Well another week has just flown by. It was pretty good for me, how about for you? I am just finishing up a Farmers Market Bag, first one I've made for myself!Of course it still needs the handles, need to finish that up today. I wanted a nice big bag for the show this weekend.I am taking a whole week off of blogging.. probably. We get home mid-week but who knows how fast we'll get back in the

Hi there! How are things in your neck of the woods? Elizabeth and I are finally done with our project!This is Key to My Heart! I love the cheerful look of this pattern. And for all of you who have been asking for Elizabeth's instructions for finishing a pillow, this is your chance to get them! She's offering it as a printed pattern as usual, and also as a down loadable PDF!Head over to her blog

Yesterday morning I woke up really early and decided to just get up. Usually I decide to get up, but then roll over and pull up the covers and go back to sleep then kick myself when I wake up late feeling groggy from too much sleep. I made coffee then hopped onto the internet for some blog cruising with my new found free time. I almost shrieked when I saw this over at the Strawberry Patches Blog

Honestly! I could not be luckier if I tried. Yesterday April from Prairie Queens Quilt Shop emailed me some wonderful photos of their shop window. You can see the wonderful blocks from the Piece O' Cake My Whimsical Quilt Garden book. April said that she'd been waiting for the perfect line to make this quilt. I can't believe how darling all the blocks are.I'm so excited to see the display.

Hi there and welcome to Monday! It's not so bad once you get used to it, right? It was a nice cozy rainy weekend here in Livermore, how about where you live? I managed to get some sewing done, this is just a little corner of a project Elizabeth and I are working on. I used my nice red Aurifil 12 wt. thread for blanket stitching and I really like the results.I'm counting the days till the weekend

Hi there Friday, how are you? I've been looking forward to you all week. Which you know, for someone who's at home, seems weird. Isn't basically everyday Friday?Didn't get a ton done this week. Still working on the little project with Elizabeth. She is using felt for little leaves, but I don't have any nice green felt, so I fused two layers of fabric, traced the leaf shape and then cut with my

Yesterday I went up to Danville to Wooden Gate Quilts to drop off Elizabeth's new quilt Pam's Garden and Emma's English Posies, for display in their PKM fabric area. You know I've seen a lot of photos of my fabric in shops now, but somehow opening the door and seeing this right as you walk in .. well words can't express it. My head totally exploded off my shoulders. Honestly, what a thrill. I am

Yup, I finally pulled all my fabrics for the project Elizabeth and I are working on. Good grief I like to torture myself over selections.I used this cute label as my inspiration. It's a darling bottle of Ramune Soda... with 'marble'. I'm not completely sure what 'marble' is but I bet my dentist wouldn't like it. Actually according to the warning label I must not swallow the the opener nor try and

Brr people, it's late and it's still in the 20s here! But oh so gloriously sunny! I love the sun and plan on enjoying it, as later this week we'll have much needed rain.I had a bold visitor this morning while I was out in the backyard. This is a new to my yard little hummingbird. He's much more fat and colorful than the other hummingbirds, and apparently very friendly. He let me get quite close

Last Friday I went over to visit Holly for the afternoon. Typical Holly fashion we had lots of chatting and a wonderful lunch.Followed by a delightful dessert. Don't worry we walked it off hiking up that hill I mentioned before. The weather was spectacular, and even though it was late in the afternoon it was quite sunny and warm.Not only did we catch up on all the latest, I had a chance to see

Welcome to Friday, the gateway to the weekend! Love it right? I have some plans to meet up with this magazine this weekend. Valentine's season is pretty much my favorite thing about Christmas. Weird right? But I love that after what seems like months of Christmas decorations,things turn all red and pink. And feels like spring. It's safe to go to Target again. No holiday crowds.It's been really

So peeps, what did you do with your Wednesday? I spent the morning at the Hayward Hall of Justice (honestly, shouldn't some Super Friends be there?) in the jury room. But, I was totally lucky! Except for the first round pick of folks, we were excused around 11!! Then our parking was free! I couldn't believe my luck. It made waiting outside in the 32 degree morning chill for my turn through the

