I’ve been watching and listening to this show since I was a small child. So has my husband. And we watched it *again* this evening. I don’t think I’ll ever tire of it. I love it so much. The music is incredible. Sigh. A few years or so ago DH and I saw this performed […]
I’ve been looking forward to Marilyn’s releasing this design for eons, but I have to admit to being more than a little disappointed with the outcome. Is it just me? I seem to be more than a little tired of yellow… Celtic Winter
I really thought there’d be more blue and white and silver. Okay, there’s […]

1) Do you live in a place where it snows often? Describe your typical winter and how often it snows/ices/sleets. It never snows here. I live in the wilds […]
It’s just a blob of color, but here it is. The top left corner of the design. I’m stitching it 2 over 2 on 32-count cream linen.

2. Favorite art/drawing craft? I don’t draw or do other related art, but I love looking at it. One of my all time favorite […]

I started it!
Ok, so far I only have one stitch in the fabric, but hey…
Yesterday afternoon I called it quits at about 2:30 (had only been at my desk since 4 a.m., don’t know why I was tired!). I finished up the last little touches on the sachet (still need to sew it, […]
Launched my meme this morning. Hoping it will take off, but won’t be too surprised if it doesn’t. If you want to play, click here.
Except for signing it and sewing it up, the sachet for the exchange is done! I love the color changes that I did. I think they worked out well. Thanks for the help, Mom! I’ll share a photo after the recipient receives it later this month.

It’s in our corner of the neighborhood. So from 8:30 this morning until (hopefully not as late as) 3:00 this afternoon we have no water. Shut off at […]
