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. In turn my quilting/crafting productivity improved. This is good timing, considering Christmas is around the corner. I owe a debt of gratitude to the love my life, Ross. He supported me all month long. He only sighed a little [...]

After work I picked up my sewing machine. I feel so much better knowing that it is in its place. So what’s on my docket for tonight? Unfortanetly cleaning. This closet is out of control. I will attempt to regain control. Wish me luck!

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, [...]

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 [...]
