Well, I won"t be able to do any crafting for the next 3 months or so, and it's not warm enough to do gardening yet (it's below freezing today here in western Canada). Why? Well, I had to get my pinky finger joint on my right hand fused yesterday. I
So this isn't entirely embroidery related, just wanted to brag a bit. If you've ever heard of Weird Al Yankovic he's currently on tour and was in our city last weekend. In one of his sets he invites local costumers from the 501st Legion to join him in
Hi ladies! It's been a long time since I've posted anything, so I decided to give you all a chuckle with my latest adventures. So.... How can a simple job like recaulking the bathtub leave you feeling like you've just gone 10 rounds with Evande
Just a note to everyone that although I do not comment on a lot of the beautiful projects and designs everyone is working on, I faithfully look through them when I have time. I wish I had time to give everyone double flowers for all their hard work and c
Here's a picture of the smoke from forest fires 600 km (375 miles) to the north of me. It is so bad that I have to stay in and work on projects (Boo Hoo :-) Now if I only had my embroidery machine back from the 'hospital' it would be even better. H
Arrrghhhh! Suffering withdrawal symptoms . Have made more than 2000 fobs/zipper pulls in the last 4 months and wore my machine out! Poor baby is in the shop and may be gone for up to a month! What am I to do with all this time I have on my hands? Hmmm, ga
Here's a pic of hubby modelling his 'chemo' shirt. I cut open the sleeve of a sweat shirt and attached binding so I could put snaps up the sleeve. This works really well when he goes for treatment as the nurses can just snap open the shirt to expose
My new "plant"! What kind of seeds do you plant to grow kitties? I tried wintering over a diplodenia and grew a Boo instead :-) Boo is growing into a very loving and kneedy kitty. He loves attention, cuddles and pets. He is still gett
Hi Cuties! I'd like to introduce you to the newest member of our family. His name is Boo and he joined his forever home today. He is 9 weeks old and we brought him home from the shelter. Miss Mocha is not too happy, she is sulking downstairs and won
The girls LOVE their new pillows. Rylee could hardly wait to use hers - she lay down right after the picture was taken and had a nap :-) Thanks to all who commented on them earlier - as you can see, they were a big hit.
My 3 newest cousins. These are the 3 little bairns I sewed all the burp cloths for. The 2 on the outside are Kristina and Anna, twin girls born on January 6, and the middle one is their cousin Henry, born January 31. The 3 are going to be very close co
A large diaper bag I made for the newest addition to my cousin's family. Little Henry made his debut on January 31 and his mom used the bag as a duffle to carry his items to and from the hospital. The bag has many zippered and non-zippered pockets insi
More pillowcases for the clinic. Here's the last of this batch of pillowcases destined for the cancer clinic. Hubby starts his treatments Wednesday, so I'll drop off all 25 pillowcases while we're there. I'm going to have to take a wagon to carry t
Well, it was way past time to get my sewing area cleaned up and organized. The first pic is my stash before and the 3rd pic is my stash 1/2 way done. I need more boards, but our dollar is doing so poorly I can't order any more in, so I'm going to see
I decided it was time to get some sewing done before hubby starts his chemo next week. Our cancer clinic gives pillow cases to the new patients, so I've made another batch for them. Hubby snickered and asked if he could pick one of mine and bring it ba
