Still housebound in April!!

Hello Everyone

Are you getting used to staying home and doing things to keep yourself busy? I don't mind most of the time. I have plenty of projects to keep me busy.

Here are a few pictures of our backyard that has been getting some needed attention. The first two pictures are of a tree and a bush that I used for making dye to use on some fabric.





The middle pictures show a little of the tree and our Little House for my Dutch kids to stay in when they are here.  Of course the first picture has our Privy! We brought it home when we had The Quilting B and they were demolishing the property next to us. A rare find!!!

***************************

I have been having some nice success with my Etsy shop during this time

I am going to add Perle cotton by Valdani and I would like to order any colors you might like. I will mail them to you when they arrive. I'd like to order by this coming Friday so email me your list and address. You can order anything that is listed on the Valdani.com website. I need color name and the letter and number and what size thread you would like. Each ball is $7.50 no extra charge for shipping.

....and then it snowed!

It was a good thing that my open studio was scheduled for the day it was because I just barely escaped the snow! It was a fun day and many friends stopped by to see where I love to sew. A friend who I hadn't seen in years, Joy, came and I was so happy to see her again. When I owned The Quilting B, the best thing about being there was all the new friends I made. I probably would never met many of you if it hadn't been for those years! Thanks! Here are a few of the pictures from that day. Ellen came with her project and it is beautiful! My neighbor, Monica is helping me have a great time! Along with the stitching, it is a time to make more friends and to know each other a little better. Our dog, Oscar, loves to be with people. Jean and Julie are keeping on task! And then it snowed!!!! Yard art! But the dogs are happy inside. When Oscar walked outside when it was icy, he would walk along the top and the...

I guess if I'm going to get anything else written before 2013, I'd better get at it. Earlier this month Loren and I went to downtown Portland and watched the Tuba Christmas. It was held at Pioneer Courthouse Square and was beautiful. Listening to that many tubas outside was wonderful. It was a little misty and a bit cold but all crowded together, it wasn't bad. I love the old courthouse. Tried to get the flag billowing out, almost. It is such a beautiful old building. We don't have many buildings like this, we tear them down and make something new. nice tree...great back view of someones head! After watching for a while we went to.... Besides the greatest smelling cigars, they sell their wonderful cigar boxes. I was looking for a perfect one to give my daughter with a scarf that I knitted for her. Of course, I found one and sorry I didn't take a picture of it. It is black and just perfect for her. Score!  A little l...
