When last we talked, the world was a way different place. I had hoped 2020 would be a kinder gentler year for all of us. How are you all doing?
Strangely – for this introvert, it’s still is a less stressful year but that’s because my fur kids are such a huge part of my life and 2019 was pretty stressful that way. 2020 started with new furry companions in the house. Continue reading Well, That happened! – 2020 Jan – May (and Shop) Update
Well, I put this post off for a little longer than I should have – but I had what I think is were understandable reasons mixed with a little procrastination.
In mid-December of 2018, Stormi began spending almost all of her time in the bedroom which meant more time for me in the bedroom taking care of her. That put some projects and some of my usual stress relievers on hold because I wouldn’t leave her alone for more than a few hours at a time . Continue reading 2019 Year End Wrap up, part 2 – everything else
This highlights reel / wrap up is a little later than I planned. It’s also far longer than I’d planned – so I’m breaking it up into parts 1 and 2. Today’s will cover the Sewing Machine related stuff and tomorrow’s will be the rest of the year in review.
In January, I moved all free help to the AA Vintage Sewing Machines Study Facebook group. I did this because so many people would ask for help but leave incorrect contact information, or I’d respond and never hear back at all. This way, a group of us can draw on our collective experiences and help Continue reading 2019 Year End Wrap up – part 1: sewing machines
I just realized it’s been nearly 6 months since I updated the blog.
I apologize for that everyone! It’s been a really up and down several months. I thought I’d update you on some of the larger points. Continue reading Sand slipping through my hands – A 5 month update
This past week, I had more time than I think I’ve ever had to sew. I’ve been babying my lower back this week, because the last time I thought it was “good enough” (last Friday), I set my recovery back a week, at least. So with time at the computer limited, and no lifting sewing machines, I decided it was time to finish a number of UFOs. This seemed a good opportunity to put the wonder clips through their paces.
Most of my UFOs are not quilting projects.
So on to the performance of the Wonder clips. Continue reading Review: Clover Wonder Clips
It occurs to me that I forgot to update you readers on how Stormi’s been doing. Back in November, I posted about some problems she had, and a new diagnosis of CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease), and a change of vets.
She’s doing Really Really well. 🙂 Continue reading Hello Kitty! Update on the queen
I know that I mentioned in a previous post that I was planning some time to post, but life got in the way. Last weekend, we were watching a movie on the couch, when I noticed one of our kitties squatting in the corner. Uh oh. I picked her up and dropped her into her litter box, but she came out and squatted again.
