I am NOT shoveling that white stuff...that is for sure 😉

 Good "happy" day to you both,

Yes, apparently Winter has returned to paradise.

I have just made my special Chai Latte, and lit my special scented candle.  So all is well.

And I ventured to take a picture of my hexigon table topper. Not with standing my lack of skill at proper "staging" ...here it is.  The fabric of the border will also be the fabric for the backing and binding, if and when it ever gets to be finished.

Thank you for the greetings. I have cake and liquid refreshment and left over pizza, to get me through the day.

Love XX ðŸĪŠðŸ˜˜






I have not and not likely to count every hexi I made and hand sewed as some other quilters acknowledge. Only that I shall cherish every moment over the last many, many years that I was able to sit and sew them together. That brings  peace and joy to my life  XX

    It looks wonderful, and you're right about these things--you cherish the experience as well as the pleasure you found in the making. Nobody understands this unless they've experienced it themselves.

    The third picture highlights the "blueberry" fabric we both coveted from Quilt Canada 2004 in Wpg. I sent this to see if you remember Pati?

The energy-sucking garage sale panic is over.

  We both made it through the day without faltering, very much looking forward to a good nap once things were over.  But then were so high couldn't sleep.  Both Loren and Amber were there to help us, with Amber stopping at Tim's for breakfast on her way.   I was up and immediately dressed at 7:00 (Omg!  It even hurts to be able to say that)  Then off in the car to set up 5 signs.  Of course, each stop one has to find a place to park, get out of the car, place the sign, and reverse the process.  That finished, I parked in the mall across the way, pulled my walker out of the car, and trudged off home.  I was so glad to have the walker during the day, mainly because the float was hidden in the small zipper compartment in the walker and I sat on it most of the day.  We moved the patio table and umbrella to the front yard.  Amber and I spent most of the day there, while Loren and Dave spent their time in the garage, until later in t...

Baking

  Yesterday I forgot to mention that I've become concerned about how much money we've been spending on muffins.  So I decided to try baking them on my own.  We got rid of all my baking pans at the garage sale so had to make a trip to Dollarama for a new one.  It's silicone and soft and wiggly, but also dishwasher safe.  I've made some Blueberry muffins that didn't rise very well.  Turned out the baking powder was over a year past it's "best before" date.  Went out and bought more. I've found recipes on-line for Banana Chocolate Chip, Chocolate, and another Blueberry that uses frozen berries rather than thawed--great--as all of mine are Frozen.  I'm also going to look for a recipe for Bran, but not today.

Yes. It is Sunday again

  Time keeps passing. Faster and faster every day. We had freezing rain last night and this morning but it seems to have stopped for now, but that damp chill goes right through me!  Lucky and Ally are both sleeping so is almost like having time to myself. I did walk Lucky this morning but we stayed off the road. We went around the trail cause it wasn’t icy. Less dangerous for both of us. I snuggled down this weekend but I will have to venture out tomorrow.  Hopefully the roads will be clear. They don’t look bad right now so it is promising. I get my flu shot on Wednesday and Ally has a vet appointment on Friday. And I’m going to call for a lawyer appointment tomorrow.  Chloe is going to have her “old people” birthday party on the 18th. Kik and I will go together. And I told Kik I would go to Winnipeg with her on the 14th. I hate the time change. I was awake very early this morning, even though Lucky stayed sleeping until 6:30!  It’s just going to be an extra lon...
