February 2022 OMG Update

Posted on February 26, 2022 | 15 comments

I did not make my February OMG goal.

Instead, Hubby and I drove across the state to visit our son and his fam.

I did get some sewing accomplished before making this unexpected trip, but I have no photos of it.

We had a gorgeous day for traveling!

As we were crossing Snoqualmie Pass, I snapped a few quick photos with my camera phone.

* Clicking on a photo will give you a closer look!

Hubby is driving back home to deal with some plumbing issues (lucky him) and I am staying here (I think I am luckier).

So no project progress photos for awhile, and that is okay.

Enjoy your families!

Stay healthy!

Stay safe!

A Small Dragon

“No, I would not want to live in a world without dragons, as I would not want to live in a world without magic, for that is a world without mystery, and that is a world without faith.”
― R.A. Salvatore, Streams of Silver

A friend cherishes a bit of needlework that her mother had stitched. It was out of shape and rolled up and no one could enjoy it.

I told her that I would do something with it.

I washed the piece, and tried to block it back to shape the best that I could.

And then I made it into a little cushion cover. The orange stripe on the back conceals a zipper.

Now everyone who visits my friend can enjoy her Mother’s handiwork and have a smile when they visit her and see the little cushion on display.

Stay healthy.

Stay safe.

Keep smiling.

This and That

Posted on February 21, 2022 | 18 comments

I still have my head into the genealogy.

I have discovered a couple more US Confederate soldiers.

And there is the ancestor who committed an especially vicious murder and was lynched for it.

Then there is the ancestor who was murdered with a gunshot wound directly to his heart…shot by his father.

It is almost like reading a riveting mystery novel for me, and I can’t tear myself away.

However, my Mom has requested a couple of small pillowcases, only about 12 inches by 19 inches, so I did have to come up for air.

The second pillowcase she wanted to match a quilt that I made and gifted to her in 2017. Thank goodness, I still have fabric left from making Aunt Sukey Spins Off!