Everytime I walk down the hall I see my blocks for the Blogger's Block of the month in a little grouping. The more I walked by the more I didn't like the way that December's block turned out. I'm trying to make my blocks out of leftover strips from other projects, and I had some prints leftever from my pillow just waiting.I tried my block in two configurations, but in the end put the blue meeting

Yesterday I finished up the pillow. I had already quilted the top like my last pillow. All I really needed to do was decide on the backing fabrics, make some covered buttons and buttonholes.People who really get stuff done would have that done before lunch. People like Melissa. You should head there next and see the tutorial she has for a sweet little Coffee Break Buddy. You can use it for other

I hope the weekend was awesome! We didn't do much here, but we enjoyed some sunshine. The last of the front yard leaves were raked, and what wouldn't fit in the green can we bagged up for later. Backyard still needs quite a bit of work, but at least the neighbors can't see it. We actually had to turn on the sprinklers, it's been so dry here.I worked on some asterisk blocks and put together the

So by now you've all headed over to the Aurifil blog and downloaded your cute stitchery pdf right? I sure hope so because Roseann's Snowbird is darling. She had thread kits you can order and when I read her 'behind the scenes' post, she said she's got more plans for this.. so be sure and watch her blog. Honestly, I'm a regular follower of Roseann. I met her years ago when I visited her shop with

Good morning! Today my picture has nothing to do with anything, I just like that little biscuit jar and of course who doesn't love a cute Scottie? I'm pretty sure that's one of the few spots around the house that actually is how it's supposed to be.Yesterday I just couldn't get it together. I was up early enough, but I got bogged down on something so ridiculous that I COULD NOT LET GO. I couldn't

Good morning! What's new with you since we last met? We totally lost our minds and went out and got this.I know! Right? I've been wanting this since I saw the first commercial of crazy people dancing, and yesterday on a whim we just went out and picked it up. After what seemed like an age we got it up and running. Then, I put my paws up and got dancing.First off, WHAT THE HECK???? It video tapes

Good morning! So how was the weekend? Did you go out and paint the town? Things here were cozy like we like it. I spent the past couple of days reading the manual to my camera. Finally yesterday I popped the lens on the body and gave it a try.Honestly everything left on auto it takes a pretty nice picture, although it took me about 100 pictures to find that nice picture, then another few hours to

So the week has flown by hasn't it? We've been awfully lackadaisical I'm afraid, not getting much done at all. My blocks are still up on the wall where I left them, and maybe next week I'll make an alternate for #4, or at the very least replace those large triangles with a print. Thanks for all your comments and helpful suggestions.One thing in my stocking this year was a picture of a digital SLR

What's up today? For me it's my last trip to the market I hope. Need to make my list and get everything so I don't have to go back, you know it will be a madhouse! Yesterday I had a wonderful day over at Holly's.We had a quick hike before a delicious leisurely lunch.California is treating us to some spectacular weather lately, frosty mornings, sunny days and then cold nights.

Did you survive the weekend? I didn't realize this Saturday had a special name too, it was Super Saturday. What about you? Did you have to brave the crowds?I did sew again and it turns out I can't stop making these tea towels. I like a project that's all neat and tidy, and is done in a short period of time. I also finished a top secret Christmas gift. Well almost finished, the tedious finishing

Another week flew out the window right? They seem to jet by at the end of the year don't they? Are you making progress?I had one last project this week,this little towel. This time I cut out a cat from the panel with a smidge of white around the edge, and blanket stitched it to a tea towel with monofilament thread. I think it's pretty cute. Same old tea towel ruffle but I added some pom pom trim

I started this quilt a long time ago and you probably forgot about it. I finished it and I forgot about it. Well finish is a word I use lightly, the top is done, clearly it still needs quilting. It's a smaller version of Criss Cross and I think it turned out pretty cute. It certainly was fast and easy. This quilt also has been 'done' a while, and just waiting for a photograph. Last weekend Bret

Good morning! What's new in the outside world? Not much is new here in PKMville, just working on projects and enjoying some crime fighting tv! And coffee.. lots of delicious coffee to go with it. I've also been procrastinating, which you know, I excel at.Way back when, I made a little PamKitty book bag. It's really just a generic tote bag, but I could imagine taking it to the library and filling

Did you know that in the alphabet print, which is named Pam Kitty Loves You, actually has "Pam Kitty Loves You" hidden in the tossed letters?

