Oh, Happy Day

 Oh, Happy Day

Our Aoife playing with her wonderful used $10 dollhouse....Don't have to be rich to enjoy.
Below, the $25 used playhouse in my girl's back yard.  Of course, it did come full of wasps..but a little elbow grease and a lot of love  made it perfect!!
All found in Portland Market Place by my daughter.
More  fun tonight with Wanda's  scraps...Making you know what!!!
Love in process......
On Amazon I found these little spray bottles for my starch water.  I can take these in my travel kit for Sit and Sews...Four in a package....gave two to my sister.  In my old age, carrying things is a challenge.
Below is lazy.  I do not measure....lazy, I said.  My sister came over today to help me with the backing to my grunge hour glass quilt.  I was too cheap to spend an extra $5 to get enough backing...sigh...Now this strip on the back will make the shortage difference.
Below, joy again, in the vase....Tulips from Trader  Joe's...in season I guess, cuz the price is so right.
My African fabric snowball quilt on the wall behind it.

Today, I slept till noon.
Went to the pool for an hour.
Visited with my sister.
Took a nap????
Sewed while I did a few Zooms with friends..

Oh, Happy Day.
Now it is midnight and I am raring to go....!!
Is this what retirement looks like???

Linda from Vintage Turtle, thank you for the comment.
Pls send me  your email so we can talk more.

Scrap Crazy

Today was my appt with my eye doctor for my new glasses.
Confused again....Valentine's day is over...Still working on the pink crossroads quilt.
Yellow scrap flimsy finished...whew..
No privacy anywhere in this house!!
Nature's art....from the pine tree above....
March tulips in our yard from where, I do not know.
Aoife modeling her beauty for her family.
The 20 months picture.
Mother/daughter headbands....OK, Aoife/monkey headbands.

The  two children who live in my house are crabbing at each other...driving me nuts.
Dylan explains that that is what siblings do, argue...and they like it....Grandma here, is in her sewing room with the door closed. So very grateful for a door that closes.
Today is the end of the third quarter at middle school...only one more left.
OMG

Happy Valentine's Day

 A lovely Valentine card from: artist, Linda Swanecamp
I am Oh, so honored to be on her list of love.
From me to the world:  Tulips.  I love Sunflowers first and Tulips second...
Joy on my table.
My dear man said to me:  Happy Valentine's Day!  He said he was proud of me and loves me.
He said that because from where he is now, he could not access Amazon Prime. Would I please do it for him?  He knew that my arthritis was continuing to interfer with my sewing.
And so, here is Accuquilt Go Electric.
I just could not go to bed without cutting all these quick and accurate blocks, as I figure this out.
I am so grateful..
I was going to get  him the box of chocolates that he loved.  But, I knew, that he knew, I would eat them all myself.  Neither of us would approve of that!!
Love lasts forever 💕💕
