Life Is Good

Posted by admin

Hello Everyone!
Thank you for your friendly emails. 
Life is good, family is good, and all is well.
I'm just taking a break from this fun journey.
I'm reevaluating how I'm spending my time for 2012.

As my kids grow older, I find my time with them extremely valuable.
They are all growing up way too fast!

My Etsy shop is currently closed. 
I will keep you posted.

I love the creativity and inspiration that is all around us on the web.
I love your comments, your support and cherish the friendships I've made. 
This may be a temporary thing, I'm not sure.
 I just want to let you know why there has
been a lack of posts for the last several weeks.
I love my followers and appreciate you all so much!

Thank you for your understanding!

15 Reasons for Buying Fabric

Posted by admin


  1. It insulates the closet where it is kept.
  2. It helps keep the economy going.  
  3. It is our patriotic duty to support cotton farmers, textile mills and quilt shops.
  4. It is less expensive and more FUN than psychiatric care.
  5. Because it's ON SALE.
  6. I'm participating in a contest...the one who dies with the most fabric wins.
  7. It keeps without refrigeration, you don't have to cook it to enjoy it, you never have to feed it, change it, wipe its nose, or walk it.
  8. I need extra weight in the trunk of my car for traction on snowy icy roads.  This is important, even in Florida,  Southern California and ARIZONA...you never know when the weather will change.
  9. Because I'm worth it.
  10. Like dust, it's good for protecting previously empty spaces in the house, like the ironing board, the laundry hamper and the dining room table.
  11. When the Big Earthquake comes, all the quilt shops might be swallowed into the ground and never be seen again.
  12. Stress from dealing with the Fabric Control Officer (my husband) made me do it.
  13. It's not immoral or fattening.  It calms the nerves, gratifies the soul, and makes me feel good.
  14. Buy it now, before your husband retires and goes with you on all your shopping expeditions.
  15. A yard a day is all the quilt shops of America ask.
        Happy Fabric Shopping my friends!  Enjoy!

All You Need Is Love

Posted by admin

It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80′s arrived at the hospital to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am. The nurse took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would be able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound. While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor’s appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer’s Disease. As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now. I was surprised, and asked him, ‘And you still go every morning, even though she doesn’t know who you are?’ He smiled as he patted my hand and said, ‘She doesn’t know me, but I still know who she is.’
