I can’t believe how quickly these little guys stitched up – considering I started them back in 2003! I just did 4 of them, taking about a week each! They are officially done now and I have to decide how to finish them into a quilt and also what on earth to work on next??? …
I’ve been working on the dragons exclusively now that Celtic Banner is done! Love and Trust are now done. Just 1 more to go and it will be quilt time. Peace is the last one to do!
This past week I finally finished up a very large piece called Celtic Banner by Butternut Road. I used a ‘green’ conversion so it’s not in the original browns but was inspired by one we saw finished in this color way in a store that no longer exists. In 2006 my best friend and I …
No house work this weekend because we went to NYC for my xmas gift! Ryan got us a hotel and tickets to see Wicked! We left Saturday morning when Mark and Suzanne came over to watch the girls for the weekend (THANK YOU!). Poor Bella of course ended up with a nasty cold but is …

Wednesday I finished filling nail holes and caulking the installed trim. Then I stripped the last 4 rosettes. …
Well this weekend did not go as planned, that’s for sure. The one thing that did go as planned was getting the plumbing in the kitchen done thanks to Jason. Well mostly done, we still need to hook up the freezer/ice maker and install a pot filler. But the sink and dishwasher are all hooked …
Well unfortunately Christmas week was fraught with sickness. Alex got a nasty cold and passed it along to us. Christmas morning she awoke with a pink/swollen/crusty eye – fun stuff.