Good Monday Morning everybody! How was the weekend? Turns out here, we weren't panic stricken, which was a surprise. I'm sure this week I'll get that crazy feeling again,but this weekend felt kind of relaxed almost. Can't last, right?I know in my interview with Tina, I said I wasn't making anything for Christmas gifts, but things come up and sometimes a cute handmade gift can come in handy. I

That whooshing sound we just heard was our week flying past! How can it be Friday already? I don't know about you guys but the panic is setting in. I'm working on a Christmas project, didn't get the great idea till the last minute. Probably not a genius move on my part. But isn't that how these things go?It was in the thirties again over night!

Tuesday I had a chance to head down to the Monterey Bay area for the day. The weather was absolutely perfect, like it usually is this time of year. Cool, but sunny and clear. I did all the stuff we normally do, head over to the cemetery to see the deer.. they were pretty lazy this time, normally they walk right up to your car. Then I headed to a little turn out spot along the scenic drive to see

After yesterday's shocking revelation about the proximity of Christmas, I promptly drank my coffee and got busy online ordering stuff. What about you? That managed to quell the inner panic and I felt like I deserved a bit of a reward. I mean it sounds perfectly reasonable, right?The kite ruler I had ordered had been sitting around for a while and I figured I'd better try out a block. I have a bad

Good morning my friends! How are you? Was the weekend good? I'll tell you what got me in a panic on Saturday, Twitter Santa tweeted there were only 2 more weekends till Christmas and I lost it. Did you catch up with me on Saturday over at Tina's place? There's still time to leave a comment for a chance to win a little stash off PKM goodness. Did you leave a comment over at the Strawberry Patches

This morning you can find my regular mug of coffee over at Tina's place! Tina is interviewing creative people this month in her Knitting Contrissmas Series. Twenty five days of creativity and I'm thrilled to be a part of the series. Today is Sarah's day here at PKM. Her morning cup looks lovely doesn't it? I think this photograph captures what I love about Sarah's quilts, they're rich with color,

It was a cold wind blowing through our neighborhood. Alice-Jane's shrubs are yellow with my leaves. I'll be out there as soon as it dies down.I had a leisure filled day yesterday, Frankie and I went over to Niles for some antique shopping and then had some tasty Chinese noodle soup. We might have watched some crime fighting tv. The end of the day brought a polka-package from my friend Sharon.

Ha! You probably thought this was going to be about some bad neighbors, but no! It's US!!! We're the bad neighbors. We have a large fruitless mulberry tree in our front yard. It's huge and covered in leaves that take MONTHS TO FALL. We're really bad about keeping up with the leaves too. Anyway, yesterday I went out to rake up the front yard, mostly cleaning up the sidewalk, street and

Luckily Monday is Law and Order Criminal Intent all day. Sewing and crime fighting just go together here. I got my block done, did you? Each one is interesting and I enjoy trying out other people's block construction techniques. Here's my block for this month. It's straight in spite of what this photo indicates.Sunday night we went over to Danville for dinner. When I saw these leaves I could not

Good morning peoples! How was the weekend? I'm dying to know if you went out and what you did. I stayed home, didn't leave the house at all, I mean even step foot out back till Sunday.Weird, right?Anyway, I got some awesome mail from my friend Melissa. She made me this darling pincushion. It started out in May when she made a pillow from Jennifer's book Girl's World. I fell in love. Then she had

How was it? We had a nice day here, hope you did too! What's on today's agenda? I cut a bunch of fabric Wednesday afternoon instead of cleaning up, so I'd have something to sew on during the day Thursday but never ended up having a chance. I plan on starting a new project today and maybe there will be some good crime tv to go with it if I'm lucky. Hope you guys have an awesome weekend. Can't wait

I know you guys never do this, but ugh, I've left a lot of stuff for the last minute around here. What was I thinking? One thing? You probably thought I forgot all about that pillow drawing.The winner is Pam from Chico! Pam, you need to email me your mailing info. I'll get that fabric and magazine in the mail to you Friday.

