It’s a drizzly gray end of the week here in beautiful Hatfield Pa. It was 90 degrees at the start of the week. Today we hope to reach 60. The trees and the flowers are popping out all over and so are my allergies! 🤧
Here’s what’s blooming now.
Scraps and Such!

It was another one of those weeks that went a little too fast. I have no idea where the time went, of course I did have to finish the taxes !🤬 It was raining and windy most of the week so no gardening but I was able to make plans for the garden.
My daughter sent me pictures of flowers from her garden on the dining room table and I noticed she’s still using a Halloween table runner I made for her college apartment. 🤭 Of course I had to make her a new one. She wanted color, this is the start.
I started a new evening crochet project with yarn from Barnyard Knits. This is fingering weight and the color is Shipwreck.
Check out the other fabulous makes at RSC2024. Have a great weekend!
Well March was a month where I didn’t have many free Saturdays to blog. I can say lots of sewing was done.
I finished the Spring Collection bowls and have actually sold 2 of them!
I actually finished a small table runner made from cotton lawn with a little bit of hand stitching.
And my latest evening crochet project. It’s a shawl made with a cotton and acrylic gradient yarn.
I pulled out my yellow scraps and noticed I don’t really have many, but in the closet I have lots and lots of yardage and fat quarters. I guess that means I don’t choose yellow much when I’m creating. 🤔
Every year I plan to quilt on National Quilting Day. Of course every year something prevents me from quilting. This year was no exception. Got a text from my niece in the morning that she and my sister were doing a yarn crawl and they were going to stop by because one of the stores was near me.
I did get to start this purple bowl that I will add to my new group of bowls that I’m calling the Spring Collection! 😁
That's the end of my purple scrap play for the week. Here’s a peak at the other bowls in the collection. None are completely done.
I did a very little bit of work on this table runner I started before Covid hit me. Lots more half square triangles to trim. 😒
Have a great weekend and check out the purple makes at RSC2024.
Well it’s been sometime since I felt like blogging. The hubby brought Covid home the second week of February and I’ve been trying to get back to normal. Not testing positive but still have a cough even after Paxlovid and what seems like a million cough meds.
I’ve made a few items, mostly coiled rope of course.
Medium sized and small.
Today for the first time in a long, long time the sun was out when I got out of bed. I hope this means Spring is on the way! 😁 Which means I should start my garden plans.
I had a birthday on Monday. I received lots of goodies from friends and family. Flowers from hubby.
Flowers from my brother and sister in law.
A new spool of rope arrived this week. This is the size I use for trivets and I’ve already put it to good use.
This was the week of the fog! Warmer temperatures moved in along with rain to melt all of the used to be beautiful but now grey snow. It was like being in a horror movie! The good thing is all of the snow has disappeared. 😃
As it seems I’m still in instant gratification mode I still haven’t started or worked on any of the (pick any number) new quilts or WIPs I said I would start the year with. I had this on the design wall, but took it down.
But I’m still chugging away at coiled rope.😆
I finished these and it was perfect timing because this week I sold the first one I made from this orange fabric.
I worked on this bowl on Thursday after I got the idea right before I fell asleep on Wednesday night.
And of course I had to use a few more green scraps to make this trivet. I haven’t even made a dent in my green scraps yet. I’m thinking maybe a scrappy green table runner would help a bit. 🤔
