I should've strutted a little louder. A little too subtle, but it's also me. #machineembroidery #peacock #toosubtle #taleswithfriendsStrutting my stuff Sunday morning. Stitching peacock and plans. #machineembroidery #peacock #stitching #strutting #taleswithfriendsDecember Reflections SHADOWS follow us wherever we go. I have to remember that light makes it possible. Without light, there can be no shadows. Sheba is my light. She's always looking out for me, making sure that I don't dwell in the darkness. Sometimes that place is just in our thoughts. It has no real foundations. Changing thoughts can turn on the light. #decemberreflections2018 #shadows #light #photochallenge #taleswithfriendsDecember Reflections BIGGEST SURPRISE In 2018 - All my elephants emerging in all their glory. Some more perfect than others. The latest in pink appliqué. It is somewhat flawed but stands proud with its trunk held high. #decemberreflections2018 #pink #biggestsurprisein2018 #elephants #applique #taleswithfriends #machineembroideryDecember Reflections HOME where the kettle is on and the buns are hot out of the oven. #decemberreflections2018 #home #kettleison #hotbuns #photochallenge #taleswithfriendsDecember Reflections BEST BOOK OF 2018 This is not a current book but it is one of the best ones I've read this year. It encouraged and motivated me to finish my table top of many squares. It's now boasting an embroidered story or two or three. Helen Kelley was a great quilter and story teller. She passed in 2008. I came upon this book quite by 'accident'. Of course I know that there's no such thing as accidents. It was meant to find me. #decemberreflections2018 #bestbookof2018 #helenkelley #everyquilttellsastory #taleswithfriendsWe are just pooped from creating. Just resting, snacking and watching traffic whiz by. #resting #snacking #watchingtraffic #tsleswithfriendsThe elephant is in the room. Her presence is hard to ignore. Her twin is trying to emerge on the other end. He proved a little more difficult to start. #machineembroidery #bernina #elephant #taleswithfriendsThere is an elephant in the room. I'm making it visible. #machineembroidery #elephant #bernina #taleswithfriendsDecember Reflections 5 THINGS ABOUT ME -I like to wear sunglasses 😎 -I can't tell a lie -I've given up skim milk and skimmed everything. I'm going for the whole of life -I have a dog named Sheba -I've gone bananas over creating with my Bernina, paints and whatever is nearby #decemberreflections2018 #5thingsaboutme #taleswithfriends

Here I am. It’s tough to get going some days. The best tactic is not to sit too long. Get up and get going. It’s just what I did this morning. I got up and started stitching though I was … Continue reading

JAMMING IT
There’s something so soothing and meditative about squishing grapes that I never thought possible! That’s the surprise I discovered when I sat down with my two pounds of Concord grapes. Two pounds is not alot but too much to eat. … Continue reading
