Not to take anything away from leenova54, but I am feeling a little down today. Six weeks ago I lost my husband and best friend of 24 years from a fast-moving staph infection that started from an infected kidney stone. The house seems so lonely now with
I wanted to show how beautiful it is in Idaho in the spring (at least in my front yard). These are obviously irises (and lilacs) but I thought it was great that they are all blooming at the same time. Thanks for looking. Maureen
Just a thank you for all your prayers and good wishes. I WILL get through this, with a little help from my friends. Maureen
Got diagnosed with strep tonight. With a temp up to 103.8 and all the associated aches and pain, not to mention the sore throat, it's not fun. The doctor said it's going around here in the American northwest, and I'm sure it's all over as well. Com
Not really a question, I just decided it was time to add an avatar. It's a picture of my collie, Mandy. I don't have a decent one of me, so this is the next best thing. Maureen
This is a tote bag I made for my son's friend. It is a fat quarter bag and I added the pocket with her name on it. Yes, I know the pocket is off center, but it was stitched on with a decorative stitch that would have taken a lot of time to remove, so I
This is a mixer cover I made for my sister. She likes roosters and her favorite color is red, so it was a win/win. Hopefully, she will like it. I think it's a little funny, but I like it enough that I'm making another one for a very good friend of mi
Not trying to be a Bible thumper, but I just got home from seeing "God is Not Dead." It is an amazing movie. Maureen
Here is one of the dragons I have embroidered. I can only show one of the 15, since the other files are too large. They are approximately 6x8.
I wanted to wish all a Happy New Year. You have all been supportive of me when I needed it. Personally, I am hoping for a better year in 2014, since not only did I lose my husband, but my brother's wife passed away on Christmas Eve. Needless to say, i
My sister and I are going to a huge quilter's stash (4 rooms!) sale today. 3,000+ bolts of fabric, plus tons of cut squares, etc., and loads of supplies and notions. I can't wait!! Maureen
I was really excited to find that I have a robin's nest in one of my cherry trees. Another sign of renewal in spring. No eggs yet, but I will keep checking. Maureen
I have decided that my New Year's resolution is to try to stop saying I will do something about exercise and just go ahead and do it. To this end, I have decided to take a yoga for seniors class taught by a 70-yr. old! Never having done any yoga before
We got 3" of snow here in Idaho yesterday, our first accumulation of the season. It probably won't last for Christmas, though.
When I let my dog out earlier, she raced from the door to the fence, chasing a new fledgling robin. When I called her, she immediately came back (isn't it nice when they listen?). What was the best part was when the indignant daddy robin chased her alm
