That’s me….maybe not the working out part….
We’ve gotten some rain here! That means the odd blossom here and there.
Such a lovely sight from our back yard.
My most recent puzzle finish.
It’s a struggle sometimes…
Before I go, this movie just came out Friday. It was powerful! I highly recommend it.
Have a great day!
It’s cooling down in Arizona. I’ve had trouble with my knee, so I haven’t gotten out hiking like I’d like to. Earlier this week, we finally got out a bit and did a little bit of rock hounding.
The views here are breathtaking.
We hiked up this wash.
I love these rocks that have pockets of crystals.
A big part of finding cool rocks, is training your eye. I’m out of practice. None of those below are “pretty.” I picked them up because I wanted to learn about them.
I do love this tiny agate.
It is no more than an inch wide.
Mr. Wonderful found this one. The white bits in the center are called chalcedony.
This was my best find for the day.
Those bubbly bits are called botroidal formations.
I can’t wait to get back out there again! Have a great day!

No finishes this week. However, my checkerboard blocks are coming along.
Strangely, my bin of squares doesn’t seem in the least reduced!
Have a great day!
I found some more little HSTs. These are all 30s repro fabrics.
I also found some vintage green triangles that matched, so I stitched them up.
Maybe this needs a bit of pink?
I’ve been doing g a bit of secret sewing and I just needed a bit of a break for some play.
Have a great day!
I have little bins all over the sewing room.
I opened it up to find a bunch of half square triangles.
180 to be exact!
Hmmm… what shall I make with these?
Have a great day!
I made another block and it looked good. The next morning, I looked again. Nope, nope, nope.
That’s better.
There will be days like this. I am just glad I noticed now.
Have a great day!
I decided to set that shirtings/wedge quilt aside for now. In the mean time, I got an idea for these.
It started with strips!
This is where I’m going here.
I love the woven look. This is based on a design from Moda BakeShop.
Yep, I like it already.
Have a great day!
I’m still playing around here. I decided to try a consistent background.
I wanted to try more colors and I’m moving toward all solids.
These are cut, but I need to find one more play time.
Have a great day!
I saw this lovely quilt at Goodwill last week. Such beautiful piecing. It broke my heart to see it there for only $12.49. I didn’t bring it home, I already have too many of my own.
It does make me think about what will happen to all of mine someday. I give many away, but still…. I think I may try to put together a post about places to donate quilts. But I’ll need your help. If you have any info, please share in the comments!
This made me laugh!
I told the dogs to get in their crates the other day and this happened. Not exactly what I meant! 😂
A really good word. I’m hanging on to this.
Have a great day!
