Good morning one and all!

What a beautiful day here today! The sun is shining and there is a little bit of a breeze. I am on vacation so I get to play a little bit! I have managed to get a package off to my grand-daughters in NY and to a friend for a tote swap. I picked my tote up from the PO while I was there... I shall get a pic when I can, this one is great! I even managed to get some chores done while I was playing! 


I have a silly yellow cat sitting at my feet giving me the 'pet me now' look. Every once in awhile I hear a soft little 'meow'... boy she sure can look lost and all alone at times...

I am on my way into the sewing room. Wish me luck on getting my stuff done!


Have a great day!

Happy Saturday!

Good evening all!

It has been a lazy day! I was going to work in my room today, but didn't even spend a minute in there. This morning I started playing with my KindleFire and of course the rest of the day was spent working on computers in one form or another. One of the books that I downloaded was in the wrong format so I had to figure out how to be able to read it. I ended up downloading the correct software on my computer. Then of course I had to read the silly thing! Now that is done and I can go back to reading my Fire... it is much easier that way LOL!

We did go out for a bit. I am in a tote swap in one of my forums and I had two ideas, but needed some supplies for each of them. I found the supplies for one of them at Tuesday Morning and then I was going to get it done today, but didn't work on it because I was being lazy.....

Yesterday I took a ride to Wickenburg with DH. It was a nice ride just spending time together and we had an early supper at one of the Mexican restaurants up there that we like.  We also stopped at one of the second hand stores while we were there. Interesting the way they had it set up. Some of the stuff was outside under a canopy, everything was dusty... We didn't buy anything of much value. I am looking for a couple books by Barbara Brackman. They are "Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns' and "Clues in the Calico: A Guide to Identifying and Dating Antique Quilts" These are a couple of her older books and have a hefty price! I am going to hit some of the second hand book stores around here, but if anybody hears or finds one of these books for a great price, please let me know... On Amazon they are going in the hundreds..... I also have not found them in the library either...

Well, it's that time again. I am headed to bed. I hope you all have a great day tomorrow!

Happy Turkey Week!

Boy, I can't believe I haven't been here since the beginning of the month! I sure have been busy otherwise! 

First off we have rented a new place! It is twice the size of the place we are in and I shall have a single room just for my machines and 'stuff'! Yippee! This new place also has a pantry! Not very big, but much bigger than the one we don't have now :).... 4 bedrooms, an eat in kitchen, family room and living room with a 2 car garage.... We shall be in room heaven! 

The next thing I noticed was my visitor counter has gone haywire! I don't think that I have had 447587 visitors~~~~ I just had a giveaway for the 10,000 visitor... I think I just may need to correct that number. I wish I had that many visitors, but lets get real here..

I finally managed to get to the Temple site this weekend. Oh my! We have great progress so you must go on over to 'My Spiritual Side' and check it out.

I also set up at a craft fair this past Saturday. It was a nice day--a little cool, but not to much. I did a decent job of selling little things, towels and wine vests were the main sellers. I guess I need to get more of them up on Artfire and have on hand for other craft fairs. I won't be doing any more this year because of the move. I am going to have a hard enough time getting any extra gifts done as it is. As usual I am procrastinating....

Well, I am off to 'My Spiritual Side' for awhile. Thanks for visiting and come back often.

New Page!

I have added a new page for your viewing pleasure. I am starting to do some tutorials commonly called 'tutes' in the quilting world. I wanted those that only want to have a 'how-to' area to visit to be able to find them easier. I will post a notification on my 'Life' page when I add these and for a place for comments and suggestions. Please let me know if these helped in any way and of course let me know if I confused you also! 

Until the next time,
