Crochet project


Hi All,

I counted my unfinished quilting projects today and I came up with four. I did finish an afghan I started last year. Here is a photo of it.

I have set a goal to finish these quilts in two months and post photos of my accomplishments.

We do have a grand baby coming in January so I will need to focus on getting these things done.

We are painting the living room this weekend.
We find as we age, this task that was so easy to do just 10 years prior, it is not so easy. Crawling around on the floor and climbing ladders has become more of a challenge.

Take care everyone and Peace Out!

My newest creation.





Hello All,

Here is the newest creation I made for a Chinese raffle we had at our church. I got the idea from a book titled, Fantasies & Flowers (origami in fabric for quilters), by Kumiko Sudo.

Do not be intimidated by the details of any quilt or wall hanging you might attempt. It is your creation and you can change images to your likings. Give it a try sometime it can be very rewarding.

Peace Out!

Rainbows make me smile.


Hi All,

Well, here is my first rainbow for this year. It was taken at work and the photo does not give the rainbow true justice. Although you can't see it, there was a faint image of a second rainbow just to the left.


I love the sky, except for the sunny hot days over 75 because I hate heat and lightning scares the s#@t out of me, but the moon, clouds, and the stars are what I love. Each night after work when I am walking down the drive my eyes are pierced to the sky. Yes, the big dipper is still there. Yes, the little dipper is still there. Then a big sigh, yes, all is well.


Take care and Peace Out!

Growing Up

Hi All,
I grew up in the best times, the 60's and 70's. I could have gotten basically any drug I wanted. Janis, Jimmy, the Doors and rushing home from school to watch Dark Shadows was at the top of my list.
I wish I had been born a few years earlier and old enough to experience Woodstock. I know it was very traumatic for many people. But it was an experience that is unforgotten. Just to see Janis, or Jimmy live and experience all the different bands, god, I hate to admit I am a little envious of those who did.
The moral to the story is I did not do any drugs! Hard to believe huh? Just to see my friends and co-workers stoned to the hilt and non-functional, peeing, and puking was enough for me. Why would you want to do that to yourself?
Now I am not saying I was perfect I do have some drinking stories to tell, but not many.
It would be nice to hear some of those Woodstock stories. If anyone has some please pass them along.
Love and Peace Out!
