  • Refreshing my bathroom

    Refreshing my bathroom

    It has been about a month since we moved to our new home. It feels like a refreshing retreat! We sit out on the deck in the morning, drinking coffee, and enjoying the trees and the sound of birds and the fresh air. I feel so blessed. I wanted to extend that retreat feeling into…

  • Moving, moving, moving!

    Moving, moving, moving!

    Packing, moving, cleaning, painting, unpacking. Repeat. This has been my life since last December! First I helped my mom move from a four-bedroom house to a condo. That took about six months. Then, out of the blue, it was my turn! What an unexpected blessing. My daughter and her husband closed on the house on…

    Exciting News on the Home Front

    Sometimes the unexpected… Yes, a month ago we had no idea. But surprise! We’re moving! My son-in-law and daughter bought a new home, so we will be spending the month of July doing the shuffle! I know I never got around to showing you picture proof, but didn’t I just finish unpacking my studio? Actually,…

    First family dinner with the new grand babies

    Today we had our first family dinner with the new grand babies. A little chaotic, yes, but full of love! On my shoulders are Aliza (3) in pink and Hazel (5) in gray. On my lap is Boaz (3 weeks old) in the dark stripes with green monster feet and Caleb (1 week old) in…

  • Baby (non)quilts

    Baby (non)quilts

    It’s true. I haven’t made quilts for my two future grandsons, due next month on March 4 and March 13. For that matter, I haven’t made quilts for my granddaughters either, who are nearly 3 and 5. Poor kids. But, I did manage to make some simple baby blankets for the new babies. Very simple.…

  • Three years later

    Three years later

    Three years ago my world changed. My sweet hubby unexpectedly left this earth and went to heaven. What an awful day. So much changed that day. Some changes were expected. A lot of changes took me by surprise. Yes, it still hurts, and I miss him something dreadful. He was my closest friend: the one…

  • Room of Requirement Day 1

    Room of Requirement Day 1

    Last night I had just an hour or two to get started on tackling the Room of Requirement. I was able clear away enough stuff that I could actually step foot in the room! Woohoo! I felt that was a great accomplishment. Then I got overwhelmed and went on an adventure instead! This year DD#2,…

  • Room of Requirement – it begins

    Room of Requirement – it begins

    I’ve been procrastinating! But I thought if I confessed in front of everyone, maybe it would motivate me to get started on a big project! I need someone to hold me accountable. In the nearly three years since Sweet Hubby went to heaven, I’ve done virtually no quilting. I haven’t really even stepped foot into…
