Some of the compliments I have are about the theme and layout, because they think it’s quite complicated and I must be a creative genius… when really it’s a theme that came ready-made and all I did was tweak it!

Yesterday was the five year anniversary of this blog. It started out on May 2, 2004 when I was anxiously awaiting my upcoming trip to Canada. I’d not been home in almost four years so I was long overdue. Now here I am, five years later… looking back on it like it was just yesterday! In the past five years …

Today my mother sent me photos of the tea quilt I made her after she got it home and put it up. It’s kind of exciting for me because this is the first quilt I’ve ever made for someone as a gift that is on display somewhere. She hung it in her dining room, which is the exact spot I …
