Day 2 of the cruise we were at sea. It was hard to see the stars because of the moon, some clouds and the lights of the ship! But it was very beautiful and quiet, just the sounds of the waves and the wind. So what is there to do on board? First there are the shows!… Continue reading Cruising the Caribbean Day 2 – At Sea!

Mending An Old Friend
I'm getting things together for an upcoming cruise and Dad or Mary sent an email talking about having a bag or back pack with you when you go to shore or on the boat, something you can carry a few items in. So I set off looking for an old friend, a rucksack that I… Continue reading Mending An Old Friend
Using up the 3 Inch Squares for the Border!
Happy Saturday Everyone! I spent some minutes this morning cutting up the leftovers into the remaining 3" squares I'm going to need for the border on the Churn Dash quilt.

Border Debate Begins

Some Sashing Adjustments
I'm on the last rows of the sashing when I realized I had too many Dachshund's! Look!

Epic. That's what this winter has been, simply Epic. Last night was another 7 inches for us. Yesterday Jim and I drove up to Camping World to look at some solar items and to browse the gadgets for the trailer. We are so waiting for that first Spring thaw to get that trailer out! … Continue reading More Snow, Just Epic!
Working on the Sashing
There's still lots of snow on the ground here, even though the temperatures got above freezing for a few days. I don't know if it was the change in weather, walking the dog without a hat, a co-worker getting sick or my husband getting sick but I ended up flat out in bed for a… Continue reading Working on the Sashing
