ALL. DAY. LONG!

Welcome to Porch Season!

I'm still holding my breath.  Our warmer temps into the 70s this week may still trigger some cataclysmic ice event and send us back into snowmageddon, but for now we are taking things one day at a time and dang well enjoying every moment of porch time we can get!

This photo was taken last evening after 6pm (YAY! It's still daylight!) after my return trip from the vent with Tula. I was gone ALL. DAY. LONG!

Desk Day Done!

So what if my dreaded Desk Day took two days, and I've still got a form to fill out that I'm waiting for more info on after sending them an email requesting such?

Bouts of Scrapmania!

I mentioned that yesterday was a desk day.

Desk days are not that exciting - but are necessary for keeping things running and doing all of the things that need to be done.

I try to build myself up for those kinds of days - put on some nice music, make myself a big mug of lovely tea, light a candle to make things cozy - because the endless list of things to reply to, to fill out, to send off can be a drudge.  

It is what it is!

Sew Long, Farewell!

I tend to call the Wednesday to Sunday retreats as Quickie Retreats. 

They are long enough to have some fun, but not long enough to spend enough time with a group while they are here.

Before we even turn around, it seems like its time to pack up and head home.

Back to jobs, family, grandkids, life!

I am so grateful for the time we did get to spend together making some fun memories through the weekend, and the Lincoln Quilt Guild ladies from Lincolnton, North Carolina have got some great quilt tops to show for it!
