Happy 18th birthday to my son! We are grilling some shrimp skewers and having chocolate pudding delight for his “cake”.
And, I’m happy to report that Zapper showed up for dinner on the patio last night. So he really did come through ok. I don’t know if he would’ve been ok if I had left him [...]

I did start sewing my sawtooth stars together…and the winner was……….drumroll, please…….sew them together as is! You knew [...]

I don’t think my reports are about stash busting any more, but what I’ve done with my stash. I added 5 yards of Kona white cotton back to the stash, since I’m using what I had in my Boston Commons. That is a staple I like to keep on hand. I finished by sawtooth star [...]
