So many projects....

A few more pinwheels on the design wall. Of course, I will not put them all up there since I need like 140+ of them. Still many more to go.

Of grandsons and jeans and hurricanes

| Just dumped on the table, there doesn't seem to be much sewing, but he had five pairs! |
Our grandson Lane, came for a visit last Friday. You know what they say, "They only come when they want something"? Well, it's sort of true. He gave me a hug, after informing me that he needed some jeans hemmed. Sure. Not a problem.
Let's see, clean and thread the machine, put in a new, extra-heavy duty universal needle (twice), replace the rotary cutter blade or at the very least sharpen it, spend 45 minutes cutting and sewing new ...

All Manner of Little Things
from Fleur de Lis Quilts and Accessories
Hi everyone! I have been taking pictures and thinking, "Oh this is something to blog about." But you know what happens? I get busy with other stuff and by the time I get on the computer, I'm just not into it. So the pictures get lost in the shuffle. And all the little things become distant memories. Not today! Instead here are some little things, little happenings, and little news bits.
Let's start with this stinker. Doesn't she look just so sad? I was sitting at the table doing paperwork and heard a whimper of a cry ...

Weekend Work

| This old hand-crank pump was the impetus. |
So what the heck. I made it quite clear that I am not willing to pull grass in a flower bed that we had abandoned years ago.
Richard: But everyone can see it (the abandoned flower bed) from the patio.
Me: Why does that matter? Look at the yucky mess the birds made ON the patio. (They throw seed on the bricks. Some they ... read more

| To See Such Fun |
We're in a new year it seems, so it's time to look back. I'll look forward in a day or so, but I need time to process last year. So much has happened, two new babies in the family, the loss of Richard's dad, my hospital stay and surgery.

Still, as it turns out, I've been quite busy in my little world.

Flowers and Fish (and more f-words)
from Fleur de Lis Quilts and Accessories
Is that not an odd combination? But, yeah, that's today's title. Flowers on my family's graves. Fabric for a new challenge I've found. And fish from our pond, thanks to a sweet husband. First though, I'm going to stop making all the fs bold. You get the idea, right? So enough of that.
Okay, the flowers are new silk flowers that Richard and I put on the graves of parents, grandparents and one great-uncle. Richard swept the graves to get the dust and leaves off while I arranged ... read more

Started a new one...
from ~ CowgirlQuilter ~
Thanks for the wonderful comments on my SIL's quilt. :) She gave it to my brother and he loved it. :)
I worked on my applique block. I had it ironed to the background but hadn't stitched around it. I got all of the green done but not the tulips yet. After I get this first block done I will prep another.
While I was working on the applique Richard built a grape arbor for me!!! He is just so awesome!!! I love it!!!
He's still on vacation and Thursday had some nice weather so we took the motorcycle ...
