We have a whole magic week ahead of us with not one appointment in it. I was going to do more leaves today, but we ended up heading out for a Mexican lunch and plastic replacement feet. Now, i...

Despite all my very good resolve, the quilt is coming along beyond slowly. The major design elements are finished, and all that remains to be done are leaves. Endless leaves. George reminds m...

Blogging friends are special. This morning, we were able to zip down to the train station and meet up with Brickpaver. I know him well from reading his blog. We toured the car, we hugged, we ...

Today we have sun. Today George is off to the pool and I am left sewing more leaves. Today more of that big quilt gets done. Fall is here. The wind blows the outside in at every chance it g...

Listening is all important. No one asked me what I was going to do today, but I can be found at the sewing machine. I’d tell you that if you asked. Most days I manage an hour or so there. I ...

A chilly and cold winter beach.

Yesterday had an overly busy quality to it. The morning doctor’s appointment was followed by a late lunch. We eat lunch early. The company couldn’t have been better, the service perfect, the ...

Saturday we had a quiet lunch by the bay. I was hoping the heron would show, and sure enough he was haunting one fisherman right in front of us. After the gentleman left for home, the bird hop...

What are you doing, he asked. I replied, Sitting in the dark, Alone, wishing I could get rid of The blackheads on my forehead, The tickling in my ears, cease scratching my ankle hives And eat l...

George is off to the Automotive Museum in the park shortly. The museum itself is undergoing new thinking via a new director…the third since Poolie died. The tile murals on the front have been...

George is off to his last OT appointment before meeting with the hand surgeon. I’m up and dressed early to write and snip threads on the Crow Quilt. I got a lot done, and I hope to do even bet...

It’s the 28th already? Amazing how fast the days go when you get older. I know, we all say that, but it is true. At least I have no more doctors’ appointments this week and for this I will be...

I did a lot of research about crows, and no matter what I did, on the quilt, most came out looking like doves. I could take the stitching out, but perhaps not. I’ll just be glad to have it don...

Our day will be like this only at home. Quiet, I hope. The car carrier passing us by, someone else setting up the chair cushions. I’ll grab a moment or two at the sewing machine to draft gold...

I admit to reading most of the Washington Post and the New York Times yesterday instead of sewing. They both offered a dollar a month subscription fee, and I grabbed it. But other interesting ...

That’s me. I’m an addict to my morning rituals. No matter what ever has to be done, I want to do certain things first. A half slice of bread and butter so my stomach likes the immunotherapy d...

“What did we do yesterday,” I asked G. “Costco?” “Yes,” he answered, and Costco for my new glasses, CVS, The Bagger for lunch, the jeweler to fix two gold chains, then back to CVS when they fil...

---

I started this project without a plan. That’s never good. Slowly it starts to come together in my mind as I stitch. I’m not at all fond of the heavy two piece center – which is too small for ...
