Post Treatment Update, Cabinet Cards for Sale

It’s Monday. After a long weekend of fatigue and nausea, I was able to sit in the studio for a while today. I cleared off my desk and even did some sewing today. I finished up two small journals for Beads-n-More/SunSpirit Studio in Bisbee. Another of my journals sold there this weekend and they’re having [...]

Vintage Linen Quilts

I am so excited to finally share with you a project I have been working on for a while. You see, when my MIL and FIL moved to Phoenix, we helped them to unpack and get settled. While unpacking, many family heirlooms were shared. My MIL’s mother, Sarah, was a sewer and an embroiderer. Among [...]

The constant battle for organization

I’ve been, as I often do, still trying to find the best way to keep my studio organized. I found that I really had a lot of wasted space in the studio and I need to clean some things out that I don’t use any longer, but to get to them, I needed to make [...]

Lovely Weekend

It’s been a LOVELY weekend! Dave and I saw his parents on Saturday. They are preparing for their first trip to Hawaii. They’re going to fly there and then take a cruise around the islands. They’re so excited and they’re also going with friends. It should be fun for them. We love Hawaii, so we [...]

A Rollercoaster Week

It’s been an interesting week. Previously this week I posted about my paintings, and I am so glad that I did. There have been some really low lows and some really high points in the past two days. You might want to grab a cup of coffee or tea for this long entry!
Let me start [...]

Even More Gifts

‘Tis the season, right? Well, I had my treatment on Monday. I was pretty sick during it and the IV had to be reinserted twice, so it was not my favorite day. And, though it took longer for me to get through it, I had the pleasure of Angie’s company for a couple of hours. [...]

New Toys

Yesterday I felt all cooped up in the house. Angie had told me the day before that there was a Jo-Ann’s Fabrics going out of business near her. Since I started making the totes, I needed some larger cuts of fabric and I’ve been going through thread like water! So, I headed over there to [...]

Gifts: Finished Totes

I mentioned in my last post that I was working on some arty totes for the nurses at my husband’s practice who take care of me during my monthly treatments. After seeing them in process, my husband asked if I’d make one for the free clinic nurse manager. (Click on them to see larger images!)
The [...]

More about Gifts

I have been working on gifts for the staff at my infusion center and one of the nurses at the free clinic. I’ve been working on the totes and I’ve completed the collaged quilts that are going to adorn the front of the totes. To the left are two of the three completed quilties. Three [...]

Holiday gifts

Thank you all for your comments about my fun girls’ weekend with Angie. We really did have an awesome time.
Since I’ve been back, I’ve been working hard on some gifts I’m making this year. The first, which is finished, I completed yesterday. It’s a cellphone pouch and a bookmark. Both are quilted and collaged with [...]
