Long time gone.

Hadn’t realized how long it had been since my last post.  There has been a lot going on around here but either it wasn’t blog worthy or was secret Skrappy stuff.  Dug out some of my older cd’s and have been listening to old favorites like Crosby, Stills, Nash, and later to join, Young.  Thus [...]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Not much to post about today since there was no needlework done over the weekend.  Still recovering from nursing a very sick kitty for the past few days.  He scratched his chin until it was bleeding, so we made an appointment with the vet who prescribed an antibiotic and some shampoo.  Long story short, Toby [...]

I stretched the preparation out over 3 days and ended yesterday with rollling and steaming 3½ dozen tamales.  A few hours after dividing the tamales [...]

Raffia, Warm Wishes and Toby

I’ve been working on the jungle house for “A Crazy World” and was having trouble finding a suitable thread/stitch that I liked for the roof.  I had some loosely twisted jute but it fell apart as I tried to stitch it down.  Then I thought I remembered seeing some embroidery raffia, but couldn’t remember where.  [...]

Seasonal silence

It’s the time of year when blogging becomes a little harder and there isn’t much to talk about or show pictures of.  Not that there aren’t projects being worked on, because there are, but the projects are holiday gifts and i don’t want to spoil the surprise.  I’ve been knitting, sewing, stitching, drawing and even [...]
