I did not mean to leave for MQS (Machine Quilter’s Showcase) without a note on my blog, but I got pretty overwhelmed with preparing for leaving and just ran out of time. (Why did I leave everything for the last minute? Why do I always leave everything for the last minute? It all gets done, [...]

I’m catching up on some stuff I’ve been meaning to blog about, so this is a little bit of old news, but still blog-note-worthy, I think.
Before:
(OMG, did I really just show you what a slob I am?)

I am in the midst of cleaning my office. And not just a swipe over the top — I’m actually opening up the cabinets and clearing those out, too. It’s interesting the treasures you find when you do something like this.

She’ll probably have some knitting and some quilting and I don’t know what else. Poetry maybe?

I actually had a nice leisurely day of traveling (did not have to get up at the crack of dawn and had almost an hour to make the connection in Detroit). Was home before 6 and had a nice evening with the family. When I got here, the boys were filthy. And that was after [...]

Maggie could use some get-well vibes. I don’t want to go into the gory details, but she’s having some trouble with the incision from her surgery (that was 3 weeks ago…). She’s currently checked into the doggy hospital so she can get some fluids and so they can keep an eye on the bleeding.

I mentioned last week that I was getting my pictures taken. I got to look at some proofs last night, and have a photo to share!
Molly Clubb, MoCo Creative Services is the photographer.
