Molly's Chair

You can see that Molly is right at home in the den. She and I share this comfortable chair. She enjoys it while I'm at work or away, and I get it in the evenings. Yes, I do make her get up if I want to sit down, but the look she gives me is pretty sad. She's lived with us for nearly a year now and we don't know how we got along without her.

Best Card Ever

My sons gave me this wonderful card a while back. I ran across it the other day and took it to be matted and framed. It will hang in my new studio. In case you can't see the words clearly, the card reads:

"I still remember the very first thing you ever taught me . . . what it feels like to be loved."

Thanks, guys.

Studio Progress

The walls and floors are painted and look wonderful. The blue is sapphire and looks great with the tan walls and floors. The room is big enough to hold that color since it's on a windowed wall. I can barely wait to get all my fabric, sewing machine and rest of the inventory in there!

Many thanks to my husband, Steve, for all his hard work. The floor took hours to get it in shape to be painted.

More to come . . .

What I'm Working On

I started this quilt for my nephew who recently graduated from basic training in the US Navy. I had hoped to have it done this past October, but we all know how that goes. All the rows and sashing are done now and I just have to put it together and then quilt it. I will be happy to give this to him.

Blizzard of 2009

We were snowed in on Christmas Day due to a nasty blizzard. Our furnace, which is part of a combo furnace and a/c unit, was covered with snow and wouldn't work.

Thank goodness for the wood stove which had the house nice and warm pretty quickly.

Our son was here from Texas and the blizzard reminded him of how much he dislikes this weather. It's been great having him here and helping with the snow removal.
