Just another detour in my life. My mother had a stroke this past week and is in the hospital. She was transferred to in patient rehab today. The quilt retreat just became even a bigger question to whether I will be able to go—time wise and afford it. My sewing machine is still at my…

WIP Wednesday–Upcoming Retreat
I have a retreat coming up in February. I hope to be able to go. As my husband said just yesterday—that is where I get the most done. In the meantime, I’ve taken even more to my mom’s apartment. If I do get to go to the retreat all I have to do is take…
WIP Wednesday–Sewing at Mom’s
Not finding time since before Christmas to use my sewing machine, I have taken my machine and some projects to work on to my mom’s. It’s been fun to sit and sew while I am spending time with her. Update on my daughter–after almost 5 weeks in the hospital, she is home until the 27th….
WIP Wednesday–Out the Window
What’s out the window? My schedule! LOL I have quickly figured out that there are just other items that need to be worked on. I ended up realizing late last Wednesday that I didn’t put up a post. I guess Thanksgiving prep took over. Here is my last to-do list, which now will change. Listen…
WIP Wednesday–A Mess

WIP Wednesday–Retreat Report
Now, I didn’t even think to take pictures at the retreat. Shame on me! I feel like I did well. I worked on making items for my booth. I finished 8 covered notebooks, 5 doll blankets, and 4 pocket tissue covers. I also cut 5 inch squares from Valentines fabric and lined them to sew…
WIP Wednesday–New Project
Yes, I’ve done it again, I’ve found something new to make. A kind woman at church gave me the bag of yarn to make prayer shawls, as I mentioned in last week’s post. But, she also gave a bag for me. I knew she put in cotton yarn for the washcloths I crochet. I didn’t…