If ever there was a time to keep calm, the week of Thanksgiving is it, right? My big goal for last weekend was getting a big fatty Butterball Turkey and cramming into the fridge to thaw. As we say around here, no fresh turkeys for us, we like ours crammed with chemical goodness. It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without it.Today I urge you to head over to the Jolly Jabber, today they're featuring my

Yeah, definitely TGIF! Today I'm picking Bret up from the airport, he's back from two weeks away again. This may be the last trip of the year for work I hope! While he's been gone I have done a lot of sewing and computering and dinking around the house. And don't forget my plumbing experience! Not that I want to assume all plumbing duties from now own, but I like knowing I can help myself if

Good morning everybody! How are you today? I don't know how the week has gotten away from me, but I sure felt busy. This morning I'm working on a little blue project. Hopefully will have more to share tomorrow.I'm having a hard time picking which project to work on next. What are you working on? I think I have spent too much time on Pinterest to commit to any one thing. Ok, better get to work!

Hi there! So what's going on at your end? I finished sewing my rows together yesterday and now Criss Cross is ready for the quilters. I like how it turned out, although design wise, it would have been better to have that red on white dot or a yellow with less white, which would have made the chain crisper. But I like it, that alphabet is so darn cute.Here's a close up of the quilt and blocks. It

Good morning, welcome to a new week fresh and full of promise! We had a bit of sunshine yesterday and it's got me in a good mood! Did you have a good weekend? I managed to get a lot done. I have more than half my blocks sewn into rows on my Criss Cross Quilt, I finished up my pillow and managed to get some stuff done around the house. It's amazing what a little sunshine will do!We're in the hard

Oh yeah, you never thought you'd see this on my blog, right? I know I didn't. But when my sink backed up and there was no one around to fix it for me I decided instead of whine and wait around, I'd just take care of it myself. I've booked a lot of hours with Mike Holmes, so why not?I worked on it in the evening with the tools at hand, but the clog was beyond the reach of anything laying around.

Good morning!!! Today's coffee is extra delicious because it's in a Quiltmaker 100 Blocks Volume 4 mug!I'm very exited that my block, Round Rosie, was included in this collection of wonderful blocks. It's a simple old fashioned block, and I think would make a nice alternate to a chain block.You can imagine my delight when I saw the cover of the magazine! I feel like a movie star. Thanks to

I really underestimated the amount of time making these blocks would take. I finished them up last night right before dinner. They're so cheerful. But honestly, I think we all see the problem here. You're just too nice to say anything.My love for the yellow piece and the alphabet print interfered with my good judgement. Too much white in the yellow print, it reads pretty much the same as the red

Seems like the weekend flew by right? Is it the time change, I'm not sure? I hate to blame it all on that. It was Bret's birthday on Saturday, so we spent some time doing BretStuff, mainly eating out and going to Fry's. That's how he likes it and we like to indulge him.I also indulged myself in some sewing. My blocks are nearly done, I have about half left to put the last row on, then it's

Happy Friday sweet people! The week has been a blur, you know? I can't believe suddenly it's Friday already. So how was Thursday? I had a busy one, lots of stuff done, including all the strips sets for my quilt. This morning will be devoted to cutting them up and sewing them back together! By next week this pile should turn into a Criss Cross Quilt. I even managed to repiece that block, much

I'm back people, and it was great. Not quite as much booth hopping as I would have liked,but still overall a wonderful few days. And the best part, busy! Quilt market seemed far busier than it has in a while, and that's good news for all of us right?I ran into Karin, aka Madre Karin and she had a lovely little surprise for me. So very sweet and thoughtful. Thank you Karin! You totally made my day

Good morning friends! I'm off to the airport this morning. I know it's weird but we'll all get used to it. Lucky me, I am meeting up with my friend Melissa and we'll be sharing a cab to the hotel. From there I'm meeting up with Jackie for some chitchatting! Although there wasn't much premarket sewing, I did come up with some digital quilt designs featuring the latest Lakehouse offering, new

Usual stuff.Got my fabrics ready for my Bloggers Block of the Month block.

