Busy Days and Nights!
My garden is mostly planted and what isn't planted, the seeds are started. There are about 65 tomato plants started, though not all in this picture. I think there are over 50 pepper plants started. I'm afraid to count them! :) In the raised beds, I have garlic, that will come out in June and I'll plant beans in those beds. I have asparagus that will stay where it is forever, as well as ...
Stitching, Ripping and Stitching Again

They've been open almost a year and I had never been there but a few weeks ago, they posted on Facebook about their monthly Saturday stitching day and ...
The Importance of Labeling
This is a problem of having too many projects started, as well as not labeling. I'm trying to do better but I'm always trying to do better at something. For weeks, this project in a frame kept calling out to me. Every time I would go to get a project from the bin, or replace a project in a bin, I would glance at this project and I didn't have a clue what it was. I kept telling myself I had ...
