Good morning, my friends. We had another relaxing day. It was Mike's birthday, and so I made him his beloved Eggs Benedict for breakfast. After breakfast, I went to work making a small dessert for our birthday dinner celebration. I tried a recipe for Lemon Pudding Cakes for Two. I happen to love pudding cake of any kind. Since I had everything I needed on hand, it was an easy choice. They had to bake for 45 minutes. When they came from the oven, they looked like this:

 To Do Tuesday - Last time's goals:

I thought I would add the last of my photos ...

The goal with my photography this year is to just enjoy the process and capture photos that bring me joy.  The lack of mobility due to my knee problems limited my photo excursions in March.  But I did get out a couple of times with the camera.  

Welcome to Wednesday Wait Loss! WWL is a place where you can share photos of quilts you’re working on and get encouragement to finish them from our Wednesday Wait Loss group!

First let me tell you what I've been up to

Last Wednesday, the Reflections Blog Hop began! I’m hosting the hop to celebrate my first collection with Island Batik—Reflections! Every day of the hop a new designer is sharing a quilt project made with Reflections fabrics. It’s been so inspiring and fun so far but the fun’s just beginning! Be sure to check ...

 One of my goals this week was to get the flimsy done for the spring door hanger.

I feel like I'm back in a marathon—there is so much to do, so many time limits and things take longer than planned! 

However, I got a few more things done, but not as much as I would have liked. I'm afraid that today is going to be eaten up with computer work, as I have a lot of emails that need to be sent and that need to be done today. 

I've mentioned missing things from time to time. One thing has been missing for years. It's an embroidery file I purchased many years ...

I have another fabulous and finished quilt to show you.
Do you remember this beautiful quilt top? 

I finished one end of the Carpenters Wheel and then later noticed that I forgot one square – I marked it with a pin so I wouldn’t forget to do that one little spot before I rolled it down to start again on Tuesday night The rest of the area already done – now it […]

I had it in my mind to write a blog post to tell you about the goodies I got at the cross stitch retreat. I know it’s been a bit since I’ve been there and I’ve been meaning to write about it. The pictures got buried and the other day when I was cleaning out …

 Most of the Sew Wots met at Jude's home this Tuesday, with one lucky lady and her hubby away on an overseas trip.  How exciting, it's been quite some time since we have done that.  After a general catch up, and a look through some magazines looking for a good home, we got down to the always exciting show and tell.  First up was Mary, who had just finished a pair of socks - the sort of socks which let the yarn make a statement.  So pretty in pink and green.

 This morning, I took my time getting to the grange. I took my "goldwork" piece with me. I wanted to see if I could finish it. I wasn't feeling great when I left. But I wanted to be with friends. 

This morning, we were woken up by a phone call. That was 8 am. I was hoping to sleep in today. Ron was calling to walk. He had Century Link coming to his house today and wanted to get it out of the way. I called him back about an hour later. We went walking around 10 am. 

I came back in and got laundry going. Then I came into the computer room and worked on sending out emails to QOV recipients letting them know it will be about 6 months. I received an email back saying she (daughter) was ...
