This week in Review

Last night was week 3 of the rag quilt class – what a fun class! and all the ladies are doing so well.  Two of them already finished their quilts and there is still one week left!  They still have to clip all the seams, but the sewing is done.  Sure makes me want to [...]

A Summary

Was this past weekend the nicest weather or what?  We took the dogs to the bush for a walk…it was enough to have a light jacket on, no mittens or anything.  Plus since it has been cooler there was no bugs…just about perfect.
Remember I told you last week I was going to be teaching a [...]

WhooHoo another Thursday!

So, do you have this funny white stuff falling from the sky where you are?  Big huge fluffy flakes are floating slowely from the sky…the first snow is always sort of pretty…by the 400th snow fall its not as pretty anymore…

To top off the pretty factor when I stepped out to take this picture there [...]

And Then There Was 7…

For the past 2 days I’ve kept the chickens inside…boy they sure aren’t happy with me. I keep telling them its for their own safety, but that doesn’t get me anywhere. Lady #8 got attacked by something earlier this week, without going into details we kind of suspect a large bird of some sort…our chicken [...]

A Day of Learning…

Well this is interesting…I’m typing, but I can’t actually see what I am typing. I presume it is a glitch in the blogging program as I can see everything else, just not the “body” of my message…I can still even see the squiggly red lines when I’ve made a spelling error…thankful for that
I [...]

Scarecrows, eggs and the other thing

This past weekend was the 4th annual scarecrow festival in Clinton, On.  What a neat event. There are 4 different areas in the town where there is activities and such.  Of course the best part is the scarecrow contest…there was some pretty neat ones made…one even had a fish bowl head!  My overall favorite was [...]

Apple Saucing…yum…

We have a number of apple trees on the property that grow really great apples.  Since we didn’t have much of a harvest last year we decided to take advantage of the abundant amount of apples this year and make apple sauce. Yum.  We have the niftiest little machine to do this…The Saucer
Then [...]

Unlaborous Labor Day

What a great long weekend, even if I did work Saturday so it was a short long weekend.
They call it Labour Day, but I really did very little labouring.  Just the bare minimums.  I did some relaxing on the beach in the sun, enjoyed reading a book and did some sewing.
The book was the newest [...]

Thats Some Fire

I just got word that there is a huge fire over in Markdale at the Chapman’s Ice Cream plant…smoked ice cream, anyone?
I do hope no one was hurt, so far the new releases are pretty vague about what happened.
The fire must be pretty huge as I can see if from the back porch and we [...]

Two New Patterns

After a lot of hard work, and some great testers, there are two new patterns ready for release.
One, Bird of Paradise, is a pieced pinwheel with a unique twist.  The picture is from one of the pattern testers, Joany.  Great work Joany, it looks fantastic!
I love the purples and yellows in this one made by [...]
