It seems that Monday has become my errand running day. Nothing makes me more tired so every Monday night I am exhausted. When I was at the Jonesboro Wal-Mart this afternoon I asked one of the employees when the remodeling would be finished and she told me in three months. I then smiled at her [...]
I have finally finished working with all my quilt photographs and now I have no excuse for not posting them to my blog. When I got home from church a few minutes after eight, I had every intention of being in bed no later than nine but here it is after eleven and I am [...]
I think the end is in sight for the sorting and deleting of quilt photographs. The longer I work the more I delete for I get tired of looking and get more eager with the delete button. I seem to do the same thing when I am sorting things like clothes for the thrift shop. [...]
Since I have so many pictures of quilts that I have made in the past twenty years, I am so glad that they are digital and on the computer and not printed on paper and in boxes. Hopefully by bedtime Sunday night I will have them all sorted, cropped, resized and ready to post to [...]

I already had many different floral fabrics but I started buying more anytime I saw a piece that was exceptionally pretty. I finally got up enough nerve to make a wall hanging and really had [...]
FIVE FINGER PRAYER
1. Your thumb is nearest you. So begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember. To pray for our loved ones is, as C. S. Lewis once said, a “sweet duty.”
2. The next finger is the pointing finger. Pray for those who teach, instruct and [...]
I spent a great deal of time today cropping and resizing pictures that I planned to use in a blog post and even did about three descriptions and then decided that I did not like the way things looked and scrapped the whole idea. Every so often I do that and then I get irritated [...]
