Good morning, or afternoon, or maybe even evening... 36 quilts is done. I am now 42 and life is quite different. I'll be spending time this week updating my blog and the new adventure will start. I am currently working on Tula Pink's 100 Modern Blocks. I am making 6... Continue reading

There are 2 sides to a book, the front cover and the back cover, but what's important is the pages those covers protect. The story. I hope everyone has a safe and very blessed Christmas. T-Dogs Continue reading

Figuring out 1...

I've spend a few days now thinking and wondering why I'm always figuring out numbers to equal 1. This is why... . His entire world changed in 1 second. For 7 years he was unable to move, eat, talk... His life changed in 1 second. 1 second. Everything starts with... Continue reading

2 sides to a coin, 3 sides to a story...

x+y=z... Only 3 numbers from 2-9 can divide themselves in half and = 1. You're life can change in one second. Everything, every life begins at 1 and ends at 1. Maybe, just maybe, that why I was born on 1-1. I know now why I'm a quilter... I calculate.... Continue reading

Perhaps, just perhaps, I can really make pigs fly...

Am I back? Am I still the same person? With the right music, the right books, the right friends - and with the amazing love of my family... I'm back. Well hello... "I will not be commanded. I will be controlled and I will not let my future go on... Continue reading

Learning to sew...

I'm learning to sew... 1) With shoes on. 2) In clothes other then my pajamas. 3) With no need of a pedal. 4) With no need of a pedal only if the pedal is unplugged. 5) With using the pedal on the table and using my hand instead of my... Continue reading

You can't unopen a box. You can't undo what has been done. So what's next? We have thumbs so we need to figure it out. I'd say 80% of the people in my life don't know Jesus. And out of that 80% 79.9% think I'm crazy for believing in a... Continue reading

Today... pigs will fly!

The last time I wrote, I wrote about how amazing new sewing machines are... Thread, push a button and your needle is threaded, push another button for your foot to be down and push the go button. Wait, wait, watch, wait... ding - change thread and repeat. You can do... Continue reading

I often write of disclaimers. There is always a disclaimer. Most times we choose not to read it. Always read the small print. This I do know without a disclaimer. There is old and there is new. Reminds me of the song, "Make new friends, but keep the old, some... Continue reading

Here we go again...

After a year of doing a few free lance jobs, lots of books, lots of Netflix, lots of time with my babies I decided to take another chance at working a full time job. I guess the craziest part of doing that is I've taken a job working with sewing... Continue reading

Sleep? What is sleep?!

Who sleeps anymore? What does one do at 2:47 am with no sleep, one sews. What are you doing this morning? "In God's economy, a person must go down the valley of grief before he or she can scale the heights of spiritual glory. One must become tired and weary... Continue reading

I didn't realize that people actually read my blog. I have been humbled this last year, I lost my JayJay... Maybe I can return with funny stories about life, not today. As always, and forever, Cheers. Continue reading

Yes, I believe...

I don't believe because someone told me to. I don't believe out of fear. I don't believe because it is what I'm suppose to do. I have questions and I've finally accepted that in my lifetime there will be no answers. But yes, (I did just start a sentence with... Continue reading

I was 7 years old when my Grandfather got sick. I'm sure he wasn't a perfect dad or even close to a perfect person, but he was to me. I'd wake up just to get to ride in the tractor with him. It never got old. It was always hot,... Continue reading

The Story of the Little Boy Quilt...

I often write about my Grandma. I think about her every day. She made me a quilt from my old clothes. I'm not quite sure why she continued to make these "little girl quilts", but she did. Then she started to make "little boy quilts." She made them for her... Continue reading

When I grow up...

I finally decided what I want to do when I grow up. I want to be a writer. Just one small problem, how does one become a writer? I can barely take criticism anymore. I'm a terrible speller. Grammar, well that is a whole other Oprah. This I do know.... Continue reading

Happy Birthday Grandma!

Today is my Grandma's birthday, or would be if she was alive. 100 years old. Her life, to me, was a legacy. I'm not sure if talent or passion skips one generation to the next, or if it skips at all. I take perfectly good pieces of fabric, cut them... Continue reading

then, in turn, was a dog...

I remember when Ryan and I went down to the animal shelter. We went down there to seek out a replacement for Anaheim. His 15th birthday was yesterday. 1st mistake... replacement. No such thing. We sought after a puppy, truth be told, the only thing I remember is that it... Continue reading

It's already Sunday!

Here in Colorado, we are sitting on a foot of snow. We need the moisture - you will always hear that from those of us that live in this crazy state. This was a heavy, wet snow - yeah, I know, snow is water and water is heavy. I walk... Continue reading
