  • Fitness Friday

    I’m linking up with Ozzypip and Sandy of Quilting For The Rest of Us for our Friday fitness accountability posts. Two days were spectacular as we were still in Disney World. Racking up steps there is super easy with all the walking around the parks and hotels you do. I haven’t been very good since […]

  • Throwback Thursday

    Today’s Throwback Thursday project was one of my very first quilting endeavors. I was so very pleased with myself for having succeeded in making this Log Cabin sewing machine cover that I made one for my mother as well! The one I made for my mother was blue and yellow. The pattern came from this […]

  • Announcing Fall Postcard Swap

    Happy Wednesday to all! I am happy to announce the details for the fourth and final fabric postcard swap of the year. We began this journey at the end of last year for the holidays. It has been a fun and creative way to connect with each other and I hope you’ll join me again […]

  • Fitness Friday

    This is a short checking in post as we are in Disney. It’s been a banner walking week for me as I have accumulated 97,850 steps since last Friday! I have to brag a bit because I won’t see these numbers again for quite a while!!! Lol!! I’m sure I’m eating way more calories than […]

  • Fitness Friday

    Happy Fitness Friday! This week I made decent progress on my walking. I hit over 10K steps every day but one. I am still walking in the morning before the girls are up and watching Bones on the treadmill which makes the time really pass quickly. If I don’t hit the 10K on my own […]

  • Tuesday Tidbits

    I have got a bit of a ramble of a blog post today. I was looking through the pictures on my iPhone and had a few there that I wanted to share. This week Lindsey made some homemade Rolo ice cream in her ice cream machine. It’s a Cuisinart machine that she got for Christmas […]

  • Fitness Friday & Art Quilt Progress

    I kicked my walking up a notch this week. It was the first full week that I really tried to hit 10,000 steps daily. I managed to get over 10k five out of seven days this week. On the two days that I didn’t, I had 9K and 6k. I have even moved up on […]

  • Throwback Thursday & Heifer

    I decided to link up with Quiltin’ Jenny today for Throwback Thursday. I made this quilt a few years ago when I first received my Accuquilt Baby Go Cutter. I couldn’t wait to make a tumbler quilt. I had seen a miniature tumbler quilt made out of 1930’s Repro fabrics at a quilt show. It […]

  • Rainy Weekend Progress

    The weather here is less than desirable for summer at the moment. It was rainy all day yesterday and very cloudy today. I didn’t mind one bit though because it equaled some stellar sewing time for me! On the agenda was the three pairs of sleep shorts for the girls. They had picked out fabric […]

  • Fitness Fri, Sewing & Cupcakes

    This was going on today. I decided to take the afternoon and declare sewing time. The kids were occupied elsewhere in the house and I got Lindsey’s sleep shorts made. And they came out adorable except for one thing…she’s a teen who wears her shorts around her hips instead of her waist. Sigh. She pulled […]
