I finished 8 more Poinsettia Star blocks this morning. That brings the Poinsettia Star block totals to 17. Just 31 more of these blocks to go. I miss counted on the last entry. I actually had completed one more block than expected. About block 12 I had a short scare. I realized that I could… Continue reading Carolina Christmas Mystery Quilt – 8 more to the pile

Haiti…let us help and do what we can.
This isn't going un-noticed. I want to write a post real quick about the situation in Haiti and hope you all will be generous in your philanthropy to organizations that can and will use your funds to help this poor nation and these people. I feel too as though I am in limbo as one… Continue reading Haiti…let us help and do what we can.
Let sleeping dogs lie?
This is how it goes around here. MTD (Mike The Dog) loves his bed but can't figure out how to get his back legs in underneath him so he often will just crash. Normally, he should be going the other way, the longer lenghthwise way. A little bit more comfortable then having your head banged… Continue reading Let sleeping dogs lie?

I… Continue reading Did you think I could stay away? Nahhhhh….
Carolina Christmas Mystery Quilt – 1/2 Way Baby!
I guess it helps to take a personal snow day. The snow was falling down crazy yesterday morning when I woke up to get ready for work and I just didn't want to tackle another 4-5 hours in the car as I did on Thursday. I just passed my 10 year anniversary at work and… Continue reading Carolina Christmas Mystery Quilt – 1/2 Way Baby!
Carolina Christmas Mystery Quilt – still sewing!
I'm still sewing! I figured out on the calendar, based on how quickly I was sewing, just how long it is going to take to complete the top on this mystery quilt. Like my drawings? I'm giving myself some generous time here but according to plan I should be working on this topper until January… Continue reading Carolina Christmas Mystery Quilt – still sewing!

This morning I finished all the Red/Neutral HST's sewn to a neutral 2.5" neutral square for the Fox and Geese blocks. I also finished all of the Green Half triangle blocks for the other half of the Fox and Geese blocks. I seriously must not have my machine at the proper height or I must… Continue reading Carolina Christmas Mystery Quilt – Progress Report
Goals for a new year
Do you set goals and try to achieve them? I think there's been some studies on the behavior of goal setters and only something like 5% of all people actually practice it. I'm an exister. Is that a word? Definition of exister is just someone that takes one day at a time, living in the… Continue reading Goals for a new year
