I noticed that my light colored under-lovelies were grey instead of white, after only a few runs through the very unimpressive washing machine. 
I decided to hand wash the delicates and my socks. I divided them into lights and darks and then started with the lights. A couple of years ago I found this… Continue reading Possibly Gross – Laundry
Workbasket – Layette Done!
This last weekend I had a couple of hours to work in my sewing room. I was almost at a loss for what project to work on, then I remembered that last time I straightened up the room I put many unfinished projects (UFO's) into one location. I hurried over and opened it up. This… Continue reading Workbasket – Layette Done!
Workbasket – Layette & Succulent Wall Hanging
The layette project is almost at an end. Being that I had started this project as a gift for someone else, but it was no longer needed, I hadn't initially had a hard "finish by" date.

We were all coming together for some special occasion dress shopping. I stayed with my friend LB and her fiancé, in the cutest little house… Continue reading A Nice Long Weekend with Lady Friends

After finishing the Carlton Wine Country 5K on… Continue reading A Wonderfully Long Holiday Weekend
Workbasket – Layette progress and a new project
Now that I have finally finished DW's birthday quilt (from last year), I gave myself permission to start a new project. I can share it with you here, because MIL & FIL both don't FB and/or read this blog. So, knitting ladies, don't spill the beans! While on summer motorcycle trip, I snuck in a… Continue reading Workbasket – Layette progress and a new project
DW’s Birthday Quilt – Many years, and three homes, in the making of…
This project has only been in the works for approximately 5 years. It might be longer, but that is all I am willing to admit to. By "in the works" I mean that I actually cut out the t-shirts, Freychecked the edges, order the how-to book and the templates for making the quilt. Until now,… Continue reading DW’s Birthday Quilt – Many years, and three homes, in the making of…
