A little more organization going on.

Our weather situation.

I love seeing new growth on our cacti!

And flowers are starting on another!

Powerful words.

Have you seen these? I’ve been collecting them for a new baby coming.

Have a great day!

Daughters #2’s eldest dog crossed the rainbow bridge last Saturday. It is a devastating loss for all of us.

Bambi took care of my girl when I couldn’t be there. I took care of her and her sister, Winnie, when Daughter #2 was deployed. She was a sensitive, old soul. She always knew who needed her and loyally sat with anyone in pain. You can read a bit more about her here.

She was one of a kind. Run free, sweet girl.

I’ve been working on a secret sewing project, but here are some blocks I thrifted recently.

They are foundation pieced on muslin. I could just make one more block and the size would work for a quilt club donation quilt. I’m wondering how I could make it more interesting. These are definitely outside my wheelhouse.

Hmmmm….

Have a great day!

More from the show. Enjoy!

I love the Great Lakes! The mister and I spent some time at Lake Michigan on our recent trip.

The rock hounders were out in full force taking advantage of the beautiful day.

And yes, I picked up my fair share! I was on a mission to find Septarian Nodules, also known as Lightening Stones. They are the brown ones with white streaks in the box below. They don’t look like much until you cut them open to see the “lightening “ inside.

We did wake up to this one morning. 😱

Have a great day!

Mr. Wonderful and I just returned from a quick trip to Michigan. We hit up some antique stores while we were there. I saw some fun quilts and thought I’d share them.

Not a quilt, but a way to use scraps? For $65, I was not impressed.

This was cool! I think it would be a fun touch to a family room or home office.

Are any of you old enough to remember these New Years Eve noisemakers? My grandpa owned a tavern when I was little and used to kids would get the leftovers after NYE.

Have a great day!

I am keeping up with my two block per week goal.

Here is all of them so far.

They will eventually be set with alternate plain blocks like this.

Have a great day!

This was shared on one of my rock groups by the maker and used here with permission. It is not my work.

Happy Resurrection Day!

I want to make a quilt to commemorate the 250th birthday of our nation. I came across this panel that I’ve had for a while. It seems fitting!

My grand dog Charlie. He’s smiling because he knows I’ll rub his belly.

I think this every single day about my Willy.

Truth.

My hubby made a fidget toy on one of his 3d printers.

Have a great day!

“And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull), they offered him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but when he tasted it, he would not drink it. And when they had crucified him, they divided his clothes among themselves by casting lots; then they sat down there and kept watch over him. Over his head they put the charge against him, which read, “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.””