So yeah, totally weird to just be lounging about before market. Yesterday Frankie and I had a nice lunch at the Nordstrom Cafe in the Valley Fair mall. Today I'm going to make a block, it's that time again and this month's block is courtesy of Vicki, are you following along? There's some other fun stuff out there, have you seen Monica's Christmas Tree Pants quilt along? It's awfully tempting.

Greetings my favorite peoples! How was your weekend? We had a long weekend, Bret worked from home on Friday so we were able to run out and have a nice lunch in Danville at Chow. I loved all fall decorating, and had to crack up over this scene right by our table.. looks like someone forgot their little doll who's sitting atop the large pumpkin.Shocking I'm sure, the quilt top is done.

So how was the week for you? Slow here, especially for the week before market. I can't wait to get the go ahead to show off the quilts I designed using the new Lakehouse fabrics. Of course there's no sewing involved at all in those designs, so far the fabric is only on paper. But its lovely. You'll see.I finally finished all the blocks. Any slower and I'd be unsewing! But it was fun, and I've

So what did you do with your day? I made some more of these blocks. I'm just taking it slow, no hurries.After a bunch of paperwork, which you know, these days doesn't even involve paper but you get what I mean, I treated myself to watching my recorded Masterpiece Mystery, Case Studies. Laurie mentioned it on her blog, and of course I had to tune it. TV while doing nothing else is such a decadent

How was the weekend? Didn't plan on dropping off the map, don't know how last week just got away from me. Had a blast over at the Lakehouse Studio, including a fab lunch out in San Anselmo. Delish. Finally finished the Farmer's Market Bag for Alex. I think it turned out cute. It's an easy bag to make, especially if you're not a procrastinator.I cut up some of my own delicious fabric to start on a

Yesterday the mailman brought me a wonderful package from Monica. It included a couple of pieces of her fabric, in laminate. She had said the smell of it reminded her of summer and those inner tube things we had growing up.Indeed it does.

I have the last of Alex's bits of yardage for her upcoming line Leila Rose from P & B.This pile will turn into a purse, I'm making my Farmers Market Bag for her so she can show off her pretty fabrics while she's on the go, and believe me Alex is always on the

Shocking to see something like embroidery here in PKMville! Usually I don't have patience for this kind of thing. Maybe it was the cozy rainy weather, who knows. I just sat down and got busy.This is part of a little PKM fabric project. I've had the idea for a long time, I just kept putting it off. It's not the greatest embroidery but it will do. My wonderful yellow dot on white is wonderful to

Good morning! The week is just scurrying along isn't it? Yesterday I finally got around to making my Blogger's Block of the Month block designed by Sherri. It's an easy block, once you figure out what fabrics to use. You can find Sherri's instructions here.Luckily the only points I cut missed were in that photo, but why lie, I did need to rip and restitch one of those seams twice.Did you make a

I took a bit of a sewing break yesterday after a weekend of nonstop stop sewing. Time to catch up on stuff around here, you know, laundry, picking up around the house, that kind of thing. Fun and boring at the same time. The weather changed up a bit, it was cool in the morning like a real fall morning. You know, suddenly when it just seems different? Not that a few more 90+ degree days might not

Sew Sew Sew that's what I did all weekend. Thank goodness there were a couple of Law and Order marathons to watch! Saturday I worked with Rosie's new line of fabric (go check it out on her blog, delightful) and Sunday I worked with Natalie's, shown here.Elizabeth cut out the fabric for me, and made each into a nice little kit, so it was sweet mindless sewing. I like that, you just sew and press

I have been doing a little cutting the past few days, in between working on new patterns and making trips to the airport and catching up on stuff around here. Well it's more than a little cutting. Look at this lovely pile of prints, that's 51 out of 63 there, and they look so cheerful to me I could just stare. All day. But I won't, because even more fun that cutting and piling up... ...sewing.

