Woven & stitched with love

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…

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Against my Grain

It’s hard to say no to a reasonable request. When my daughter asked I could make them masks, I couldn’t in all conscience, say no. I have the supplies, machine, time and skills so it seems logical for me to do this for those I love. Don’t get my wrong, I still think it’s not our best line of defense but with numerous stores and services requiring that patrons wear one it seems like I will have to get off my high horse and sew.

Wacky Wednesday (w)again

Perhaps, in light of the current world wide pandemic, Wednesdays should be for wacky.
