn’t blog today. So I search for a writing topic. Today is a lazy day. Ross wanted to host a movie day with my family. So day we are watching “Movies that wouldn’t have succeeded without Gene Hackman.” We’ve watched Unforgiven and French Connection I. Still in the queue are French Connection II and Royal Tantumbaums. The first two movies were interrupted by the Utah [...]
