Good morning, my friends. It was a day like any other rainy day here. We had a few strong wind gusts with the added bonus of all the kitty beds and kitty towels flying everywhere on the catio. We had to clean up their house this morning. Must be nice to be a furry four-legged person with maid service on demand.
Warm and dry inside, I took the first stitches on April's block for the Sewing Room
Good morning, my friends. We had some beautiful weather over the weekend, but it looks like we're in for a wet week. We're promised a lot of rain over the next several days. Oh well. It's nice while it lasts. At least it's warmer than it was a month ago.
Since I missed my NBS day on Sewturday, I designated Sewnday as an alternative NBS day, and that's what I did yesterday. All sewing, all the time. The morning started with me taking the first stitches on the second block for "S" is for Sew ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. Well. What a day we had yesterday. By day's end, Smitty was channeling our combined energy.
A lot has happened since we last chatted. Let's start with the sewing, shall we? I have some things to tell you about our day on Saturday, but I'll save that for the end. If you're not interested in hearing about the protest, please feel free to opt out when you see me climb up on my soapbox. For now...the sewing, and nothing but the sewing. And cats. Of course, there will be cats.

read moreGood morning, my friends, and thank goodness it's Friday! I'm getting my hair cut today, and there's just one other item on my list of to-do's. Aside from that, it'll be a mostly sewing day. We're going to see some nice weather over the next couple of days...always appreciated when I need to drive into town for any reason.
When I left you yesterday, Smitty was just settling in for a morning nap.

Good morning, my friends, and welcome to Thursday. There's not much on my agenda this morning. Just one housekeeping chore. The weather was looking promising a little while ago. Now, it's clouded over again. If the sun comes back, I might get out for a walk. There are lots of blooming things in the neighborhood just now.
There was plenty of time for sewing yesterday. I quilted the second side of the border for Jericho Walls.

Good morning, my friends. It's a red letter day at the Three Cats Ranch. Please join me in wishing a very happy 41st birthday to this handsome young man.

Good morning, my friends, and welcome to April Fool's Day. Be very careful today, my friends. There are pranksters around every corner. I, myself, am guarding against any pranksters at the grocery store who will try to make me believe grocery prices have come down. Yeah, and eggs are 10 cents a piece. And I didn't just fall off the turnip truck, so there's that. Okay then. Having established all of that, it's probably safe to go grocery shopping. I'm no fool. (Looks over her shoulder to see if anyone is laughing and pointing.)

Good morning, my friends. It was a rare no-sewing day yesterday. We had some errands to run in town, including picking up our fifth wheel from the shop where repairs have been under way for months. Finally, the fifth wheel is back home where it belongs. The slides might be moving more smoothly than they did when it was new. As it turns out, some water damage had caused the floor under the heaviest of the slides to sag, and that was creating some drag on the whole unit as we brought it in and out. The bedroom slide had ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. I'd say it's a Red Letter Day, but Blue Denim Day fits better. I'm happy to say I found some jeans I could live with...or live in, depending on how you think about it. Several of you mentioned the Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda style jeans. I shopped at Kohl's (since that seems to be the only store that caters to women of my, um, maturity these days). They had racks and shelves of Amanda jeans. I was looking for a darker denim, figuring they haven't been pre-washed as much. (Isn't ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. Well, our big scary storm turned into a big nothing burger yesterday evening. We got some rain, but barely any wind, and no tornados nor monster hail. (I think our northern neighbors in Washington got the worst of it.) The sky grew dark around dinner time. Interestingly, I could see a rainbow, even though we'd only seen a few sprinkles of rain. You can see it in the lower half of the image below.
