Baby Sage

135530853_10158251989967982_4678678121341109527_oHere is sweet Sage Birdsong with Granny Buffy (I think actually Buffy prefers B.B. as her grandma name.)

I finally got Sage's quilt to Lena for quilting. We picked a pretty pink quilting thread and a cute looping quilting pattern. Lena promised to have it finished post haste--at lease before Sage enrolls in college.

I haven't seen the sweet thing in person yet. No one is allowed in her presence except parents and grandparents. Distant great aunts, and even great grandparents, have to wait until the pandemic is over. Ramey hasn't even seen her. She might well be enrolled in college by the time that happens from the looks of things.

I haven't done anymore sewing since my last blog post. Andy gave me a fun doggy jigsaw puzzle for Christmas, and I've been working on that when I'm not lying on the couch or cooking or doing laundry.

The chronic pain has migrated to my hips and legs, making getting around even more of a problem. I've had the leg and hip pain for a long time, but it has been intermittent. Now it's constant, unless I'm lying  down. I'm going to call the pain clinic and see if it's been long enough since the last ablations that I might get another one. Not that they did a heap of good, but at least I'll feel like I'm trying.

What a darling wee baby Sage is and it's clear that BB couldn't be happier or more proud! Well done in getting the quilt to Lena and it's good that binding can be done while sitting down.

Hope the pain clinic can relieve your hip and leg pains as that's surely no fun to endure. Does a heating pad help at all?

I've not gotten much sewing done either because of the other things that must be done: laundry, dishes, cooking for DS2, and such. Our Christmas things are packed up but the boxes are still in the living room. Went to the library and grocery this afternoon, so there's no energy left for now.

Hugs!

Getting There

The new Blackberry Creek is getting close to completion. Thank you, Jed for all your work. I've finally found a minute to get still and learn to post. Doesn't seem too difficult. When all the old posts and photos get transferred, we'll start working on the layout.  Today, I'm going to attempt to scale the stairs and do some work in the sewing room. I'm falling father and farther behind on my schedule to get things ready for the June 2026 quilt show.

Book Talk

To celebrate getting the border sewn on to my millefiori quilt, I decided to read a book--all the way through without stopping to sew anything. And I picked just the right one: Dear Edward by Ann Napolitano. If I had wanted to put it aside to sew, I don’t think I could have. This is the best book I’ve read for at least a year. It’s one of those stories that almost reads itself. You don’t feel like you reading but just enjoying an enthralling story. The pages fly by, and you’ve finished the book way before you’re ready to leave those wonderful but broken characters. The main character, Eddie (Edward) Adler, at the age of 12, survives an airliner crash. The crash claims 191 lives, including his parents and older brother. For the next six years, Edward struggles to carve out a place for himself in a world without his family. The story is heartbreaking and at the same time uplifting.  If you’re looking for a good book to read to usher in Autumn, I recommend this one highly...

Catching Up

This is my new granddog Ozzy. Daughter Andy recently adopted him. He initially showed up at Jesse's girlfriend's house, and after trying unsuccessfully to find his owner, she made him at home. But having one dog, two children, three cats, and a full-time job already, Ozzy (his name was Chip at the time) became too much for her. So Andy took him in. At first she was sure she had made a mistake. Not having ever owned a dog that she was responsible for (we had dogs from time to time when she was a child), she was sure she had bitten off more than she could chew. But things are settled down, and Andy and Ozzy have bonded. They visit me frequently, usually on Saturday to watch the Bama game--or in the case of last Saturday, to watch movies as there was no Bama game. Ozzie is a very good dog and appears to be well cared for. He had not been snipped, but he has been now. And the vet gave him a clean bill of health. As of yesterday, all the blocks, all 120 of them, are finished fo...
