Sometimes when my depression is bothersome, I retreat into my phone. Not a good idea if I open a game, which is why to do that I have to download one. Pinning is not quite the same as playing a game: in the end, there’s a board of ideas. So I’ve added ideas to a […]

What do you think constitutes a “summer quilt”? I like light-weight quilts because we have really hot summers, but colors and design are just as important. Some things just scream summer. We do use quilts in the summer: picnics, decor, and movie binges are just a few reasons.

Pastels always remind me of spring. I suppose it’s the colors of flowers opening (think tulips), Easter eggs, Sunday dresses, and so on. I love brights and especially jewels, but pastels also have a place in my heart. Honestly, it’s probably all colors. I remember when lime green was just the ugliest of colors, but
