Sentimental Stitches

I had a terrible time deciding on what to post for the last day of the March Motifs. I poured through the three ring binders of designs I’ve collected over the years and finallydecided on a days of the week pattern since we’ve been doing days of the month.
While scanning them this morning before work […]

It was sunny and 40 degrees yesterday so Clutch and I went to the cottage and shoveled down through about half of the 3 foot snow bank at the end of the driveway. Boy can I feel that this morning!
I loaded the car last night planning to remove enough of what’s left of the snow […]

Sadly, the hunters came packing a high powered pellet riffle yesterday afternoon and the two residents have been evicted from the crawl space above the ceiling at the store.

As sad as it was, I have to admit to laughing when our expert marksman hollered “I got her” followed by “oh, crap” as he dropped down […]

Would you believe I have a big Rock Pigeon who decided to nest above the ceiling in the office at the shop. She made her way in through a broken window in the back parking lot. I’ve been asking our landlord to fix it for months to no avail. Now he’s really got his hands […]

Sure wish I could get another 12 hours in every day. I have so many things I want to work on and then there are those things you have to do like eat.
We only have 4 days left in the month. I can’t believe how fast the time went by.
Clutch is mending and taking […]

No, not my back, although mine is a little sore from sleeping in odd positions trying to keep Clutch comfortable. We visited the vet yesterday morning. They took x-rays and I learned how to do the feel for heat technique to find an injury. Seems our little guy twisted his back and is suffering from […]

What started out as a wonderful weekend is snowballing into a series of worries and frustrations. I can’t seem to get the laptop to talk nicely with the wireless network in the house. That really puts a big glitch in posting the motifs, answering emails and filling the orders for retired patterns. The pattern for […]

There weren’t too many Easter egg hunts in Grand Rapids today. Snow still covers the ground but our spirits are renewed with the celebration of Jesus’ resurrection.

For me, this day like Palm Sunday was always filled with music. We’d attend Easter services at our own church and it was my chance to sit in […]

Clutch and I are in Grand Rapids and mighty glad to be here. We left Traverse City last night on dry roads knowing we were driving toward an area under a Winter Storm Warning. I figured I had dry roads with no snow for about 75 miles so following my son Kevin’s advise, I didn’t […]

If you are leaving today like I am to spend Easter with family or friends, I wish you safe travels. Clutch and I are driving into a late winter storm in the southern part of Michigan tonight. We’ll just take our time and arrive whenever we get there. No plans for tonight other than hugs […]