Here's another batch of Alden Lane Quilt Show photos. First off my friend Nurse Payne. It was so great to see her (and yes, honest, she's an actual nurse!) and have a minute to catch up. Usually we rendezvous in the freezer section at the supermarket. This was the perfect time to chat.I love this series of color studies. I wish I could have gotten a better picture. I'm hoping that The Quilt Show

Another great quilt show at Alden Lane this weekend. The nursery is so beautiful and the weather really cooperated on Saturday, breezy, not too hot.I love the plant groupings, it reminds me a lot of gathering beautiful fabrics together in a display.I thought the quilt through the trellis was so pretty, like it was placed there to be framed as part of the display.The back of the quilt was just as

Well it's totally nuts that the last time I posted was WEDNESDAY NIGHT???? That is all kinds of crazy. If you were imagining me leisurely cutting and sewing with some PamKitty fabric, I sure appreciate the thought. None of that went on. I did get a bunch cut, went to the Alden Lane quilt show, saw some great people including people I haven't seen in YEARS (I'm talking about your Sharon G.) saw

Lots going on here at CasaKitty, what's new with you? Yesterday we had a couple of power outages. First in a long time. I don't know if they were heat related or just your random outage.. but the aftermath is never pretty. All that resetting of devices and clocks. Painful. And if any of you are automatic sprinkler designers, a pox on you. Just saying. Tried to enjoy some swing time but it's just

And just like that it was done. That's a lesson I just refuse to really learn. I mean I know it doesn't take long, I just refuse to buckle down till there's a deadline.Machine quilting just isn't my favorite part of quilting. I want it to be, I love beautiful quilting, machine or by hand, but my patience just isn't always up to the part. That and my table is rarely cleared enough for extensive

Well sort of. I need to machine quilt and since my normal usable space is the size of dinner plate under my machine needle it had to be done.I thought you might enjoy seeing it.Have a happy weekend everybody!!! xo

No sewing going on here. I'm just hanging out thinking any day my fabric will show up. Of course I've not given any thought to what I might make with it.Do you read Molly Flander's blog? She's is making a wonderful spiderweb quilt using this ruler, and so OF COURSE I ordered one. I think it will be a handy one to have on hand. I love a pretty nosegay block. And of course love a nice copy cat.So

Sometimes the weekends are over in a flash, you know? I know I was busy, but doing what? Not sure.. I did get my blocks for Amy and Anabel done. Today I'll hop down to the post office and mail them to Sarah.I also got some other sewing done. I've been invited to join in on a fun project, more details later this week. I hope you'll all be as excited as I am. More on that later.I hope you had a

So Wednesday was super fun. I took off at the crack of dawn.This is the last of my through the windshield photos, driving through agricultural areas of the valley leaves you with a very buggy window. I really am remiss about photos these days, so here's the highlights! If you want to check out what I made Amanda, check out her cool photos here.After a delicious gobbler sandwich at The Black Bear,

Spooky right?I'm off on a fun day trip today! I'm heading up north to visit Amanda, you might know her better as Ms. McPork Chop. She's famous for a lot of stuff, including being one of the instigators of the whole Farmer's Wife Quilt Along. We're meeting up for our mutually favorite gobbler sandwiches at the Black Bear, then heading out for some quilt shop hopping! Have a super day everybody!!!

So what did you do with your long weekend? We had a 4 day weekend with Bret home, I love the Fridays he's been taking off, it is nice to have him home more, and I'm glad he's getting a chance to use up some of his vacation so he doesn't lose it. We never do much of anything in particular.. in fact I can't even remember where we went that we headed out past the fruit stand. I love that 'cocos

Unearthed here at PKM Headquarters, a whole stack of half yard pieces of Piece O' Cake fabric from 2000, Sunday in the Park.I still love it. I wonder what I had in mind for these? Well back into the vault for now. Those girls still have the same fresh style don't they?Ok everybody, its the long weekend so I will see you back here when it's over!! Be safe and have fun! xo

This is a shocker right? I think it was the 26th that I posted the new ironing board cover and here it is.. still clean, an empty sight to behold. When I was growing up, my dad used to call us all 'pilots'. Not what you think, we 'piled it here and piled it there'.. a symptom of early onset hoarders probably.Knowing that in a few weeks, dare I voice the numbers two or three, my advance yardage is

