I say every year something like this: "next year, I'm going to start in January and work on my Christmas gifts all year long...then when November rolls around, I'll be ahead of the game and will have time to do the more simple and fun things, like baking cookies, making fudge, having time to volunteer, etc"...sound familiar??? So why is it that I rarely ever do that (I did one year only that I can remember)? We know that Nov & Dec just fly by and there's little time left to accomplish everyt… Continue

The air's had that crisp, wonderful fall feeling and last night I hear on the news that it's snowed on Copper Mtn, in Colorado! That's crazy! Makes me wonder if we're in for a long hard winter?

Fall is my favorite season of the year...I think of piles of leaves to rake (and jump in when young), the gorgeous fall colors, the clear crispness of the air, tons and tons of delicious apples, harvesting crops and getting the last of the tomatoes before taking the vines where they can last a bit longer… Continue

Heh there everyone! I just wanted to give a "heads up" to all who might be interested...in the group "Scrap Bag", we have a Paper Piecing Only thread where we share that particular love of quilting...and as it's often made with scraps, it's a great way to use them up.

When I first started paper piecing many years ago, my poor little brain j… Continue

You've all heard the saying..."April Showers Bring May Flowers", right? This saying sure fits this year where I live here in Colorado!

I love flowers and trees and the spring is such a time of renewal and hope don't you think? I've been busy paper piecing a couple of different Round Robins and am looking at the sunshine thinking it's going to be a gorgeous… Continue

The sky is gray outside and we're expecting another snow storm, this one bringing up to 13" in some places! What's up with that? Yesterday, I had to turn on my AC to keep things a bit cooler and the sun was shining and it was beautiful outside! In the 70's! The snow's supposed to be coming in from the west very, very slowly, so it can dump a lot of white stuff here in Denver, Co! That being said, I actually don't mind when it snows, as long as I don't have my garden in yet. I will cozy up with a… Continue
