Where Improv Meets Intention

Brain fog. No sewing. No housework. Instead, I sleep, nibble when possible, pour fluids into my system, and nap. Today I opened

I have been working on videos for my YouTube channel, and it’s been a rather slow process. I’m a perfectionist who procrastinates. Then I reshoot and reshoot and make the same silly mistakes or forget something. I know there’s a better, easier way, but heck if I can figure it out. I guess it takes

Town Houses Well, the town’s houses are complete. Most of the trees are grown. Heck, I even a few streets are in place. But, for some reason, I have not had a desire to work on it. We had a CQG meeting a couple of weeks ago, and I don’t know, I haven’t even unpacked

I attended the Gulf States Quilt Association (GSQA) meeting in Long Beach, MS., so I’ll show you the few pics I took there. After all, a couple of weekend ago, I posted photos of the CQG Show and Share. I always enjoy visiting with the many acquaintances I’ve made over the years. Some of them,

Our wonderful country life has quieted down–but just enough to sit still without feeling guilty and sitting we have been enjoying!
