The Weigh-In
The weigh-in is tomorrow. No, not for me, for her… Chelsea has a weigh-in at the vet tomorrow, and we start preparing for it a week in advance. It’s kind of like Weight Watchers. You know the weigh-in is coming, so you cut back for a few days. I hope the bow doesn’t add ounces to the scale. She’s wearing it, because who can resist a plump Chihuahua in a bow? Helps hide the rolls around the collar. I can tell she hasn’t lost any weight. She feels heavy when I pick her up, and well, she looks heavy too. I’m going to make my husband take her for the weigh-in. …

Why I Love My Cat
It’s early in the morning: the sun hasn’t come up, just a desk light on next to my computer. The studio is quiet. I’m checking emails and catching up on things left undone from the night before. I suddenly realize my sweet cat, with the awful name (Mooch) has come to keep me company. She’s been there for awhile, before I really become aware of her. She’s made her bed on a notepad and pen next to my computer. I grab my camera, sitting there on my desk, and I capture the moment without waking her! She opens one eye and then closes it right away as if to say,…

Burrr, Is it cold where you live?
It’s February 5th and I’m ready with block number two of “Snowbound”. We’re going skiing! Might seem a little strange if you live in Australia, but here in the United States, many cities are covered in snow and freezing! Our little snowman doesn’t care about the cold. Cold means snow, and snow means fun! You’ll find the blocks in two places; on my web site and now on this blog! Just click on the “Free” tab at the top of my blog and you’ll see it. If my site is slow, please try again later. These little snowmen will be here all year. You’ll have plenty of time to download the…

Tomorrow I’ll Be More Organized…
Tomorrow I’ll be more organized, less cluttered, more on top of things and finished with all my projects. HA! I’ve been saying this to myself for months. Isn’t working. Hard as I try I can’t get ahead. Do you find yourself in the same situation? Well I’ve found a great blog that can help us. It’s called Unclutterer! She has somereally great tips. I subscribe to her blog by email so that every morning she’ll be there for me (she posts every day). Ready to help me organize my life. Heaven knows I need it. To all of you who commented on my pink refrigerator post, I’m KEEPING the refrigerator. It’s helping me…

Another pink post
I am the queen of shopping, just ask my husband. He’s given me the title, but he’s a bit biased. I should hesitate to accept, but I can’t help it. I love the title! It should come with a tiara that I can wear when I greet the UPS man. So there I was last weekend, the “Queen of Shopping” cleaning out the garage. Now that we’ve cancelled the studio addition I’m left with a few things I’ve purchased with the addition in mind. Most of my purchases are really smart buys. Things on sale with a price so low I just couldn’t pass them up. It’s great fun to…

American Patchwork, Vicki & Me
The journeys we take in life, always seem to bring unexpected pleasures. Those little things we never anticipate. Sweet surprises that can’t be predicted or even thought of when we start the journey. Amazing, is the word I use for these little pleasures. When I started designing, I never anticipated the friendships I would find along the way. I was focused on my business, trying to get it up and running, worried that I might not be successful, have enough money to continue, afraid people wouldn’t like what I did, and well, you get the idea. Oh my, it was a lot to focus on! Now as I look back on my…
