Have completed two queen sized quilts in the past couple months (just uploaded the pictures). The "Blended Trip" was last winters project ~ as some of you might recall, my 'Three-thousand, Six-hundred Twenty-one' pieced quilt! The blocks were 3 inches and I included a close-up picture to show off the quilting.

I have primary Lymphedema and can't sit for extended periods of time, at my sewing table. But even an hour a day can produce the results I want & when I start out my day quilting, it… Continue

Here I go again.....

In January, I was challenged to join in on an 'Exercise Boot Camp' ~ on Spark People. My challengers or my "drag-ee's" (as I fondly call them) only lasted a week in the January boot camp.

Since George was busy at her house - I opted for the "rugged" type....love Sam Elliot!!!

Yesterday I felt skinny, gingerly walked up to Sam Elliot and stepped on. OMG - it can't be!! Stepped back - took off my shoes, took every thing out of my pocket and tired again. My weight stayed the same - which is fine,… Continue

January has come & gone....seems like the older I get, the more content I am to stay close to home. Whether it's sitting in front of my sewing machine (which makes me smile) or hunched over the computer diving into some historical records in hopes of finding links to my ancestors past.

January is a time for making new resolutions and this year the goals were more specific, more do-able. Early this month I joined an exercise "bootcamp" that consisted of a different exercise each day of the w… Continue
