    T Tuesday: Too cold for school edition

    January 7, 2014 - By 

    For the second day in a row, my kids have the day off due too dangerously cold temps. They are thrilled. Me…not so much. I am thankful I don’t have to worry about them getting frostbite while standing at the bus stop but keeping them from fighting and away from screens is a challenge when I can’t just throw them outside. 🙂

    breakfast tea

    I made myself a sandwich for breakfast today alongside my red rooibos tea. I tend to have non-traditional breakfasts. I need to have protein in the morning otherwise I can feel my blood sugar get all wonky.

    sew what

    Since hanging out in my basement art space isn’t an option, I’ve been back at the sewing machine.  I just love patchwork!

    Next I’m going to check out the T Stands for Tuesday link list on Elizabeth’s blog.

    What are you doing today?

    T Tuesday: irons in the fire edition

     Welcome to another edition of T stands for Tuesday hosted by Elizabeth. Grab a cup, mug or glass…sit down and stay a while.activate c

    I’ve finished my coffee and am ready to defend myself from the virus that currently has it’s hooks in Mr. G. Poor guy is wracked with chills under a pile of covers. I can’t even fathom how he can move under them…they are so heavy.

    Me…well, I’m still crafting like crazy.

    I’m feeling the deep need to make some art. The only problem is now I’ll have to dig my way to my art supplies. I piled tons of stuff on my workspace. ACK! I hate it when I do that…yet I still do it. Apparently I’m a slow learner.

    What a re you doing today?

    I’m still here…

    November 10, 2013 - By 

    Just had to get that out there.  I haven’t been around to visit hardly any of my regular haunts online. I was gone quite a bit this week though so we’ll go with that. 🙂point of viewWhen I’m home, this seems to be my point of view. Not that I’m complaining. I’ve got orders for many of my sewn items which is fantastic!

    Late last evening I got a phone call from a friend asking if I’d be a part of a boutique style show right after Thanksgiving. Oh yeah…I’m in! production line

    Today I’m really stepping up my production line. I hate to call it that since each item is one of a kind but I do work on several at the same time…production line style. Mr. G likes to tease me when I’m ironing seams…since I almost never iron our clothing. scraps

    I feel like I’m honestly making a good dent in my fabric stash. I’m sure “Grandma” Livingston would be happy to know her fabrics are continuing to be put to good even 30 years later.  I love mixing the old with the new for completely unique patchwork.