I feel like I'm wasting your click here today.. holy cow I got nothing! Monday I had a great lunch out at Bette's in Berkeley with Holly and her friend Tracy. It could not have been better weather that's for sure. Hot for us out in the valley but in Berkeley, perfect mid 70s I think. We walked around the 4th street area for a bit after lunch, then parted ways. I really loved the little pet shop

Long weekend right? I spent a good portion of it glued to the news and twitter hoping to hear news from my east coast pals. I hope eventually we'll hear from everyone and they'll be ok. Didn't do much around here that was exciting. The weather was hot, so we did some outside stuff in the mornings and then stayed indoors the rest of the day. What about you guys?

Grab a good look at this.. a brand new clean ironing board cover. This assuredly is the last time it will be nice and clean, especially considering my iron is covered in spray starch residue. Maybe I'll clean that off in a few minutes. Anyway, I love a nice clean canvas cover.. and believe me, I had to go all over to find one. The only saving grace to what had turned into a really frustrating

Even when the weather is due to be hot the porch is still pretty pleasant if you go out early enough. This fellow features himself the lord of the backyard, but doesn't want to reveal his features to us. No matter how many photos I take. In case you think I've done absolutely nothing, here's proof that at the very least I stuck a decal on this little spice rack. I still have some leftover

Good morning! I've gotten quite lackadaisical around here haven't I? It's the end of summer and I'm slowing down a bit I guess! Anyway Frankie and I went up to Wooden Gate on Monday. And check it out, it's Super Zig! I just love how their version turned out. It's a kit by the way.. you can contact Wooden Gate if you'd like one. You can see they have the whole front display dedicated to Monica

So how was your weekend? I had a nice one, which included some time with the Debbies! Right off let me just confess I didn't even bring my sewing machine. I just couldn't get my act together to get something cut out, but in the end I'm glad because I got some serious baby holding in as Debbie has a new grandbaby. Food is right up there on the sew day list and the Debbies made a delicious lunch

Happy Friday people! Do you have any big weekend plans? I have a sew day with The Debbies on Saturday. I don't know that I'll actually get any sewing done, but I'll enjoy a nice visit with them. I finished my little hexie test yesterday. I think the idea is good, but my execution is poor. I'm using the method that I talk about here, for the Hickory Nut block. Last time I used the invisible

Yesterday was ok, how about for you? I had some coffee time on the swing that was nice. You can tell already it's feeling fall.. it's taking the sun longer to shine down on the swing, which is pretty nice, but makes for a lazy morning if I'm not careful. I got out the Go! Baby and cut some hexagons. Maybe by tomorrow I'll be farther along than this. So what's up with you?

Finished up my pillow yesterday..and I think if you go back and refer to the original quilt I saw here, you'll see I made a critical error. Yeah go take a look and then come back and have a good chuckle on me! Just now I loaded the photo in and thought to myself , you know I bet this would be darling if the snowballs were yellow and white and not alternating. DUH. THAT'S HOW IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE

Things moved pretty slow this weekend. Honestly, I don't even remember what we did, except maybe we went to Fry's and I waited in the car. It was hot so possibly my brain fried while I was following along on twitter and reading a magazine. My pillow is prepped for the handwork. Somebody asked what brand of pillow form I like, and it's a Fairfield brand.. its nice and firm and full. Makes for

It's back to being warm here. I grabbed a few minutes out back trying to whisk away the millions of pounds of spiderwebs wrapping everything in my back yard. What's with that? I don't see any spiders, just webs wrapped everywhere. Eventually it's just feels too hot to be doing it. Of course this year our hot isn't all that hot thankfully. I'm sure September will be scorching to make up for it.

Yesterday I went to a pot luck lunch at my neighbor Alice-Jane's. It was a wonderful event with wonderful people and I really enjoyed myself. I made a big dish of chicken salad to bring. It's an easy recipe to make, you don't really have to measure anything. It's just canned or fresh chicken, cranberries, walnuts, celery and green onions all smooshed up with some mayo. The table was chock
