Phew! The blocks are done. All 28 of them! See KIP #3.
It’s now time to get the ends tucked in; blocks stitched together. There should be 4 blocks across and 7 rows of panels down. The original pattern called for 24 blocks to which I added 4 more blocks. My son would benefit from the extra length.
I [...]

Just a quick note here!
The 150th Post Giveaway deadline has been extended to tomorrow at 09:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time.
I just realized, today is Sunday and I go to work at around 10:30 p.m. tonight. That would leave me no time to check my blog. But I’ll be home early tomorrow morning and will get [...]
Blueberry Pie Season Just Starting

While cherry pie season is on the wane…
…the season for blueberry pie has just started. Barely.
See the difference in harvest yield. Gotta be patient. There is a week more of waiting before a whole bunch of blueberries will ripen. Nonetheless, blueberries are easy to handle than cherries.
I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready to MAKE PIE.
What’s [...]
Happy Fourth of July

The true sense of the 4th of July celebration has been lost by me. Well, not quite, really.
I’m happy for once I am off from work! So I have an excuse to lose any true sense of the celebration of the American independence Day that came into play in 1776. I am ready to celebrate. PERIOD.
Celebrate [...]
Yard Work

The rainy season seems to be over. For now.
What have I been doing lately? Yardwork, for sure. No knitting lately. Not that I was lazy. But the yard all around needed much attention. The weeds were as tall as I am.
Last year’s garden projects were scrapped by the project buster: Mr. Wonderful. Unless it’s counting [...]

If you have not followed a famous video clip of this one, here’s a fascinating story of:
FATE or SHEER LUCK?
In life, we have, had or about to encounter something similar, be it of a smaller scale or even a bigger one. The only thing that we always wish for, is to get out of it unscathed.

I didn’t expect many birthday gifts, but that’s alright. I appreciate what I have. And here they are:
Garden tools with mini-clock from my lil’ sister
Geranium pot from a co-worker
Kershaw Baby Boa folding knife from my son
Mr. Wonderful gave me a gift certificate (no photo) to my favorite local performing arts theatre. His sister mentioned that [...]
Knife Show Today!

Look what I got at the knife show today. A Katana (Japan) from the Edo period.
Pointy implements are such a big deal to My Precious; and me. Swords, switch blades and stilettos grab my interest real quickly; while my son’s into all sorts of knives, especially Balisong (butterfly knife).
Mr. Wonderful is not allowed to handle [...]
