Guess I Better Say Something

Former sewing room - 1Former Sewing Room

Future sewing room - 1Future Sewing Room

As you can see, I'm still in quite a mess. Almost everything from the former sewing room is now in the future sewing room. But being totally organized and ready to work is still a bit in the future.

And I'm about to panic. I have lots of sewing to get ready for my guild's June quilt show. I am hoping and praying that I'll be ready to rev up the Bernina by the end of this month.

Then Jesse will have to get started making the former sewing room into his man cave. I don't plan to be much involved in that.

It's very cold here, but I guess we're fortunate to not be having the snow, ice, and storms that other areas of the country are experiencing. Personally, I wouldn't mind a little more snow before the winter is over. We had one beautiful snowfall a couple of weeks ago. It was maybe an inch and was totally gone in a couple of days. Didn't cause any power or travel problems. I'd like another one like that.

I'm sorry I've been so incommunicado lately. This moving and cleaning out exercise just takes all my energy and focus. Along with a little cooking, a little laundry, a little grocery shopping, and a goodly amount of animal care, I have nothing much left to devote to fun stuff. When I've got all this stuff straightened out, I plan to set myself up some kind of schedule so that I can keep regular blog posts and get a whole lot of sewing done.

Happy New Year, everyone. I'm glad I managed to say that before January is gone.

Isn't it draining to have the house or part of the house in disarray because of making a change? Same here although my mess is due to trying to label a bazillion family photos, some of which are very old. I hesitate to put them all in a suitcase without names and dates (if possible). Where is Samantha and her nose wiggle when you need her?

Perhaps you can arrange for the women in the family to come for food and lifting help to get your sewing room furniture where you want them so you can fill them with fabric and whatever else as energy allows. At least your sewing machine would be ready for use.

Hugs!

I'm so glad to hear from you. It's a long process to change rooms and reorganize. Don't overdue,the world is round you'll get there.

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...
