A piece of shoe lace…?

Posted on Jan 13, 2023Jan 13, 2023 by Bernie

What does a piece of shoe lace have in common with some leftover fabric? Funny you should ask😉. As random as it seems, there is a connection, and I can tell you what it is.

A change of topic

Posted on Oct 26, 2022Oct 26, 2022 by Bernie

And now for a complete change of topic because that’s what is needed.

Woven & stitched with love

Posted on Sep 2, 2022Sep 2, 2022 by Bernie

It’s a story decades in the making and deserves to be recorded. I’ve been “commisioned” to create the ending of it. A label is simply not enough in this case.

3 months ago…

Posted on Aug 21, 2022Nov 19, 2022 by Bernie

3 months ago today seemed like it would be “the right day”. 3 months ago today seemed to be a long distance off. 3 months ago it all seemed like a good idea.  And now….

Maple Syrup Trail

Posted on Aug 1, 2022Aug 1, 2022 by Bernie

It’s always the quandary. Wait for that perfect photo or just accept what I have? In the end the wall paper made my decision. Which seems weird but that is how it rolled. Or perhaps I should say that’s how it unrolled.

Beneath the seams

Posted on Dec 24, 2021Dec 24, 2021 by Bernie

She walked into the store confidently. She knew exactly what she wanted and how to turn that into the vision in her head. She, of absolute faith.

Re Made with Love, Yet Again

Posted on Sep 29, 2021Sep 29, 2021 by Bernie

It seems that my re-made-with-love repairs didn’t stand the test of time. So 5 years later I set out once again on the path of quilt restoration.

Making today count

Posted on Mar 20, 2021Mar 21, 2021 by Bernie

Today marks several occasions on the calendar. The usual one to be noted is that it’s the first official day of spring although technically that arrived yesterday when the water started flowing. It even flowed over some boots! Ah but such fun was had by all of us.

Whimsical Win

Posted on Feb 9, 2021 by Bernie

The phone rang shortly before lunch, an odd enough occurence for sure. The caller though someone I often speak with. She calls me her second mom as I helped guide her through some formative times. Now a dozen years later we still keep in touch regularly. The call promoted a string of events.

No elephants here

Posted on Nov 24, 2020Nov 24, 2020 by Bernie

I’ve decided to lighten it up today with a post about something meaningful to me. AND no writing about the elephant in the world as that’s all that was talked about in my work day. So without further ado here is a little something I’ve created called “My Nanna’s Garden.
