I have been working on quilting this quilt that a friend made. It has taken me 5 days to finish. It was fun but I am ready for a new project.

The Coolest Thing!

Have you heard of a Zorb ball? I am watching one of those shows where people bid on storage units. Sometimes the show irritates me. Too much testosterone boosters going on! However, tonight’s show is interesting. There was a Zorb ball in one of the units. I totally forgot that when I was at the [...]

Walking Away

I had trouble getting out of bed this morning. My daughter and I went for a walk last evening and I was worn out. My muscles are feeling the burn. That is good though, I am trying to get in shape. I have been working on advertising a carpet sale and carpet cleaning cary nc. [...]

The Gray is Winning

I prolonged getting my hair colored so that it looks decent for my son’s graduation from law school. I know, I know, there are more important things in life I should be worried about. Should I consider myotest reviews, decide who to vote for in the primary or care whether my hair looks good? I [...]

Hot and Cold

Karen — Mon, 07 May 2012 01:09:44 +0000

The weather cannot make up its mind. This morning I started out by wearing a flannel shirt. By noon, I was wearing a short sleeved shirt and looking for wet rated outdoor ceiling fans. I was amazed to find my flowers blooming already! Everything is ahead of schedule, weeds included. I pulled a few weeds [...]

Hopping to Different Quilt Shops

I joined friends for our own shop hop today. I am worn out! The first weekend of each month, one of our favorite quilt shops offers a huge sale. We each took advantage of some great bargains. I am making my mother in-law a quilt wall hanging. My goal was to get the fabric for [...]

Politics Perplex Me

Karen — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:28:54 +0000

On my way home from getting my blood drawn this morning, I saw a political yard sign in a friend’s yard. I know that everyone has their opinion on who would do a good job in different offices of our government but please!!! The guy, named on the sign she has in her yard, is [...]

Inside and Cozy

Karen — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 12:59:09 +0000

I am so glad it is raining. I enjoy staying inside, listening to the rain as it falls on our roof. Our lodge room has a high ceiling that makes a wonderful echoing sound when it rains. If I wasn’t working, I would curl up and take a nice nap. Now, when it rains in [...]

I Need This Doll

Karen — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 14:10:18 +0000

While going through the vendor’s booths at the quilt show in Cincinnati, we gals happened upon a booth that had items made from fabric that reminded me of Bali or somewhere tropical. There were small purses with cute owl decorations, shawls and other items. The one item that I had never seen was a dammit [...]
