Not much to show this week, except Anja started Martial arts and she’s testing for some “stripes” I think for her belt, she’s in the lower group with a friend and they “stripe- up” after 4 classes, it’s not until they are older that they actually TEST for belts. I don’t think she really cares, …
Another busy week with not much sewing! Solveig got a new BED (though it’s smaller) as sort of a graduation gift  We don’t have much left for homeschooling so books and projects are getting finished up, here’s one of my favorite things for American History 2 (we also did #1 last year)- though Sonja …
Memorial Day is to remember those who served in our military to protect our liberties and gave the ultimate sacrifice! Thank you!! I know for many it means having a BBQ and maybe shop some sales. It’s such an odd thing to do, isn’t it, to celebrate someone’s death? I don’t know anyone who …
Lots to tell in this post! Since I do my “project” posts on Saturday, I didn’t get to show what I got for Mother’s day- a nice bouquet of Pink Lilies (and they look much better this week, more have opened up!) a pack of chocolates and a handmade Yoshi figure from Sonja- the kids …
It’s graduation week!

I got a new shipment of fabrics from MMF this week, can’t wait to take pictures and cut into these, they might be the winter fabric bundles, I already have the “fall” fabrics here. I’ve been busy making eyeglass cases for the Emporium too. And this week …
Since we finished the last farm sampler QAL, I don’t have my “Monday posts” and I’m sort of itching for another QAL! Are you?? What kind of QAL would you like? One of my current sampler patterns? We could do the 50 states one I could even offer a KIT another one we did a …
Last weekend we went to a community event called Clyde Fest, it’s about a local artist who makes these wooden critters with maybe bottle cap eyes or whatever recycled stuff, every year they throw him this “party” and usually it’s been muddy and hard to park, but now we have an agriculture center so it …
I have been hand sewing more EPP flowers, no real plan with them yet but it’s nice to sit outside and do some hand sewing. I’ve also done some REGULAR sewing this week, because we planned on going strawberry picking with friends from church, Anja and Sonja really wanted some skirts, first Anja picked out …
Remember I mentioned a lady at our church who wanted me to add a name to an antique quilt? Then she asked me to put together a quilt out of squares already cut and she sent me a picture and everything was already there, so I said SURE… So she brought a box with everything …
